Freight Rates & Reporting

Bill Freight the Way Freight Actually Gets Billed

Air and sea cargo aren't priced the same way, and a spreadsheet rate card rarely gets both right. Beba's rating module, part of the Beba logistics tracking system, applies the real billing rule for each freight mode automatically, then rolls every shipment up into reports that show what the business actually made.

What's Included

01 Air Freight: Actual vs. Volumetric Weight

Air cargo is billed on whichever is greater - actual weight or volumetric weight - the same chargeable-weight rule air carriers use.

02 Sea Freight: Per Cubic Metre

Sea cargo is billed per cubic metre, matching how sea freight is actually quoted and invoiced.

03 Configurable Rate Cards

Rates per route and per freight mode, set centrally instead of worked out by hand for every quote.

04 Multi-Currency Support

Quote and invoice in more than one currency, with exchange rates configured centrally and kept current.

05 Expense Tracking with Approval

Operational expenses are logged with receipts and go through an approval workflow before they're counted against a shipment.

06 Revenue, Margin & Cost-to-Handle Reports

See what was billed, what it cost to handle, and the margin in between - by shipment, by route, or across the business.

Reports Built In

  • Operations reports, showing shipment volumes and status across any date range
  • Revenue reports, by route, client or freight mode
  • Margin reports, comparing what was billed against what it actually cost to move
  • Expense reports, with every entry tracked back to an approval and a receipt
  • Cost-to-handle reports, measuring spend against the work actually done
