By calculating accurate freight rates in-house and using them to check freight rates and process invoices, you can significantly reduce the amount of time spent on creating invoices and freight cost management documents.

1. Features/Functions of Transportation Cost Management System

Streamline management operations by creating delivery cost management materials and speeding up billing processing

	It is possible to calculate freight rates for route, courier, charter, airmail, delivery agency, and combined route and courier. It is also possible to set insurance rates and discount rates per transport data for each shipping company, as well as additional fees such as inspection fees and vertical carrying fees for deliveries to department stores (optional feature).

2. Problem and solution steps (example)

STEP1: Accurate fare calculation

■Issue

Delivery cost management (freight management) is left to the staff in charge of each department, and they do not have a grasp of all freight contract types. Although the company calculates its own freight rates, there are many calculation errors in manual calculations, and even if it uses spreadsheet software, it struggles with processing when changing contract types. I would like to know the approximate freight cost when I receive an order.

⇒Solutions

By registering the current type of freight contract, accurate calculations can be made by anyone other than the person in charge. The calculation is accurate according to the registered contents, and even when changing the type of fare contract, the calculation conditions can be easily listed and changed to prevent omission of changes. You can easily estimate the freight rates of registered shipping companies based on the region, weight, and number of pieces.

STEP2: I want to streamline fare verification work

■Issue

It takes a lot of time every time to check the freight bill details from the shipping company against the company’s own data. It takes a lot of time to reconcile actual results with billing details, and we would like to calculate prepaid freight costs in-house and create freight payment data for carriers/customers.

⇒Solutions

By using the freight statement data for each invoice that is output, it is possible to accurately and quickly match the freight statement data from the shipping company. This can be handled by setting up temporary storage locations and separate shipping processes and operations.

STEP3: I want to create cost control documents quickly.

■Issue

I want to manage the delivery cost (freight) by department or by product group, but it takes time to create distribution materials such as mixed freight, which is a problem.

⇒Solutions

With the input/output interface and optional functions, loading information by department or product group can be added to divide freight charges (by weight or by individual) during mixed loading.
