What is a freight invoice?

A freight invoice is a billing document issued by a carrier or logistics provider detailing the transportation costs associated with a specific shipment or group of shipments.

Freight invoices in eCommerce

In eCommerce, freight invoices are important for cost transparency, accounting, and carrier performance evaluation. They typically include weight, dimensions, origin and destination, service level, surcharges, and total freight charges. With everstox, freight invoice data can be managed and analyzed across multiple carriers through one platform – helping brands track costs, detect discrepancies, and optimize shipping strategies.

Example for a freight invoice

A beauty brand ships orders via multiple carriers. With everstox, all freight invoices are consolidated in one system. The brand compares costs by service level and region and flags any pricing anomalies for review.
