Averitt Express has added online invoices to its suite of tools. The new feature provides 24/7 access to all open invoices and the ability to search by invoice date, pickup date, delivery date, PRO number, bill of lading number, or PO number.


The new feature also includes electronic invoice and/or supporting documentation requests. Specific invoice and supporting documentation can be delivered as a single PDF file via e-mail. The system is automatically and regularly updated to keep invoices current.

The company's list of online services includes detailed shipment tracking, LTL and volume/truckload rate quotes, shipment reporting, pickup scheduling and electronic bill of lading creation.

"More and more of our customers prefer electronic methods of doing business, so this is a natural progression for Averitt," said Phil Pierce, Averitt's executive vice president of sales and marketing. "Our online invoices will save shippers time and allow them to bill their customers quicker since they will receive their invoices quicker."

In addition to its new online invoices tool, Averitt says it is currently developing an e-mail invoicing service that will allow its customers to opt out of receiving paper invoices. The company expects to make that service available within the next few months.
