Automated storage fee collection

Every chargeable day,
captured.

FreightReserve tracks free time, accrues daily storage from your own rates and collects payment online, so the storage revenue that slips through manual tracking is captured automatically, with no maths and no missed days.

The billing problem

Storage revenue
quietly leaks.

Storage is a real revenue line, but when free time and daily accrual are tracked on a spreadsheet, days get missed, charges get under-stated and disputes drag on. The money that should be billed simply is not.

01

Chargeable days missed

Manual free-time tracking means some chargeable days are never billed at all.

02

Charges understated

Hand-worked rates and tiers are easy to get wrong, leaving money on the table.

03

Slow, manual invoicing

Working out charges by hand for every consignment is slow and error-prone.

04

Billing disputes

Without a clear breakdown, customers query charges and payment stalls.

05

No clean reconciliation

Matching charges to payments at month end is a manual, error-prone chore.
