The Warehouse-Billing Problem

You spend 3 days building invoices from memory at month end

Billing shouldn’t be an archaeology project. When invoices are reconstructed by hand, they’re late, they’re incomplete, and they’re impossible to defend.

The Pain

Manual billing leaks time and money

Rebuilding a month from memory

Every month-end you reconstruct storage, handling, and receiving charges by hand from notes, emails, and recollection. It takes days.

Disputes you can't win

A client questions a line item and you have no timestamp, no photo, no proof — so you write it off just to keep the peace.

Charges that quietly slip through

Accessorials, extra handling, and storage overages go unbilled because nobody logged them in the moment. That's pure margin, gone.

The Cost

3 days

of every month lost to invoicing

Missed

charges never make it onto the bill

Written off

disputes you can’t prove

The Solution

Auto-billing + a receiving agent

Lumen’s receiving agent logs every inbound, handling, and storage event with a timestamp and photo proof — then auto-builds the invoice from those real events. Month-end becomes a click, and every line is defensible. It’s built into Lumen 3PL and connects to Lumen Freight.

Before

3 days of manual invoicing
Charges reconstructed from memory
Disputes settled without proof
Accessorials silently unbilled

After

Invoices built automatically
Every charge tied to a real event
Photo + timestamp proof on record
Nothing slips through the cracks

Make month-end a click, not a marathon

Start free and bill from real events, not memory.
