Terminal Billing: Where Accuracy Meets Agility

Where Accuracy Meets Agility

Invoicing at a terminal isn’t just math — it’s mission-critical!

Billing is often seen as a back-office task. But in reality, it’s one of the most sensitive — and strategic — aspects of terminal operations.

When billing is delayed, inconsistent, or disconnected from real events, the consequences ripple across the business: lost revenue, damaged trust, longer cash cycles, and frustrated customers.

The symptoms of billing gone wrong

We’ve seen it firsthand across terminals and freight hubs:

  • Teams spending too much time reconciling mismatched service logs and invoices
  • Limited visibility into actual earned revenue
  • Manual billing spread across disconnected systems
  • Delays in issuing invoices — and even longer delays in receiving payments
  • No flexible way to model changes in contracts or pricing logic
  • Gaps between what happens on the ground and what shows up in the books

When billing isn’t embedded into operations, it becomes a bottleneck — not a business driver.

Introducing Solvo.Billing: real-time billing for real-world terminals

Solvo.Billing is a modular billing engine designed specifically for ports, terminals, and logistics facilities. It’s not just an invoicing tool — it’s a financial control system, tightly connected to your cargo flow and service lifecycle.

What Solvo.Billing delivers:

  • Automatic calculation of charges. For any service, event, or cargo type — containers, bulk, Ro-Ro, general cargo, vehicles, railcars, etc.
  • Flexible pricing logic. Supports per-service rates, bundled services, multi-payer contracts, quotas, service-level pricing, and exception handling.
  • Pre-billing and forecasting. See costs before services are rendered, and model the impact of pricing or contract changes.
  • Audit-ready traceability. Every billable event is logged, with clear supporting documentation, reconciliation files, and customizable reports.
  • Seamless system integration. Connects with Solvo.TOS, ERP systems, accounting platforms, and payment portals.

Closing the loop between operations and finance

The most powerful aspect of Solvo.Billing is how it integrates with Solvo.TOS.

Every move, scan, or service event becomes a transparent, traceable, billable item — in real time.

No need for manual hand-offs, retyping, or tracking down missing data. Billing becomes a natural extension of operations, not an afterthought.

Deploy standalone or fully integrated — your choice

Solvo.Billing can be rolled out:

  • As a standalone billing system for ports and logistics facilities seeking immediate improvements
  • Or as a fully integrated financial module for existing Solvo.TOS deployments

Either way, the system adapts to your contract structure, service catalog, business rules, and local financial requirements.

Make billing your advantage — not your pain point

If you’re dealing with slow invoicing, unclear revenues, or rigid legacy tools, it’s time to rethink your billing stack.

Solvo.Billing helps you gain financial clarity, reduce friction, and turn billing into a strategic asset — one that’s fast, flexible, and built for terminal logic.
