How it works, step by step.

Real app screens · sample brokerage data

  1. Step 1

    The invoice goes out with the POD.

    Once you accept the POD, the invoice goes to the customer's billing email with the POD attached, or once a week on the customer's day if that's how they pay. It opens with the charges, the due date and where to pay.

    An invoice a shipper opens: $3,550.00 for load 1029 with their PO, line haul and detention, due Dec 1, where to send payment, and buttons for the invoice with paperwork, the invoice only, or the proof of delivery.
    What the shipper gets
  2. Step 2

    What customers owe, by age.

    Receivables from current to 60 days and over, days to pay, payments waiting to be applied, and each customer's past-due invoices with a statement you can email or print.

    • Reminders at 3 and 10 days past due
    • Record a payment and apply it to the invoice
    Frontier for Brokers accounts receivable: $10,400 total with $7,100 past due, 0-30, 31-60 and 60+ day buckets, 82 days to pay, unapplied cash from Acme Foods, and past-due invoices by customer.
  3. Step 3

    Carrier bills, checked against the rate con.

    Carrier invoices sent to your billing address are matched to their load. The ones that match are ready to pay, by ACH or check, to the carrier or their factor. The ones that don't are held with the difference.

    • Quick pay takes your fee off
    • A missing W-9 is flagged before year-end
    • What was paid, how and when, kept on the load
    Frontier for Brokers carrier payables: 2 bills due now for $4,345.00, one paid to the carrier's factor and one on quick pay with the fee taken off, with notes on an unsigned rate con and a missing W-9.
  4. Step 4

    Your own costs, by category.

    Payroll, insurance, rent, load boards, software. Add a cost with its receipt, set the ones that repeat, and see the month by category with your biggest cost on top.

    Frontier for Brokers expenses: $27,489 spent this month, payroll and staff the biggest cost, each category with its share, and every cost with its date, receipt and whether it repeats.
  5. Step 5

    Pay your staff, commission and all.

    A set amount each pay or by the hour, with commission on the loads that were paid. Build the drafts, check them, and pay. Year-end statements for contractors.

    Frontier for Brokers team payroll for Nov 2 to 15: Ana Ruiz at $1,500 each pay and Nate Collins at $25 an hour plus 20% of margin as commission on 9 paid loads, and a Make the drafts button.
  6. Step 6

    The profit, after everything.

    Revenue, what went to carriers, gross margin, and net profit after quick-pay fees kept, rep commissions and business costs. By customer or by rep, for any dates.

    • Delivered loads not billed yet are counted and called out
    • Loads that lost money are named
    Frontier for Brokers profit: revenue $1,006,450 on 412 loads, gross margin $147,550 at 14.7%, net profit $58,310 after quick-pay fees kept, rep commissions and business costs, and where it came from by customer.
