Revenue leaking silently
Every unrecorded pallet in, rework job or container unpack is work you did for free. A few percent of leakage is an entire margin.
Capture every dollar you earn
Most 3PLs don't have a pricing problem — they have a capture problem. Handling that happened but never got written down. Storage counted from memory. Pickpoint records the charge at the moment the work happens, then turns a billing period into invoices in one click.
Sound familiar?
Month-end spreadsheet marathons
Billing built from spreadsheets and recollection takes days, arrives late, and starts arguments.
Charges clients dispute
When you can't show exactly what was done and when, every invoice line is negotiable.
Built into the software, not bolted on
Rate cards per client
Model your real agreements, not a simplified version of them.
- Rates for inbound, outbound, storage, containers, pallet hire, admin and minimum charges
- Storage charged by location, pallet, unit or cubic metre per week — with configurable free days
- Container charges including unpack, wharf infrastructure and heavy-container fees
- Under-bond storage charged per cbm/day with accrual visible on the monitor
- Rate groups let you reuse standard rate cards across similar clients
Automatic charge capture
The charge is raised when the work happens — not when someone remembers.
- Pick charges raised automatically the moment an order is picked and its label printed
- Storage accrues continuously from the stock ledger — no manual counts
- Receiving, container and pallet-hire (CHEP/Loscam) charges captured in the inbound flow
- Ad-hoc value-added services recorded on the spot — from the handheld, on the warehouse floor
Approval before invoicing
Review the charges, then bill with confidence.
- Service approval queues for inbound and outbound charges, so nothing bills without review
- Service activity reporting shows exactly what was charged, to whom, and why
- Every charge traces back to the order, receipt or service that generated it
One-click invoice runs
Close the period, generate the invoices, move on.
- Billing periods roll accumulated charges into invoice lines automatically
- Branded invoice templates per client, with configurable line and item detail
- Invoice export feeds your accounting system
- Usage and storage-history reports back every number on the invoice

Billing & Invoicing: common questions
How does Pickpoint capture 3PL charges?
Charges are captured automatically at the moment work happens: pick charges are raised when an order is picked and labelled, storage accrues continuously from the stock ledger, and receiving, container and pallet-hire fees are captured in the inbound flow.
Can storage be charged by pallet, location or cubic metre?
Yes. Storage rates can be set per location, pallet, unit or cubic metre per week, with configurable free days, and under-bond storage can be charged per cubic metre per day.
Can I review charges before they are invoiced?
Yes. Separate approval queues for inbound and outbound service charges let you review every accessorial charge before it reaches an invoice.
How are invoices generated?
Billing periods roll all captured charges into invoice lines automatically. Closing a period generates every client invoice in one run, using branded templates with configurable detail, and invoices can be exported to your accounting system.
