Native 3PL Billing Suite
All the billing methods you expect. The flexibility to support the ones your customers invent.
Warehouse in a Box connects warehouse execution directly to storage, activity, accessorial, handling, value-added service, and customer-specific billing logic — helping 3PLs capture revenue accurately without spreadsheet reconstruction, manual workarounds, or missed activity.
Built from the Economics of Warehousing
3PL billing is not generic invoicing. It is the financial model of the warehouse.
Systems Logic designed and built the Warehouse in a Box billing suite after our team completed the IWLA Economics of Warehousing course in the early 2000s. That foundation helped us understand not only how 3PLs bill, but why different billing methods matter to profitability, customer contracts, operational behavior, and margin control.
Warehouse in a Box was built to support the billing methods 3PLs actually use, including the methods commonly promoted by other leading WMS providers.
But we go further. If a customer has a billing method that cannot be self-configured, and the billing logic can be clearly explained, Systems Logic will create and install that billing method at no additional cost.
Built for the Way 3PLs Bill
Different customers rarely bill the same way.
One customer may bill by pallet position. Another may bill by cubic volume. Another may bill by activity, handling unit, value-added service, storage period, order type, or customer-specific contract rule.
Warehouse in a Box supports complex, customer-specific billing requirements inside the same native multi-client platform.
Billing capabilities include:
Storage Billing
Activity-Based Billing
Inbound Handling
Outbound Fulfillment
Value-Added Services
Returns & Reverse Logistics
Accessorial Charges
Customer Contract Billing
Customer-Specific Rates
Multi-Level Unit Billing
Flexible Billing Schedules
Custom Billing Logic
If You Can Explain the Math, We Can Help Make It Bill
Warehouse billing evolves as customer requirements evolve.
That is why Warehouse in a Box is not limited to a fixed menu of billing methods. If your team can define the calculation, rule, trigger, rate structure, or contract logic, Systems Logic can help convert it into a working billing method.
For supported customers, billing method creation and installation are included at no additional cost.
That means you are not forced into:
- Manual spreadsheet billing
- Vendor development queues
- Paid custom billing projects
- Workarounds outside the WMS
- Lost revenue because the system cannot match the contract
Your billing system should adapt to the way you sell warehouse services.
Capture Every Revenue Opportunity
Warehouse in a Box supports the same core 3PL billing methods competitors promote, but our billing suite was designed from the economics of warehousing and backed by a commitment to help clients create new billing methods when the logic can be clearly defined.
