The 3PL Billing Automation Engine is designed to fully automate the financial and operational processes in third-party logistics businesses of all sizes by automatically creating periodic sales order and invoices. It’s capable of handling millions of orders every week and billions of dollars in inventory and removes the manual, time-consuming, error-prone tasks of multiple teams. This results in time and resource savings, accelerates month-end close, and opens avenues for new revenue streams.

Complex 3PL Contract Set Up & Admnistration

The 3PL Billing Automation Solution simplifies the entire customer contract setup and management processes. 3PL companies and providers can easily define contract terms, fees, and charges, and have them automatically applied to their clients. Once you define what is being billed, how charges are calculated, and invoice timing, you can leave the rest to the 3PL software to automate the process for you. These include:

 

  • One-time Client Contract Charges (Contract Initiation, Integrations)
  • Transaction Based Charges (Purchasing, Shipping, Material, Freight)
  • Calculated Based Charges (Storage, Minimum)
  • Time Based Charges (Recurring, Minimum)

 

All contract information is centralized within D365 Finance & Supply Chain Management, providing a single location for 3PL companies to easily and securely access contract details. It also enables 3PL companies to bill their clients for handling and shipping their products based on contract terms. These billable activities may include charges for packing, shipping, labeling/branding, kitting, and freight. This enhances the automated 3PL billing process, encompassing more business transactions beyond the warehouse than before.

 

Additionally, the tool can manage escalations, auto-renewals, and contract termination dates on behalf of 3PL warehouses and providers, automating complex and manual operational and financial processes for teams across your 3PL organization.

Customer Branding

The 3PL Billing Automation Solution is ideal for 3PL clients who sell multiple brands and want to keep their accounting separate. This innovative feature allows clients’ products to be identified and sorted by Brand. This allows clients to receive automated invoices separated by brand with just as much ease as any other automated invoices.

 

With this feature, the collection of billable activities is fast and efficient, with near-real-time data collection and automatic organization of sales orders by client and brand. This streamlined process eliminates the need for manual efforts in the billing process, saving you countless hours of work.

Client Specific Transactions

The Avantiico 3PL Warehouse and Billing solution also adds functionality around fulfillment. Fulfillment requests can be received as EDI transactions, as Intelligent Order Management (IOM) marketplace orders, or as customer specific .XML or .CSV files. These requests are subsequently transformed into sales orders, automating and speeding up another manual and time-consuming process.
