Landed weights, then the final invoice.

Apollo Negoce tracks the ETA of each bill of lading, requests the net landed weight once the cargo has landed, and sends the final invoice when it comes back.

01 · How it works

How to automate landed weight requests and final invoices in physical commodity trading

  1. 1

    ETA tracked

    Every bill of lading is followed until the cargo lands.

  2. 2

    Weight requested

    The request for the net landed weight goes out on its own.

  3. 3

    Final invoice sent

    As soon as the client sends the weight back.

No cargo forgotten after discharge. The final invoice leaves the day the weight arrives.

03 · FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why does a landed weight contract need a final invoice?

On landed weight terms, the final price depends on the net weight measured at destination. The final invoice can only be issued once that weight is known.

How does Apollo Negoce know when to request the landed weight?

It follows the ETA of each bill of lading with vessel tracking. When the cargo is discharged, the request for the net landed weight goes out automatically.

What happens if the client does not send the weight?

A reminder goes out on its own. When the weight comes back, the final invoice is issued and sent the same day.
