How do you bill storage fees per pallet in a 3PL warehouse?

To bill storage fees per pallet in a 3PL warehouse, record each client's pallets in and out, calculate daily or weekly pallet counts, apply the client's rate table for storage and handling, prepare monthly statements, and send billing data to the ERP.

In Jestor, clients, pallets, and rates are connected, so every service is billed correctly.

Why do 3PL providers underbill?

Storage charges depend on how many pallets stay each day. Handling fees depend on movements.

Spreadsheets miss movements, clients dispute statements, and the warehouse loses revenue.
