Circular Showcase: Type Global
Type is the SaaS platform helping e-commerce retailers, ITAD and circular technology providers, brands and 3PLs automate carrier claims management and invoice reconciliation, recovering revenue that would otherwise stay hidden in operational costs.
From short deliveries and lost parcels to billing discrepancies, Type monitors shipment data in real time, compiles the evidence each carrier requires and submits claims automatically.
Turning Missed Carrier Compensation into Recovered Revenue
Every year, millions worth of legitimate carrier compensation remains unclaimed. Not because carriers refuse to pay, but because the claims process is fragmented, manual and difficult to manage at scale.
Type was founded in 2025 to close this gap. Rather than replacing existing carrier relationships, Type works alongside them, automating compliant claims management and auditing carrier invoices to identify billing discrepancies that would otherwise go unnoticed.
The commercial impact can be significant. Within four weeks of implementing Type, one global business recovered more than £150,000 in legitimate carrier compensation, despite believing its existing claims process was already operating effectively.
No change of carrier. No additional operational resource. Just greater visibility, better automation and more revenue.
Why Type?
For ITAD and circular technology providers managing claims and invoice accuracy across growing carrier networks, Type brings real-time monitoring, compliant automation and audit-ready evidence within one platform.
✅ Real-time claims raising: Type consolidates shipment and claims data into one portal, automatically compiles supporting evidence and enables legitimate claims to be raised as soon as an issue is identified.
✅ Invoice reconciliation, built in: Alongside claims automation, the platform audits carrier invoices to identify easy-to-miss billing discrepancies.
✅ Fast, disruption-free implementation: Type integrates with existing tech stacks and carrier systems, supporting both domestic and international networks as customer demand grows.
✅ Proven and recognised: Type was named Ecommerce Software Extension of the Year at the 2025 UK Ecommerce Awards.
Where Type is Heading
Type’s product roadmap continues to expand beyond claims automation into broader freight intelligence, carrier invoice reconciliation and supply chain insights.
As Type onboards ITAD and circular technology providers globally, its focus remains on building technology that removes friction from the shipping ecosystem and creates value for every participant.
Its ambition is to become the trusted platform for recovering shipping revenue, improving carrier transparency and automating logistics administration.

Whether you’re managing claims across thousands of parcels or auditing carrier invoices for the first time, Type can build a partnership that fits.
