Invoice software for logistics companies has to start from how freight actually gets priced: no two shipments cost the same, so a rate has to be quoted before it's billed, not assumed from a generic template. Send a quote covering rate and route, and once the shipment is confirmed and moving, convert it into an invoice in one click, with the same line items carrying through so nothing drifts between what was quoted and what gets billed.
An international shipment gets billed to a shipper or consignee abroad who expects to pay in their own currency, not convert your invoice themselves before approving it. Set the currency per client, and invoice in dollars, euros, or whatever the shipment is actually priced in — your dashboard still consolidates every invoice back into your home currency, so a month of shipments across several currencies still totals into one number instead of several you have to reconcile by hand.
A single shipment rarely reduces to one price — freight, fuel surcharge, handling, and documentation fees each carry their own cost and their own VAT treatment, and a single lump total hides exactly which charge is which the moment a client's accounts team starts asking questions. Set the VAT rate per line item, and every charge on the invoice totals correctly and clearly, whether it's a straightforward domestic move or an international shipment with several charge types stacked on one document.
Thai B2B shippers commonly withhold 3% at source before paying a freight invoice, and without something tracking that gap, a batch of payments landing a few percent short of what was invoiced turns into a manual reconciliation every month. Flag a shipper as subject to withholding tax, and the amount they withhold is captured on the receipt automatically the moment they pay — the certificate and any filing with the Revenue Department stay with your client and your accountant. None of this extends into fleet management, route planning, or shipment tracking — Lemon Invoice covers the commercial documents: quotes, invoices, receipts, and credit notes, each numbered automatically and exportable in one click for your accountant.
