Margin
Margin is a billing platform built specifically for third-party logistics providers (3PLs). It connects to warehouse management systems like ShipHero to automatically generate itemized invoices from fulfillment activity, then pays those invoices the same day through a customer-funded wallet, eliminating the net-30 waiting period and reducing cash conversion from 63 days to 31 days.

Problem
Third-party logistics providers (3PLs) typically operate on net-30 or longer payment terms, leaving them waiting weeks or months for invoices to be approved and paid. This forces 3PLs to finance their own receivables, chasing late payments and managing unpredictable cash flow despite having completed the work.
Solution
Margin connects directly to warehouse management systems like ShipHero and transforms raw fulfillment activity into accurate, itemized invoices within minutes. The platform applies the 3PL's own pricing rules—pick/pack, shipping, storage, and surcharges—to every order and shipment event. Margin's wallet feature then pays the invoice the same day it is issued, drawing from the customer's pre-funded balance and eliminating the waiting period entirely. This means 3PLs receive payment on the day they bill instead of 33 days later, and receivables stay at zero. Low customer balances are flagged before billing, preventing failed or late payments downstream. The entire workflow—from warehouse activity to money in hand—happens in one continuous system.
Target Audience
Primary customers are third-party logistics providers and fulfillment operators using WMS platforms like ShipHero who need faster payment cycles and automated billing workflows.
