Billing automation built for 3PL operators

From rate card setup to invoice delivery — everything you need to bill clients accurately and get paid faster.

Customizable rate cards

Define per-unit rates for storage, handling, receiving, shipping, and any custom service. Each client gets their own rate card — no one-size-fits-all.

Auto-generated invoices

Pull actual warehouse activity — pallets stored, units picked, orders shipped — and generate invoices automatically. No spreadsheets, no manual counting.

Professional PDF export

Generate polished PDF invoices with your branding, detailed line items, subtotals, and payment terms. Download or send directly from the dashboard.

One-click email delivery

Send invoices to clients directly from rackzip. The system auto-populates recipient emails and attaches the PDF — one click and it's delivered.

From warehouse activity to paid invoice in four steps

No spreadsheets, no manual counting, no revenue leakage.

01

Set up rate cards

Define billing rates per client — storage per pallet/day, handling per unit, receiving fees, shipping charges, and custom line items.

02

Operations happen

As your team receives, stores, picks, and ships, rackzip tracks every billable event automatically against the right client.

03

Generate invoice

Select a client and date range. rackzip pulls all billable activity, applies rate cards, and generates a detailed invoice — in seconds.

04

Send & track

Email the PDF invoice directly, or download it. Track invoice status — DRAFT, SENT, PAID, OVERDUE — all from the billing dashboard.

Professional invoices — generated in seconds

Every invoice pulls real warehouse data. Storage days are calculated from actual receiving and shipping dates. Handling quantities come from completed pick orders. Nothing is estimated — everything is auditable.

Download as a polished PDF with your branding, or send directly to the client via email — one click. Track status from DRAFT through SENT to PAID.

Every billing model your 3PL needs

Whether you charge per pallet, per pick, or per project — rackzip handles it.

Storage billing

Charge per pallet, per bin, or per cubic foot. Calculate storage duration automatically based on receiving and shipping dates.

Handling fees

Per-unit charges for receiving, putaway, picking, packing, and shipping. Rates can vary by SKU weight class or service level.

Value-added services

Custom line items for kitting, labeling, repackaging, quality inspection, or any specialized service you provide.

Minimum billing

Set minimum monthly charges per client to ensure baseline revenue coverage, even during slow periods.

Tiered pricing

Volume-based rate tiers that automatically adjust per-unit cost as client throughput increases — incentivize growth.

Client-specific rates

Every client gets their own rate card. Negotiate custom pricing without affecting other accounts.

Built for 3PL billing complexity

Multi-client 3PLs

Managing 5, 10, or 50 clients with different rate structures? Each gets their own rate card, invoice history, and billing dashboard. Generate all monthly invoices in a single batch.

Batch invoice generation processes all clients in under 5 minutes.

Value-added service providers

Kitting, labeling, repackaging, quality inspection — add custom line items with per-unit pricing. Every value-added touch is captured and billed.

Custom line items ensure zero revenue leakage on specialized services.

Growing operations

Start with simple per-pallet billing. As you add clients and services, layer in handling fees, tiered pricing, and minimums — no migration needed.

Rate cards scale from 1 client to 100 without changing your billing workflow.
