Who it's for

Contract transport teams

Contract transport teams often repeat a customer lane while the promised timing, vehicle or charge changes from one movement to the next. ERP for Logistics keeps the freight request and trip context available to the people planning, executing and reviewing that work. Finance Officer can then prepare charges with a clear parent record.

How Logistics ERP is set up for you

Customer context

Select the intended customer and record the lane and promised date. Identify the Requested trip produced by capture before handing it to the planning team.

Evidence responsibility

Dispatcher captures actual stop progress and delivery proof. Transport Reviewer decides whether the evidence supports confirmation of the linked trip.

Charge clarity

Keep order-based linehaul, fuel and accessorial charges separate from trip charge drafts. Agree the reconciliation and currency convention before comparing totals.

Contract transport teams often repeat a customer lane while the promised timing, vehicle or charge changes from one movement to the next. ERP for Logistics keeps the freight request and trip context available to the people planning, executing and reviewing that work. Finance Officer can then prepare charges with a clear parent record.

Choose a repeat customer lane and rehearse consecutive requests with different promised dates. Confirm that the team identifies the intended generated trip rather than matching by customer and destination alone. Review the vehicle and driver assignment for each movement before dispatch approval.

Have Dispatcher capture recipient evidence on the correct trip and ask Transport Reviewer to explain the confirmation decision. Include a disputed delivery so the team agrees who investigates it and how corrected evidence reaches review. Finance Officer should be able to read the outcome without changing the operating proof.

Prepare a separate charge draft, approve it through the agreed decision path and inspect its invoicing handoff. Establish the accounting connection separately and identify any existing posting before retrying. Use [trip charge approval and posting](/erp-for-logistics/processes/trip-charge-approval-and-posting) as the rehearsal guide. Keep customer commitments and financial outcomes traceable without inferring payment from an invoice reference.
