Questions, answered

Will it issue invoices or charge accounts on its own?

No. WebRun saves every per diem invoice as a draft in QuickBooks and leaves each statement email unsent. Nothing is issued, sent, or charged until your finance team reviews and approves it.

How does it work out the per diem days?

It reads each contract's per diem rate and every unit's on-hire and off-hire dates in MRI Intermodal Software, counts on-hire days within the billing month, applies any free days or tiered rates, and totals per lessee.

What if a contract has tiered rates or free days?

It applies the tiers and free days recorded on the contract in MRI Intermodal Software. If a contract has an unusual term it cannot read cleanly, it flags that lessee for a person to price manually rather than guessing.

Put this on autopilot.
