Increased Services Invoicing Means Greater Revenue: 3PLs Get Paid for Their Value Faster.

The 3PL industry continues to prosper as more businesses partner with service providers offering multiple capabilities, focused expertise and the ability to support their clients’ future growth. However, the exponential explosion of smaller orders has created an immediate challenge for today’s 3PLs, as contract terms have historically been structured for a customer profile that has changed. The demands of the current high-volume, high-throughput environment have exposed weaknesses in many existing contract management and billing procedures.

As the competitive landscape evolves, today’s 3PL CFOs are challenging their organizations to increase revenue opportunities per contract while simultaneously cutting operating costs. Their concerns include:

• Ensuring accurate documentation of all provided services for full invoicing.
• The amount of time spent by internal personnel reviewing and verifying monthly customer invoices.
• Minimizing the number of people involved in this administrative process.
• The need to improve efficiency in this effort.
• Establishing customer invoice agreements faster to improve accounts receivable invoicing.

“This situation has created a new opportunity to identify and enhance invoicing practices, enabling 3PLs to get paid for their value in less time,” explained Deutsch. “With the new, cloud-based EPG Contract Management solution for 3PLs, logistics service providers can automate and streamline their billing processes for faster invoice verification and payment.”

The solution enables 3PLs to quickly and accurately invoice all provided services for their different clients — often days earlier in the month than previously achieved. It also enables businesses to dramatically decrease the amount of effort required of the traditional invoice verification process by up to 80%, significantly reducing days sales outstanding (DSO) for payment.
