Logistics & Transportation
Business accounts for logistics and transportation companies
A carrier invoice arrives while a shipment is still in transit. The warehouse needs paying, and operations wants to know whether the money has left. Your payment records need to be as easy to follow as the job itself.
Demivolt gives freight forwarders, transport companies and logistics providers business accounts and transfer services for their operating payments. Receive customer payments, pay suppliers and keep authorised staff informed through account access that fits their roles.
Connect the payment to the shipment
A supplier name alone may not tell you which load or job a transfer covers. Keep the invoice number and shipment reference together in your records, then use a consistent payment reference. That makes it easier to answer supplier queries and check costs when several jobs involve the same carrier or warehouse.
Give finance and operations the access they need
Use role-based permissions to organise who can view or manage account activity. For overseas suppliers, agree the supported countries, currencies and payment routes in advance. Time-sensitive work is a reason to plan payment timing carefully, not to assume every transfer will arrive immediately.
Example: paying several suppliers for one freight job
A freight forwarder could receive a customer's invoice payment, then pay the carrier and warehouse against the same internal job number. Finance would retain separate supplier invoices while using the job reference to review the costs and receipts together.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Demivolt offers different payment routes, but the suitable option depends on the destination, currency and account setup. Check the expected arrival time, cut-off and any outstanding checks before promising a supplier a deadline. A payment instruction alone is not confirmation that funds have arrived.
Yes. Role-based permissions let you tailor account access to staff responsibilities. Discuss which users need visibility and which need payment-management access, rather than sharing the finance team's login.
Use the supplier's invoice reference and keep it linked to your shipment or job number. If one transfer settles several invoices, send the supplier a breakdown and retain it with your records. This makes later queries easier to resolve.
That depends on the currencies and routes available for your account. Confirm the invoice currency, destination and beneficiary account before arranging payment. Do not assume that every currency or country is supported simply because an international transfer service is available.
