Complex Billing Chaos. One Platform to Close Every Gap.

3PLs face billing chaos. You’re invoicing based on weight, pallet count, distance, storage duration, freight class, and surcharges (fuel, hazmat, accessorial). Each customer has a different rate card. Some get volume discounts at 100+ shipments/month. Some have minimum charges. You’re aggregating data from TMS, WMS, and carrier APIs — all with different formats and timestamps.

OneBill’s usage-rating engine ingests disparate data from TMS, ERP, and WMS platforms, normalizes it into consistent billable events, and automatically applies complex rate cards with volume discounts, minimum charges, and surcharges. Subscription management tracks each customer’s tier and discount eligibility in real time. High-volume transactions are computed accurately and invoiced instantly without manual data entry or spreadsheet reconciliation.

Revenue leakage in logistics is invisible until you do a full audit. A freight quote is $500 base, but you forget to apply the fuel surcharge, handling fee, and insurance. You invoice $500 when you should have invoiced $650. Multiply across 10,000 shipments/month and you’re leaving $1.5M+ on the table annually. Worse: you don’t discover it until Q4 audit, when it’s too late to recover.

OneBill’s RevAssure360 module detects discrepancies between shipping quotes and final invoices in real time. It flags missing accessorial charges (fuel surcharge, handling, hazmat), compares actual vs. quoted costs, and validates every charge against your rate card. Automated workflows quarantine suspicious transactions before invoicing and route them for manual review. Typical recovery: 3–8% of annual revenue. In a $50M 3PL operation, that’s $1.5–4M recovered annually.

Peak season (October–December) requires dynamic pricing. You want to apply a 20% surcharge from October 15–December 23. You want geo-based surcharges (West Coast ports cost 25% more during peak). You want to offer volume incentives for customers who consolidate shipments. Static rate cards can’t handle this. You need real-time rules that trigger based on date, geography, shipment attributes, and customer volume.

OneBill’s rules-based pricing engine lets you configure “if-then” logic without code. Apply 20% peak surcharge between specific dates. Apply geo-based markups to specific ZIP codes or regions. Apply volume-based discounts when customers hit thresholds. Change rates in real time without redeploying. Every invoice reflects the current market conditions and contract terms automatically.

Your customer uses FedEx for overnight, UPS for ground, YRC for LTL, and DHL for international. You’re pulling bills from four different sources, each with different formats, terms, and invoice dates. You need one unified customer invoice that shows all shipments together, but your operational view needs to maintain cost visibility and margin tracking for each carrier and mode.

OneBill integrates with multi-carrier platforms like ShipStation and TMS providers to pull tracking numbers, carrier costs, and insurance data from any shipping mode (LTL, FTL, Air, Sea) into one unified invoice. Subscription management maintains the complete shipment history with margin visibility for each mode. The customer sees one professional consolidated invoice; you see granular cost and margin data for every shipment.

Logistics brokers and freight forwarders operate through agent networks. You have 500+ agents globally, each earning different commission rates based on volume, geography, and customer tier. You need to track which agent brought in each shipment, calculate their commission, and settle monthly. Manual tracking across multiple currencies, time zones, and contract terms is impossible.

OneBill’s Channel360 module automates commission calculations and partner settlements. Each agent has their own white-labeled portal where they can track shipments and see real-time earnings. The system automatically calculates commissions based on their contract terms (percentage, tiered, or hybrid), converts currencies, and generates monthly settlement reports. Revenue assurance ensures every shipment is attributed to the correct agent and commission is calculated accurately.

Hardware manufacturers face margin compression. A device costs $300 to make and sells for $500 — one transaction, done. But you want recurring revenue: cloud storage, firmware updates, analytics dashboards, premium support. The problem: how do you bundle hardware, cloud, and services into one invoice without creating ARR forecast chaos? How do you handle ASC 606 — should hardware revenue be recognized upfront or spread over the service period?

OneBill enables this transition by bundling physical hardware with cloud-based services into one quote and contract. Subscription management tracks the entire device lifecycle — from initial provisioning through recurring service billing. Revenue recognition automatically separates upfront hardware revenue from deferred service revenue under ASC 606, keeping your financials audit-ready. You lower hardware costs, capture long-term value through monthly subscriptions, and transform COGS-heavy business model into a recurring revenue machine.

IoT devices generate millions of events daily. A smart meter sends 96 readings/day (every 15 minutes). A humidity sensor sends 1,440 readings/day (every minute). A fleet management device sends 10 GPS pings/day. Scale to 100,000 devices and you’re processing 1B+ events/month. You can’t invoice each event. You need to aggregate, rate, and consolidate them into one itemized invoice — with tiered pricing, volume discounts, and overages applied correctly.

OneBill’s mediation and rating engine ingests raw usage events from multiple sources (APIs, SFTP, message queues) in real time. The system normalizes records (converts different event formats to a common schema), deduplicates them, and applies specific pricing rules — tiered brackets, volume discounts, per-unit overages, monthly caps. Millions of microtransactions are consolidated into a single, itemized invoice with 100% accuracy and zero manual intervention.

Manual device provisioning is your bottleneck. A customer orders 1,000 devices. You manually provision SIM cards, upload device credentials, enable cloud accounts, and activate licenses — this takes 2 weeks. Meanwhile, the customer is waiting, the invoice is delayed, and revenue is deferred. You need “zero-touch” provisioning where the moment an order is placed, the entire fulfillment chain activates automatically.

OneBill’s Workflow360 module orchestrates the entire activation chain without code. When an order is confirmed, workflows automatically activate SIM cards, provision cloud accounts, enable software features, and send activation credentials. Subscription management begins tracking the device immediately. Billing starts the instant the device is active. No delays. No manual fulfillment tickets. Devices activate within minutes, not weeks.

IoT bundles create ASC 606 complexity. A customer buys a $2,000 device + 3-year cloud service + analytics license. Under ASC 606, you must identify separate performance obligations: hardware (recognized upfront), cloud service (recognized over 36 months), analytics (recognized over 36 months). Your CFO can’t manually calculate this for thousands of contracts. And every contract variation (2-year vs. 5-year, different service tiers) has different revenue recognition.

OneBill’s RevRec360 module automates this end-to-end. For each bundle, the system assigns standalone selling prices to each component (hardware, cloud, analytics) based on your pricing model. As time passes and services are delivered, the system automatically recognizes revenue on the general ledger — hardware upfront, services ratably over the contract term. Billing360 handles invoicing; RevRec360 handles accounting. You stay audit-ready and compliant with global standards without manual spreadsheets.

IoT manufacturers distribute through multiple tiers: direct sales, regional resellers, system integrators, and end-customers. Each tier has different pricing, margins, and support models. A system integrator might buy at 40% off, bundle with their own services, and resell to a customer. You need to track which tier brought each customer, apply the correct pricing, calculate multi-level commissions, and ensure regional resellers don’t undercut each other.

OneBill’s Channel360 module manages multi-tier ecosystems. Each reseller and system integrator gets a white-labeled portal with their own product catalog and pricing. CPQ360 integration ensures quotes and contracts honor tier-specific discounts automatically. The system calculates n-tier settlements — direct sales commission, reseller margin, integrator revenue share — ensuring that every partner in the value chain is paid accurately. Revenue assurance validates that pricing rules are applied correctly across all tiers.

IoT device marketplaces (like manufacturer app stores) connect hardware vendors with customers. A vendor lists a sensor, a customer orders it, the platform takes a 20% cut and pays the vendor net-60. You need to handle multiple vendor pricing, apply platform take-rate consistently, track vendor payouts across currencies and payment methods, and provide vendors with transparent earnings dashboards. Manual settlement is impossible at scale.

OneBill’s Channel360 module powers device marketplaces. Each vendor has a white-labeled portal showing real-time sales, customer details, and earnings. The billing engine automatically calculates platform take-rate (percentage or flat fee) and net vendor payout. Workflows generate monthly settlements and trigger vendor payouts to their bank accounts. Revenue assurance validates every transaction, preventing over/under-payment and fraud.

Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS) is the new operating model for industrial IoT. Instead of selling equipment, you lease it — customer pays $500/month for a sensor, you retain ownership, you maintain it. You’re tracking device location, usage, maintenance schedules, and end-of-life returns. You need to bill based on subscription tier, apply usage-based overage charges if they exceed thresholds, and handle device returns and redeployment. It’s closer to fleet management than traditional hardware sales.

OneBill handles HaaS end-to-end. Subscription management tracks device inventory, assignment to customers, and usage tracking. The billing engine charges base subscription fees + usage overages (e.g., if a sensor exceeds 1M data points/month, charge $0.0001 per extra event). Workflows manage device returns and redeploy to the next customer. Revenue recognition spreads HaaS revenue over the lease term correctly. You transform a one-time sale into predictable recurring revenue with lower churn risk.
