How Can I Track Subcontracted Carriers and Their Payment Status?
You can track subcontracted carriers and their payment status by recording every trip done by a subcontractor with the agreed price, checking proof of delivery, approving the amount according to value limits and following the payment until it is completed in the finance system.
In Jestor, trips, carriers and payables are connected, and approved payables can be sent to the ERP.
Why do subcontractor payments cause friction?
Subcontracted carriers send invoices at different times, and trip details are kept in messages. Finance cannot easily check what was done.
Payments are delayed, disputes arise and good partners stop accepting jobs.
What problems does subcontractor tracking solve?
- Trips paid without proof of delivery
- Agreed prices not documented
- Late payments and unhappy partners
- Duplicate invoices
- No view of amounts owed per carrier
How does an approval workflow with value limits help with carrier payments?
Payables below a limit can be approved by the operations lead, while larger ones need a manager. Each approval is recorded on the payable.
This speeds up routine payments and keeps control over larger amounts.
