Shipper Billing
Getting invoices out fast and right is where cash flow starts. ClearLane handles shipper billing for freight brokers, 3PLs, and trucking companies, building clean invoices the moment a load is ready so payment is not waiting on your billing desk.

DSO Reduction
Reporting
An invoice that goes out late, or goes out wrong, sits in a shipper AP queue or bounces back for correction. Missing PO numbers, wrong accessorials, or absent paperwork are the usual culprits. Every correction cycle adds days before you see the money.
When billing is a bottleneck, even profitable loads tie up cash longer than they should. Getting the invoice out same day and right the first time is what keeps cash moving.
We map your billing workflow, customer requirements, and where invoices get held up today.
We connect to your existing TMS and accounting system. No migration, no new platform to learn.
Your dedicated team builds and submits invoices daily, attaches the right backup, and works any billing exceptions before they become disputes.
Volume grows without adding headcount to your billing desk. The desk just keeps pace.
Invoices that go out same day and land right the first time get paid sooner. Fewer corrections mean fewer disputes and less time chasing AP. Clean billing is the front end of a healthy DSO, money you earned showing up when it should instead of weeks later.
Once shipper invoices go out, the transactions flow into your accounting system. Add outsourced bookkeeping so every invoice is recorded and reconciled.
We work inside the platforms you already run, with no migration and no new software to learn.

Our goal is to invoice the same day a load is ready to bill, once the POD and paperwork are in. The sooner a clean invoice reaches the shipper, the sooner the payment clock starts and the lower your DSO stays. We work billing daily rather than in end-of-week batches.
Usually a missing PO number, a wrong or missing accessorial, or absent backup like the POD. Shippers route those to a correction queue, which adds days. Building the invoice right the first time, with the references and documents each customer requires, prevents most of it.
Yes. ClearLane builds and submits invoices inside the systems you already use, including McLeod, TMW, Aljex, and others. There is no migration and no new platform for your team to learn.
Yes. Many shippers have specific billing portals, reference formats, and backup requirements. We build to each customer rules so invoices are accepted on the first pass rather than kicked back for rework.
Yes. Bookkeeping is a standalone add-on delivered by a separate dedicated team inside QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, or Sage. As shipper invoices are issued, it keeps those transactions recorded and reconciled.
Cut DSO and collect faster with a managed AR desk that works every open invoice.

Most clients begin with POD chasing or invoice verification, then grow into full back-office management.
