CargoWise’s Itemized Freight Billing tool provides a precise breakdown of freight prices, enabling full transparency between logistics providers and their clients. Instead of providing a single figure, the approach divides each cost component into line items, such as fuel surcharges, handling fees, customs taxes, and delivery prices. This level of clarity helps logistics companies and their customers understand where expenses come from and how final charges are computed, encouraging trust and preventing billing conflicts.

CargoWise automates itemization by integrating with operational workflows and extracting real-time data from cargo activities. This guarantees that each charge accurately reflects real service usage and is consistent with contract conditions or rate cards. The system can handle both pre-configured and customized billing templates, making it suitable for businesses with unique pricing structures or value-added services. Itemized billing also facilitates internal financial analysis, allowing logistics teams to track cost trends, evaluate margins, and make data-driven pricing decisions.
