Port billing is complex, involving multiple services such as berth usage, pilotage, towage, cargo handling, storage, and ancillary charges. When billing is handled manually or across disconnected systems, ports face revenue leakage, billing delays, disputes, and audit challenges. Integrating port billing directly with an ERP like Odoo creates a single, reliable source of truth, automating charge calculation, invoice generation, approvals, and financial reporting while ensuring transparency for port authorities and customers.
