Carrier Self-Billing Delivers Win-Win Functionality

Shippers and carriers expedite the settlement process and align account payables when shippers use carrier self-billing to generate invoices and execute payments based on agreed-upon rates. There’s no more waiting for manual invoice entry. A touchless process starts with a predefined trigger event that generates an invoice, requests payment, and manages exceptions as they occur. By eliminating administrative chokepoints, carrier self-billing allows transportation service providers to focus on moving more freight while shippers enjoy real-time cost accounting.
