3PL billing · In pilot

Invoice week in an afternoon.
Every pallet, pick, and accessorial billed.

Import a month of activity from ShipStation, Shopify, or any warehouse system. Tahona Billing prices it against each client’s rate card, flags what you forgot to bill, and sends the invoices to QuickBooks. Built for fulfillment companies with three to thirty clients.

No card. No sales call. Pilot operations run their first close free and keep preferred pricing at launch.

Small 3PLs that bill from a spreadsheet.

Three to thirty client brands, one or two buildings, a rate card per client that lives in someone’s head and a workbook. The first week of every month goes to pulling exports, counting pallets, and arguing with formulas. Tahona Billing replaces the workbook, not the warehouse system.

10 to 15 hours

a month spent on spreadsheet billing by the typical small 3PL.

3 to 15 percent

of revenue lost to unbilled storage, rate errors, and missed accessorials.

what a warehouse system charges per month to get billing bundled in.

Four steps, once a month.

The order matters. Nothing gets issued until every row of activity has a rate or a reason it was waived.

Step 1

Import activity.

Drop in the month’s export. Saved column mappings mean the second month takes thirty seconds.

Step 2

Price it.

Each client’s rate card applies: storage by the day, tiers, included picks, minimums. Effective-dated, so a mid-month rate change splits correctly.

Step 3

Clear exceptions.

Unknown client, unrated charge, odd quantity. Fix each in one click. The close will not issue with an open exception.

Step 4

Issue to QuickBooks.

PDFs with a usage appendix for every client. Invoices and customers post to QuickBooks Online. The run locks.

Works with what you already run.

Version one imports CSV exports from any system. Direct connectors follow for the systems our customers actually use. The accounting side is QuickBooks Online from day one.

  • ShipStation export
  • Shopify orders
  • Any WMS CSV
  • Pallet counts by hand
  • QuickBooks Online

Storage prorates by day because that is how you actually store things. Minimums show as a visible line because clients ask. Every invoice line traces back to the rows it came from because disputes happen.

3PL rate card calculator.

Enter one client’s rates and a month of volume. See the invoice the rate card produces, and how far off your last invoice was. Storage prorates by the day, picks include the first five units, and the minimum shows as its own line.

Run a real month in the pilot

The calculator assumes a 30-day month and no mid-month rate change. Amounts are rounded to the cent per line, the same way Tahona Billing prices an invoice.

Flat price by client count.

Never per invoice. Growth is yours. Two months free on annual. These are the launch prices; pilot operations run free and keep preferred pricing when billing turns on.

Built by someone who has run the billing.

Tahona Billing is the billing side of Tahona, our warehouse system, offered on its own for 3PLs that already have a WMS they like. The pricing engine, the close, the PDFs, and the leakage report are built and tested. What it does not have yet is a wall of customer logos, and we’d rather say that plainly than invent one.

So this is the honest offer: a small number of pilot operations, worked with directly. Your rate cards loaded for you, your first month imported with you on the call, a direct line to the people building it, and real influence over which connectors ship first.

In pilot · Taking design partners

Tell us how many clients you invoice, roughly how many orders a month, where the activity comes from, and what you bill from today. That’s enough for us to say honestly whether Tahona Billing fits yet.
