Freight Billing and Accounting FAQ

What is freight billing software?

Freight billing software handles the invoicing and financial work that is specific to freight: invoices generated from shipment data rather than typed, profit and loss tracked per job, agent settlements with overseas partners, and multi currency in and out. The distinction that matters is shipment based rather than invoice based accounting. Every charge stays tied to the shipment that created it, so the charge you quoted and the charge you invoiced can be compared on one record instead of two. One multi regional forwarder cut batch invoice updates from 3 to 4 hours down to 15 minutes.

GoFreight has freight accounting built in, so many forwarders never connect a separate system. Invoices, payments, agent settlements and multi currency billing run inside GoFreight, and every charge stays tied to the shipment that created it, so you can see profit and loss per job. If you use QuickBooks Online, the native connector pushes invoices from GoFreight, and payments can sync too, with the direction set per connection. Xero, Sage, NetSuite, SAP and Oracle connect through GoFreight's open REST API as a custom integration. QuickBooks Desktop and Enterprise are not supported.

Yes. GoFreight shows profit and loss on every job: revenue, costs, and margin visible at the shipment level. You can see which lanes, customers, and services are most profitable.

GoFreight tracks amounts owed to and from your overseas partners at the shipment level. You can run settlement reports to see net positions, generate settlement statements, and record payments when settlements clear.

Yes. Incoming customer payments apply to outstanding invoices, including one payment across several invoices and partial payments against one. On the payable side, GoNEXUS AI Hub reads incoming carrier and vendor bills and drafts the AP invoice on the matching shipment. If a draft already exists, for example one created from your quotation's cost lines, it highlights every charge line where the billed amount differs so your team can accept or reject each change before posting.

GoFreight handles multi currency transactions end to end. Invoice customers in their preferred currency, receive payments in another, track costs in carrier currencies, and automatically manage exchange rate conversions and gains or losses for reporting.

Freight settlement software manages the financial flows in freight forwarding: customer receivables, agent settlements with overseas partners, and vendor payables to carriers and truckers. It provides visibility into what is owed in every direction.

Yes. GoFreight provides full AR and AP management: customer invoicing and payment tracking on the receivable side, vendor and carrier bill management on the payable side, with aging reports on both sides, plus credit limits and collections tracking on receivables.
