Does Ship Watchers utilize the same bank for freight payment and day to day operations?
No. All client freight payment funds are drawn from a separate bank account funded by the client. We understand the magnitude of revenue and liability that comes with a freight payment service. All payments made to carriers must be authorized by the client after an in-depth audit has been competed insuring an accurate invoice. We are happy to have you pay the carrier directly, cut a check drawn from your own bank account, or set up a mutual escrow account for carrier payment. We want you to be comfortable with our freight payment services.
Can Ship Watchers freight payment service interface with our current ERP system?
Yes. We have the capability of conforming to any accounting system you currently use. Many clients use SAP, PeopleSoft, Oracle, JD Edwards, and others.

Reports can be set up to be sent automatically based on any given event trigger or modified around different departments and personnel for accountability reporting.

Yes. We are able to audit, process, and pay all freight invoices whether internationally or domestic. We are set up to pay in any international currency required if the carrier does not accept USD.
