In transport and logistics, margin is made route by route. Yet many companies bill from spreadsheets and discover real costs at month-end. A logistics ERP links operations, rates and costs daily.
Transport billing rules
Per-customer rate cards (weight, pallets, km, zones), extras (tail-lift, waiting time, handling), fuel indexation, minimums and credit notes — applied automatically from actual operations.
From order to invoice
Order intake (portal, EDI, API), route planning, execution with proof of delivery, automatic pricing, invoicing.
Margins per route, customer and vehicle
Matching billed revenue with fuel, tolls, driver hours, vehicles and subcontracting shows which contracts to renegotiate.
Transport companies do not lack numbers; they lack connected numbers.
Integrations
Telematics, driver apps, customer portals, accounting and carriers — see shipping integration and ERP and customs. Budget: custom ERP cost.
Logistics ERP and transport billing: FAQ
Is a TMS enough for billing?
For planning, often; complex rate cards and route margins usually need a dedicated module.
Can route margin be real-time?
Yes, if costs flow automatically from telematics and driver apps.
