Agreement management

an expiry.

Billing · procure to pay

Three-way matched.
Posted. Paid.

Vendor invoices are checked against the PO and contract rate, the trip and POD, and the invoice itself. Clean bills post to your ERP and are paid through your bank. Differences become debit notes automatically.

FAQ

Questions,
answered.

Can we run our annual transport tender on Elixia?

Yes. Create a private RFQ with your lanes, volumes and vehicle types, invite transporters, run sealed and reverse rounds with rank-only visibility, then award by lane with a split. Awarded rates and the agreement are created in the rate engine automatically.

Which rate formats does the rate engine support?

Per trip, distance, weight, tonne, volume, pallet, case, litre, container, hour, day and drop, with weight, distance, volume and time slabs, minimum charges and fixed plus variable formulas, for customers and vendors, by route or zone, vehicle type and validity.

How are PTL surcharges and FTL tolls handled?

PTL fuel surcharges, ODA or remote-area charges, green tax, docket and risk-cover charges are calculated from your contract formulas. FTL tolls can be billed at actuals from toll records or as contracted fixed amounts, with detention, multi-drop and diesel escalation clauses.

What does the three-way match check?

Each invoice line is compared with the PO and contract rate, the trip record and POD, and the vendor invoice. Duplicates, unapproved charges, detention beyond free time and POD shortages are held or turned into debit notes.

Does it post to our ERP and pay through our bank?

Yes. Approved bills, debit notes and accruals post to your ERP, and payment runs go to your bank through host-to-host files or bank APIs. Payment references and remittance advice come back automatically.

Can vendors and customers see their status?

They receive email and WhatsApp alerts for invoices received, approvals, debit or credit notes, payments released and dues, and can see statements through the Elixia Carrier and Partner portals.
