Is manual invoicing killing your 3PL’s growth?

“We do it in Excel” they said.

I almost fell out of my chair. 😳

This 3PL was processing 1,000+ orders daily…

Managing millions in revenue…

And doing their invoicing manually.

Here’s why this is dangerous:

MANUAL INVOICING RISKS

• Missing billable activities costs you thousands in revenue
• Excel errors compound over time, destroying profitability
• Hours spent reconciling could be used growing your business
• Delayed invoicing hurts your cash flow

THE REALITY

For small operations, Excel works fine.

When you’re shipping a few truckloads?

Still manageable.

But everything changes when you hit:

• Hundreds of daily orders
• Multiple billing activities
• Complex rate structures
• Different client agreements

THE SOLUTION

You need a proper data management system.

Not because it’s fancy.

But because it’s the difference between:

• Capturing 100% of revenue vs leaving money on the table
• Spending hours vs minutes on invoicing
• Growing confidently vs hoping you got the numbers right

All the Best,
