Applies to:
Shippers, Brokers, Carriers, and Partners
Solution Overview:
Compliance Agreements are designed to streamline the management of compliance violations for individual clients or as a comprehensive solution for a group of clients. These agreements facilitate the tracking of issues such as Broken Pallets and other violations, providing the Accounting team with the necessary data to make invoice deductions when required. Additionally, our system allows for the application of an Admin Fee to specific violations. You can use the provided editable default Compliance Agreement or create a custom agreement tailored to your needs.
