3PL billing · In development

ClearRate

Every charge, traced.

3PL billing that turns warehouse activity into clear client invoices, with every line linked to the work behind it. Built in to NorthCore WMS, or used alongside the WMS you already have.

Illustration: an example monthly invoice where each line shows the activity it came from. — Illustration, not a product screenshot.

Why we’re building it

Billing is where 3PL margin quietly leaks: storage and handling worked out from spreadsheets at month end, charges missed, and clients querying lines nobody can explain. ClearRate works the charges out from the activity itself and keeps the working.

The work so far

A look at ClearRate

Design previews. ClearRate is in development, so the screens may change. Names and figures are made up.

Design preview of a ClearRate draft invoice: each charge line shows its rate card line, quantity and the records it came from. — Design preview A draft invoice to check: every line shows where it came from.

Design preview of a ClearRate import check: rows read, matched, unknown client codes and dates outside the month. — Design preview Importing a month of activity from another WMS, with problems caught first.

Version 1

What it does

Your rate cards.

Set storage, handling, picking and extra charges for each client, the way your contracts are written.
Every line traced.

Each invoice line links back to the receipts, orders and stock counts behind it.
Import from any WMS.

Bring activity in from CSV or Excel. Checks flag missing or odd data before it reaches an invoice.
Built in to NorthCore.

Inside NorthCore WMS, activity flows straight in. On its own, it works alongside the WMS you already use.
Fewer disputes.

When a client queries a charge, the working is already there to show them.
Month end, sooner.

Invoices built from the month’s activity, ready to check rather than piece together.

Where it’s at

Version 1 progress

Designed. The billing engine is being built inside NorthCore WMS first, then released on its own.

Built so far

Product design: what it charges for, how each line traces back, and how imports are checked

Still to build

Rate cards for each client
Charges worked out from activity: storage, goods in, picks and extras
Every invoice line traced to its records
CSV and Excel activity import, with checks
Draft invoices to check and approve, with Excel export
Built in to NorthCore WMS, and on its own

How it works

Yours, on your systems

Runs on your servers.

You install it on your own server or cloud account. We never host it and never see your data.
A licence, not a seat fee.

No per-user charges. If a licence lapses, your data stays readable: you’re never locked out of it.
Made by people who’ve done the job.

Built around how warehouse work actually gets done, by people who’ve run the floor.
