Pricing & Payments.
CargoLink brings pricing, invoicing, and payouts into one secure layer so that every shipment has a clear commercial story—from quote to final payment.
Instead of scattered spreadsheets, cash handovers, and informal agreements, the platform makes it easier to agree on rates, track what is owed, and pay the right people on time.
Designed for trust
Pricing & payments are built to support formal, auditable logistics—clear rates, digital records, and secure channels for moving funds.
Over time, this data can also support better access to finance for drivers, fleets, and forwarders that demonstrate consistent performance.
Who uses pricing & payments?
Any organization that cares about margins, cash flow, and accountability benefits from having pricing and payments tied directly to shipment data.
Shippers
Finance and logistics teams.
Understand landed costs per lane, verify invoices quickly, and reduce disputes over what was delivered.
Drivers & fleets
Owner-drivers and transport companies.
Get clear visibility on what is owed, when payments are expected, and how performance affects earnings.
Freight forwarders
Clearing & forwarding companies.
Manage client billing and subcontractor payments against a single source of truth.
How pricing & payments work.
CargoLink connects price, performance, and payment in a single workflow so that everyone sees the same commercial picture for every shipment.
Define rate structures and rules.
Set base rates by lane, cargo type, vehicle type, and service level. Capture surcharges such as fuel, port storage, or special handling where applicable.
Generate quotes tied to shipments.
When a shipper or forwarder creates a shipment, CargoLink uses these rules to estimate or calculate a price, which can be accepted as-is or adjusted based on negotiation.
Track execution against agreed terms.
As the shipment progresses, tracking data and events (e.g. waiting time, diversions) can be reflected against the commercial agreement where relevant.
Issue invoices and payout instructions.
Once delivery is confirmed and documents are in place, the platform can help generate invoice data and schedule payouts to drivers, fleets, or forwarders.
Move funds through secure channels.
Payments can be routed through supported methods such as bank transfers, mobile money, or future wallet features, with an auditable trail for every transaction.
What's included in pricing & payments.
Pricing & payments combine rate management, invoicing support, and payout orchestration around the same shipment data that powers matching and tracking.
Transparent pricing
Clear logic behind every rate.
Document how prices are built up, including distance, cargo type, equipment, and any surcharges, so stakeholders understand and can trust the numbers.
Configurable terms
Support different commercial models.
Adapt to contract rates, spot quotes, all-in prices, or cost-plus models depending on lane and partner needs.
Invoice support
Data for faster billing.
Use shipment, rate, and event data to populate invoice lines and reduce manual work for billing teams.
Payout orchestration
Get money to the right people.
Coordinate payouts to drivers, fleet owners, and forwarders based on agreed splits and confirmed deliveries.
Audit trail
Every change, tracked.
Keep a history of rate changes, approvals, and payouts for compliance, partner reviews, and internal audits.
Future financial services
A bridge to capital.
As data builds up, fleets and drivers can use their track record to access fuel financing, maintenance support, or other financial products from partners.
