New Freight Invoicing Dashboard

Tuesday, 2 December 2008 by Lloyd Phillips

eCargo now provides users with a simple and intuitive real time dashboard for creating buyer created invoices and managing exceptions. As freight movements are executed within eCargo, the freight costs are calculated based on freight rates and business rules configured in the system.

Using the Invoice Dashboard a user can view all freight costs that are ready to be invoiced, or have errored during calculation - due to missing freight rates or incomplete consignment data.

From the dashboard the user can drill down to resolve the calculation errors or create an invoice for all calculated costs in a one-step process. The user has control over cutoff dates for invoicing and the invoice date itself.

eCargo caters for multiple suppliers and multiple logistics activities, such as Roadfreight, Rail, Sea Freight, Port Logistics - any activity that incurs costs and can be measured.

Once created eCargo will generate the legal invoice document as a PDF file, immediately sending the invoice electronically to all integrated buyer and supplier finance systems. Users can optionally manually export the invoice into their finance system.
