Automate freight commission calculations
This module provides a dedicated solution for Finance teams to manage complex commission structures within the freight brokerage ecosystem. By automating the calculation of broker and rep earnings based on loaded and empty miles, the system eliminates manual spreadsheet errors and ensures timely payments. It integrates directly with load booking data to generate accurate reports that reflect current performance metrics. The tool supports tiered rates, volume bonuses, and deduction logic specific to regional carriers. Finance users gain immediate access to audit trails for every commission entry, ensuring full compliance with internal policies and external carrier agreements. This functionality streamlines the monthly settlement cycle, reducing administrative overhead and improving cash flow predictability across the organization.
The system automatically pulls load data from the booking module to determine eligible miles for commission calculation.
Users can configure custom rules for tiered rates, volume thresholds, and specific carrier deduction structures without coding.
Real-time dashboards provide Finance leaders with instant visibility into outstanding commissions and payment schedules.
