Carrier Portals: One Place for Communications, Invoicing, and Reporting
Shippers and carriers need quick, clear communications on every transaction detail – from bookings & tenders to equipment, service lanes, payment terms, and consolidated billing. Within MercuryGate TMS, seamless access between execution functions and the carrier portal streamlines procurement. Meanwhile, easy access through a web-browser enables participation among more carrier options.
- Accurate, timely updates on the status of every shipment.
- Less time spent monitoring multiple communication channels.
- Manage exceptions directly without leaving the TMS.
- Less time spent on check calls and managing documents.
- Faster communication when shipment changes are needed.
- Increased productivity and seamless access to more freight.
Supplier Portals Keep Everyone Aligned Through Visibility
Supplier portal solutions allow greater visibility to inbound shipments and increase control across the shipment lifecycle – from first mile through the final mile. Vendors can see and interact with purchase orders, releases, receipts, invoices, and payments as needed. At the same time, every supplier portal is customizable, so you can build configurations that address priorities with suppliers and supply chain partners based on your business goals.
