Being able to raise your invoices all through one system is an important part of running an efficient business. We have a number of combination invoice formats and layouts which can be tailored to each client. Courier Navigator also holds a powerful service charge function to enable you to bill services not necessarily courier related such as storage or the forwarding of duties and taxes. Our service charging can raise up invoices automatically or schedule the charge to be invoiced on the next invoice run.

All invoices can be transferred on to booking keeping systems such as Sage.

Courier Navigator will produce your credit notes, these automatically link to the original invoice the consignment was raised on and the credit note can be sent to Sage through our download file.

You can set up your suppliers rates on to Courier Navigator, this is a part of the configuration we highly recommend when setting up your system. The benefit of setting up your supplier rates is to save yourself time passing your invoices for payment. Electronically upload your supplier invoices and let Courier Navigator pass the invoice on your behalf.

A demonstration of this aspect of the system is recommended.

Working out your sales team monthly commissions can be a long drawn out task, checking up what each client has spent against the commission structure you have set against each of your sales member of staff.

Courier Navigator allows you to set up your sales team on the system and implement their commission structure on their accounts. This allows you to raise up commission statements each months for you to ultimately calculate their bonuses.

Couriers often work with self-employed drivers; each courier has a method of paying the sub-contractor for the work undertaken. Courier Navigator can be configured to pay drivers based on days worked, jobs completed, miles driven, and percentage of job charge. If you also charge for hire of equipment, Courier Navigator will tie together the driver invoice and driver statement, then net the value of the invoice from the value of the statement providing your total pay figure for the driver.

Sage Downloads
Download your invoices, credit notes and new customer records from Courier Navigator in to your Sage Line 50 system. Currently we only download in to Sage but we do welcome the prospect integrating with other accountancy systems other than Sage.

Factoring
We have integrated the HSBC factoring service in to Navigator. If you utilise this banking service, then we are able to provide HSBC with the data they require after you run your invoices through the system.
