Postmate Solutions | Courier Billing & Reconciliation

There are two types of courier agents: those who've been overcharged by carriers, and those who don't know they have been. Carriers are really good at two things: delivering packages and charging you more than they should. Postmate automatically reconciles vendor shipping records against your booked packages to catch volumetric weight deviations and protect your margins before you pay the bill.

Questions & Answers

How does volumetric weight auditing prevent margin leakage?

Volumetric weight is where your lightweight box gets charged like it's full of gold bars. Carriers love this trick. Postmate compares the origin package scans against the carrier's final invoice automatically. When we find discrepancies, you can present the data to the carrier and claim back the difference, saving an average of 5% to 15% on monthly invoices.

Can Postmate handle complex Indian GST compliance splits?

Yes. Postmate automatically splits CGST, SGST, and IGST calculations based on customer billing location, shipping origin, and destination airport codes. It generates GSTR-ready billing data with one click. Because your accountant deserves nice things too.

How do customer credit locks prevent bad debts?

You can set custom credit thresholds for each client. If a client has exceeded their credit limit, Postmate locks the booking system automatically, refusing new carrier dispatches until their outstanding balance ledger is cleared. No more chasing payments after the parcel is already on a flight.

Do we have to manually check every line item on the invoice?

No. You simply upload the carrier's excel or CSV invoice. Postmate does the matching in seconds, highlighting duplicates, incorrect surcharges, and weight deviations.
