Invoicing that Makes Sense for Logistics.
Logistics billing is complex. Demurrage, port charges, agency fees, disbursements. Tawala handles it all.
Disbursement Management
Easily separate your service fees from recoverable expenses (like port charges) for accurate tax reporting.
TRA VFD Integrated
Receipts are automatically signed and sent to TRA. No separate machine required.
Don't Just Take Our Word For It
Hear from other clearing agents upgrading their business.
Since switching to Tawala, our clearing times have dropped by 40%. The ability to see exactly where every container is without calling drivers is a game changer for our operations manager.
The automated TRA VFD receipts for every invoice save us hours daily. Previously we had to type them manually into the machine. Now it's just one click.
