| aberon BILLING |
The charge calculation and service billing system, aberon BILLING, is a sub-system of aberon WMS that automatically calculates charges, based on agreed contractual terms. The aberon BILLING system is flexible and can impress the contracts' pricing terms so that charges are calculated via an automated procedure. The main categories of charges are: a) Labour costs b) Storage costs c) Services Labour costs regard the works of receiving, the incomings and picking the clients' orders. Storage costs regard the rent for the time that merchandises are kept in the warehouse, while services regard other services provided or charges. Other charges may include: insurance costs, issue of vouchers, re-packing etc. The system calculates charges based on particular scenarios of the client or the item related to the initial storage and movement, the repeated storage charges, the additional charges and transportation costs. Irrespective of the billing requirements agreed with each client, e.g. quantity, weight, volume or any other measurement unit, the aberon BILLING system may manage many different scenarios. The aberon BILLING system has been designed in order to have the same flexibility as the remaining aberon WMS system, so that 3PL has the capacity to determine how detailed the billing of the clients or the items in the warehouse will be. |
