Accessorial Charges Strategy
Using RF-enabled devices with our WMS ensures that billing will be updated in real time as the events are recorded via the desktop or mobile devices in the warehouse. One time accessorial charges can be manually added from the desktop or mobile devices as work is completed or can be added as extra charges if special circumstances dictate.
Inbound Storage Strategy
Storage charges can be billed based on the same criteria as handled inbound (LP, Unit, Volume, or Weight), but can be billed using specified billing periods.
- Can bill based on carrier service type
- Can do full month & split month billing
Outbound Handling Strategy
Users set up rates for inventory being shipped from warehouse
- Billed by license plate
