Ofload Invoicing & Payment Terms
Automated Invoicing with Ofload
How does invoicing work with Ofload?
Ofload provides automated invoicing via RCTIs: Recipient-Created Tax Invoices. Once you have submitted a valid Proof of Delivery, and our Customer Service team has verified it, we will automatically generate the RCTI for the relevant shipment and send it out to you. There’s absolutely no action required from you!
What are the benefits of Ofload automated invoicing?
Ofload's automated invoicing program saves you and your team a lot of time and effort, while ensuring faster payment too. By eliminating the need for you to create and send invoices and by generating Recipient-Created Tax Invoices (RCTIs) instantly, Ofload’s automated invoicing program prevents any potential invoicing issue or delay.
As soon as the invoice is generated it will sit in our system, ready to pay by the due date (this is on average about 5 days faster than receiving a manual invoice from our Carriers).
What should I do in case of a price difference on the RCTI?
If something arises during the shipment which impacts the amount you had agreed on with your allocator (demurrage for ex.), please contact your Ofload before submitting the Proof of Delivery. This will allow us to generate an RCTI with the correct amount.
If there is a price difference between the RCTI and the amount initially agreed on, please reach out to your Ofload allocator or our Customer Service team at
hello@ofload.com
for review. Once the matter is resolved, you will automatically receive an Issues and Claims invoice, just like an RCTI.
What if Ofload automated invoicing doesn’t work for my business?
If our Ofload automated invoicing program poses a challenge for your business, please reach out to our accounting team at
accounting@ofload.com
. We will work on finding a suitable solution together.

Are there specific requirements for payment?
Yes - Submitting all the shipment paperwork - including pallet dockets - is
mandatory
for payment. Ofload will not be able to process a payment if we have not received valid shipment paperwork in a timely manner
How do I submit my Proof of Delivery / paperwork?
The easiest way to ensure payment is made as fast as possible is to use Ofload’s Carrier App when completing work. After logging in, the app will automatically update the pick up and drop off for you and prompt you to upload photos of the POD paperwork while you are still on site - simple! Please see the app user guide
here
.
If you are unable to use the app, please you can head to our platform and update the order that way.
How do I make sure my paperwork is validated?
Some paperwork might be rejected by our Customer Service team, delaying invoicing and therefore payment as well…
To ensure your paperwork can be validated by our team, make sure the Proof of Delivery and/or other documentation is clear, easy to read, and contains: the shipper/customer’s order number (included in the booking) and a signature or stamp from the receiver.
