Automated billing for storage, handling, and value-added services. White-label client portals for 24/7 self-service. Built specifically for 3PL operations.
P4 Warehouse Cloud's 3PL Billing Engine and Client Portals transform contract warehousing operations. Automatically calculate storage fees, handling charges, and value-added service costs based on client-specific rate cards. Provide clients with branded web portals for real-time inventory visibility, order creation, and billing transparency—all without custom development.
Calculate storage, handling, picking, packing, kitting, and VAS charges automatically based on client-specific rate cards. Eliminate manual billing spreadsheets and reduce billing errors to zero.
Support any billing model: per-pallet storage, per-cubic-foot, tier-based pricing, handling fees by weight or units, kitting charges, and custom VAS rates. Different rate cards per client.
Each client gets a branded web portal with your logo and colors. Clients view real-time inventory, create orders, download reports, and see billing details 24/7—reducing support calls by 70%.
Clients see their inventory levels in real-time—no waiting for daily reports. Drill down by SKU, lot number, location, or any custom field. Export data anytime.
Clients create outbound orders directly in their portal. Orders flow into your picking queue automatically with validation, inventory allocation, and shipping integration.
Clients see detailed billing breakdowns: storage by date, handling charges by order, VAS fees by service. Export invoices in PDF or CSV format. Reduce billing disputes to zero.
Set up billing rates for each client: storage fees (per pallet, per cubic foot, tiered), handling charges (per order, per line, per unit), and VAS rates (kitting, labeling, returns processing).
As warehouse activities occur (receipts, storage, picking, packing, kitting), P4 Warehouse captures billable events automatically. Storage is calculated daily, handling charges are applied per order.
At period-end (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly), the system consolidates all billable activities into client invoices. Review, adjust if needed, and export to your accounting system or send directly to clients.
Provision client portal access for each customer. They receive branded login credentials and can immediately view inventory, create orders, and see billing details in real-time.
Clients use the portal for day-to-day operations: checking inventory levels, creating outbound orders, viewing order status, downloading reports, and reviewing billing statements.
Generate PDF invoices with detailed line-item breakdowns. Email directly to clients or export to QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, or other accounting systems via API.
3PLs managing 10-100+ clients in shared or dedicated facilities use P4's billing engine to automate monthly invoicing and client portals to reduce operational overhead.
Example: East Coast 3PL manages 45 clients with complex billing (storage tiers, kitting, returns). P4 reduced billing time from 40 hours/month to 2 hours with zero errors.
Fulfillment providers offering storage + pick-pack-ship services use P4 to bill clients accurately for storage, order fulfillment, and shipping integration fees.
Example: E-commerce 3PL processes 50K orders/month for 30 D2C brands. Client portals reduced support tickets by 65% as clients self-serve inventory and order data.
3PLs offering kitting, labeling, repackaging, or quality control use P4 to track VAS operations and bill accurately based on labor time or per-unit fees.
Example: Pharmaceutical 3PL bills clients for temperature monitoring, lot segregation, and compliance documentation using P4's VAS tracking—$150K additional annual revenue.
3PLs use client portals to provide transparent, real-time billing data. Clients see exactly what they're being charged for, reducing disputes and building trust.
Example: Mid-Atlantic 3PL reduced billing disputes from 15/month to zero after implementing P4's client portal with detailed billing breakdowns.

"We were using Excel spreadsheets for billing 25 clients—it took 3 days every month and we still had errors. P4's billing engine reduced it to 2 hours with perfect accuracy. The client portals cut our support calls in half. This feature alone paid for the entire WMS."
