Logistics
Transportation and logistics providers — 3PLs, freight forwarders, brokers, and last-mile carriers — contend with complex revenue models, multi-leg shipments, carrier settlements, fuel surcharges, accessorial billing, multi-entity consolidation, and relentless pressure on margin transparency. Spreadsheets and disconnected TMS-plus-accounting setups cannot deliver real-time profitability or audit-ready financials. NetSuite serves as the financial and operational system of record alongside specialist TMS and WMS platforms, turning fragmented operational data into clear, defensible numbers.

How Novelance Approaches NetSuite for Logistics
We position NetSuite as the financial backbone, integrated to your operational TMS and WMS. We design the revenue model around customer type — shipper-paid, consignee-paid, and brokered — and configure billing to handle base rate plus accessorial, fuel surcharges, and adjustments.
We integrate carrier settlements so driver and contractor pay flows back into AP automatically. For 3PLs, we configure billing for storage, handling, value-added services, and customer-specific contracts.
