METERED BILLING ENGINE

Automated Multi-Client Settlement and Logistics Billing

Fragmented cost tracking across storage footprints, physical handling, and packaging materials causes recurring accounting disputes. Hub3PL records and settles every operation automatically.

Midnight Storage Footprint Computation

Every midnight, the billing engine accurately computes active floor and racking occupancy per depositor: Euro-pallets, industrial pallets, half-pallets, cubic meters, or shelving bin slots, generating daily accrual records.

Real-Time Event-Driven Operational Metering

Every action confirmed by warehouse staff in the WMS or on industrial PDAs streams directly into the settlement engine:

  • Container and trailer unloading with ASN compliance verification.
  • Base order preparation fee (first pick item).
  • Incremental pick surcharge per additional unit or line item.
  • Packaging materials consumed (custom boxes, reinforced tape, bubble wrap).
  • Special handling, shrink-wrapping, kitting, and fuel surcharges.

Projected Pre-Invoices and Contractual Reconciliation

Depositors track accrued monthly charges in real time through their self-service web portal. At period close, the system generates itemized settlement statements ready for ERP export (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage) or SEPA XML bank debits.
