For 3PLs & Fulfillment Providers
Your clients are already running RateRunners.
Brands connect their store and WMS without your involvement — because you already gave them access. The 3PLs winning right now are the ones inside the platform, not the ones being flagged from outside it.
When a brand flags a billing error, who controls the narrative? You should.
See how it works →The Difference
Every other billing tool stops at the invoice.
Most 3PL billing software connects your WMS, reconciles your carrier invoice, generates a client invoice, and pushes it to Accounting Software. The brand gets a PDF. They pay outside your system. Disputes happen over email.
RateRunners is the only platform where both sides work from the same financial record — and where the money actually moves through it.

Manual billing is costing you more than the disputes.
Rate cards in spreadsheets. Invoices built by hand. Adjustments emailed back and forth. Disputes that take two weeks to resolve. This is how most 3PLs operate today — and brands are starting to look for answers themselves.
None of it scales. Your clients know it.
How it Works. A Real Shipment. A Real Loss.
One WMS typo. $369.79 gone.
A 1.5-lb package was entered as 150 lbs in the WMS. The label shipped before anyone caught it. UPS billed $377. The brand's agreed rate? $7.21. Without RateRunners, this error goes unnoticed — buried in a carrier invoice no one checks line by line.
