Stop the endless email chains
Beacon tracks every shipment across 160+ carriers and pushes the right updates to the right people: warehouse sees arrivals, customers see what’s coming, ops see what needs attention.
Stop paying invoices you can’t check
Freight invoices can contain errors, and most errors go unnoticed. Automatically check every invoice against your contracts and your shipments, so finance pays what’s right and recovers what’s owed.
Stop drowning in routine admin
Beacon reads your invoices, bills of lading and packing lists, then reconciles them against your contracts and shipments, so the routine checking and chasing gets done without you.
