Marketplace Enhancements
Marketplace Accounting Features
- Buyer Accounting Profiles can be viewed in the Seller's dashboard by clicking on the wallet icon
- The following items can be set:
- Credit Limit
- Credit Status
- Invoice Due Date (Terms)
- The following items can be set:
- Buyer Statements are visible within the Marketplace Seller Dashboard. This can be sent via email or downloaded to PDF. To access the statement, click on the statement icon. This opens the document and will allow you to print, download or send via Email.
A Payment Gateway (Authorize.net, CardConnect, Global Payments) can be added by clicking on the Payment Methods. This gives the Seller the ability to instantly collect on shipments that occur in the Marketplace. - On the Collections Summary page, the Seller can identify a Marketplace Buyer indicated by the Marketplace icon. With the Invoice Due Date set, the terms are applied and tracked based on the value set in the Buyer Accounting Profile.
UI Enhancements
- A new Alert is being added to the shipment detail page that will indicate that the shipment is a Marketplace shipment.
- On the Shipment Search page, you can now filter by Marketplace shipments
Marketplace Seller Controls
On the Marketplace Buyer List (Seller View), the Seller Controlled status for the Buyer is color-coded for easier visibility.
- Requested: Blue
- Approved: Green
- Declined: Orange
- On Hold: Red
The shipment count column indicates how many shipments have been booked by the Buyer in the last 90 days. This is helpful with spotting trends with buyers and can help improve the relationship between Buyer and Seller.
Marketplace Tariff Management
Tariffs can be managed in the Marketplace using familiar controls used when managing tariffs at the LSP Broker level. Add and remove from the Marketplace as needed. Included in the Tariff Management view is the ability to manage the tariff margins that apply to the Marketplace. Simply click on the Margin Amount and adjust as needed. When using this feature along with the Marketplace Activity Report allows the Seller to fine-tune the margins to maximize availability & profitability.
Team Collaboration
The new Team function is a collaboration tool that exists within TMS to assist with the use of Group Email and shared tasks among different operational teams in your organization. You probably have "teams" for Sales, Accounting, Customer Service, Operations, and more and we want you to be able to work effectively within those teams.
How does Team Collaboration Work?
All LSP staff members created in the TMS will now have a Staff Type. They are either an Individual or a Team. A Staff that is labeled as a Team isn't used as a daily login for any one person but instead serves as a group or Team that other Individual staff can subscribe to or belong to. By selecting a Team in your LSP Staff Profile you can both view all assignments that are created for that Team as well as use the Team's Email Address when sending Emails from the TMS. This makes it easy to share work among team members and utilize a shared mailbox like accounting, sales, or customerservice@yourorganization.com.
