Managing transport costs manually is time-consuming, error-prone and difficult to scale. FreshPortal's new Transport Tiered Pricing module changes that by automating the calculation and billing of transport costs, based on configurable tiered pricing structures per carrier, region and customer.
How It Works
The module allows businesses to define transport tiers based on the number of load carriers, such as trolleys or pallets, and link these directly to customers, locations and carriers. During invoicing, the system automatically selects the correct tier and applies the corresponding cost, without any manual intervention.
For customers with specific pricing agreements, overrides can be configured per location or carrier. This ensures that even complex pricing arrangements are handled consistently and automatically.
Built for Floriculture Operations
Transport cost structures in the floriculture trade are rarely straightforward. Rates vary by carrier, region, volume and customer agreement. The Transport Tiered Pricing module is designed to accommodate this complexity without creating administrative overhead. Diesel surcharges, VAT rates and cost groups are all supported within the same configuration, and calculations are stored directly at invoice level.
Full Control, Minimal Effort
Once configured, the module runs in the background. Costs are calculated automatically with each invoice, and values can be manually fixed where needed. Recalculations continue until an invoice is finalised, giving teams the flexibility to make corrections without losing consistency.
Businesses with multiple carriers or regional pricing agreements benefit most. A single central configuration replaces a fragmented mix of manual calculations, spreadsheets and price agreements stored outside the system.
The Result
The Transport Tiered Pricing module saves time, reduces errors and gives businesses better control over transport margins. Pricing becomes transparent and consistent for customers, while internal teams spend less time on manual cost allocation and more time on trade.
For floriculture businesses looking to bring structure and automation to their transport billing, this module is a practical and scalable solution.
