The freight industry is a dynamic and complex field where pricing plays a pivotal role. Unfortunately, most professionals in the sector struggle with complicated pricing conditions and rules. As a result, many resort to manual billing, a process that is not only time-consuming but also highly prone to errors. However, Logisoft changes the game by offering a cutting-edge solution to automate and simplify freight pricing and invoicing.

Imagine billing an entire voyage in less than a minute! This is not just a possibility—it’s a reality with Logisoft. For example, a leading logistics provider that implemented Logisoft’s solution reduced their billing time by 90%, allowing them to process 500 invoices in a single day with zero errors. This efficiency transformed their operations, leading to increased client satisfaction and a significant boost in revenue. Here’s how we transform freight pricing and billing to enhance efficiency and profitability.

How Logisoft Solves Freight Pricing Challenges

Simplify Standard Charges with Predefined Options

Logisoft allows you to predefine all standard charges such as:

  • Sea Freight: The cost of transporting cargo via ocean shipping.
  • BAF (Bunker Adjustment Factor): Charges related to fuel price fluctuations.
  • CAF (Currency Adjustment Factor): Charges for currency exchange rate adjustments.
  • THC (Terminal Handling Charges): Costs incurred for cargo handling at terminals.

This predefined setup ensures consistency, accuracy, and faster processing for every shipment.

Tailored Tariff Rules for Flexible Freight Pricing

With Logisoft, you can create custom tariff rules tailored to:

  • Shipping Instructions: Adjust charges based on unique instructions for the cargo.
  • Cargo Specifications: Factor in dimensions, weight, and other characteristics.
  • Client Groups: Group tariff rules by clients for personalized pricing.

The system’s flexibility allows you to apply lump-sum charges, percentages based on dimensions or weight, and even rules for over-dimensional cargo such as:

  • Over Height
  • Over Length
  • Over Width
  • Over Weight

Tariffs can also scale proportionally if the cargo dimensions exceed certain limits, ensuring precise and fair pricing.

Adaptable Tariff Rules for General and Client-Specific Needs

Logisoft empowers you to define both generic tariff rules and specific ones for individual clients or client groups. This ensures you meet diverse pricing needs with:

  • Percentage-based charges.
  • Volume or weight-based pricing.
  • Flexible adjustments for customer-specific agreements.

Optimize Pricing with Volume Discounts and Daily Storage Charges

Offer flexible discounts based on shipment volume to incentivize larger shipments. Additionally, manage storage charges by the day, ensuring that every aspect of your pricing strategy aligns with your business goals.

Quick and Accurate Invoice Generation in Three Clicks

Generate invoices effortlessly in just three clicks:

  • Select the targeted voyage.
  • Apply auto-charges.
  • Generate the invoices.

With this streamlined process, a full voyage can be billed in less than a minute, saving your team hours of manual work and minimizing errors.

Automated Invoicing and Seamless Accounting Integration

Logisoft’s automation doesn’t stop at invoice generation. The system auto-sends invoices to your clients and integrates seamlessly with your accounting software. This ensures that financial records are updated in real time, improving accuracy and reducing administrative workload.

Additional Advantages of Logisoft Freight Pricing Software

  1. Integrated Shipping Data: Logisoft’s integration with ocean carriers and seaport terminals ensures that all necessary shipping data, such as vessel schedules, cargo manifest details, and port-specific charges, is automatically retrieved and updated. This comprehensive data integration eliminates manual entry, enhances accuracy, and keeps operations running smoothly. This eliminates manual data entry and reduces the risk of discrepancies.
  2. Detailed Invoice Templates: The invoice templates are designed specifically for the shipping industry, ensuring that they include all necessary shipping-related data relevant to your operations. These templates provide key details tailored to streamline your processes and enhance accuracy. For example, they feature clearly defined sections for:
  • POL (Port of Loading) and POD (Port of Discharge), specifying the start and endpoint of shipments.
  • Voyage Details, such as the voyage number, vessel name, and schedule, offering a clear reference for tracking and documentation.
  • Cargo Manifest, including detailed cargo information like dimensions, weight, volume, and descriptions, ensuring precise and transparent invoicing.

This comprehensive layout guarantees that all critical shipping data is presented professionally, making the invoice not just a billing document but a reliable reference for shipping operations and customer communication.
