How conflicts actually happen
in Logistics & Supply Chain

These diagrams show the relationship patterns ConflictCheck is designed to detect — before they become legal or financial crises.

The Kickback Triangle
A manager routes contracts to a secretly owned vendor, who pays kickbacks back. The owner pays inflated prices and never knows.

The Dual Role Conflict
One individual serves two parties whose interests are directly opposed — a textbook undisclosed conflict of interest.

🚨 Real Scenario: The Carrier Rebate
A freight broker receives volume rebates from specific carriers and systematically routes loads to them regardless of whether they offer the best rate or service for the shipper.

Documented Scenarios

These aren't hypotheticals.
They happen every day.

🚨
The Carrier Rebate
A freight broker receives volume rebates from specific carriers and systematically routes loads to them regardless of whether they offer the best rate or service for the shipper.
🚨
The Customs Arrangement
A customs broker accepts payments from a client's trading partner to expedite clearance — creating an undisclosed agency conflict and potential legal exposure for all parties.
🚨
The TMS Algorithm
A TMS vendor structures its carrier scoring algorithm to give favorable placement to carriers who pay a preferred partner fee — a conflict never disclosed to customers who rely on the algorithm for optimization.
How It Works

Systematic protection,
not one-time audits.

🗺️

Map Every Party

Import parties via spreadsheet, document upload, or manual entry. ConflictCheck deduplicates, maps beneficial ownership, and cross-references public records automatically.

🤖

AI Conflict Detection

Our engine finds the connections manual reviews miss — shared addresses, overlapping ownership, dual roles, and transaction patterns that indicate fraud.

📋

Annual Disclosures

Every party certifies annually. Overdue disclosures escalate automatically. Everything stored immutably — timestamped, signed, legally defensible.
