If you run a 3PL warehouse, you know the drill: accurate billing is one of the biggest headaches you face. Every single incoming shipment is a stack of small jobs: checks, scans, measurements, and manual tasks. And every single one needs to be priced correctly for every single one of your clients.
It's time-consuming, it’s detail-heavy, and it’s a massive chance for mistakes.
With PULPO’s new 3PL Billing feature for inbound operations, we’ve made this process clearer, faster, and far more organized.
This feature focuses exclusively on your inbound activities (from receiving to putaway). It gives your fulfillment company a reliable, simple way to calculate and export billing for each merchant, all directly inside your warehouse management system.
Forget messy external spreadsheets. Now, you can keep a unique billing template for every merchant right inside PULPO.
These templates define exactly how costs should be calculated for their inbound freight. They take the guesswork out of pricing, removing the risk of missed or inconsistent charges.
Your billing setup can be completely customized to match the exact services you provide for each client.
Inbound work is never one-size-fits-all. Different clients require different services, and therefore, different billing rules.
PULPO’s billing templates make it easy to create simple cost structures based on the work you actually do:
Each rule has its own price, its own calculation method, and a clear description, giving you total flexibility to match your business model.
Not every inbound activity is captured by a scanner. That's why we included the option for "free-cost" or manual items.
This is perfect for adding costs like:
Just enter the quantity and price, and PULPO adds it directly to the billing summary.
Once the template is set and the inbound work is done, you can instantly generate a CSV billing report.
The report includes everything needed for invoicing:
The result is clean, transparent billing that your logistics clients will easily understand and accept.
Every report you generate for a client is securely saved in their dedicated Billing Reports section inside PULPO.
Whether you need to check past data for an invoice, prepare for an audit, or discuss a charge with a customer, your entire billing history is always accessible and neatly organized.
The new inbound billing module is designed for 3PLs and logistics teams who want a structured, reliable way to price their services without jumping between different systems. It brings clarity, accuracy, and confidence to a process that currently takes too much manual effort.
On a site-note: PULPO WMS also provides a Business-Intelligence Suite where you can share live information for your customers of all the work that you do in your warehouse. This creates both a great opportunity for them to see progress in real-time, but also creating trust through 100% transparency of the work you provide, reducing any possible discussions about monthly invoices shared with them.
