Milestone-based settlement for global logistics and freight forwarding

Netaro is built for freight forwarders, 3PLs, NVOCCs, and shipper finance teams whose settlement is gated by milestones — BOL issuance, arrival, POD, customs release. We convert those events into deterministic multi-party payouts across carriers, forwarders, and last-mile operators, 24/7.

Overview

How milestone events become multi-party settlement

Every leg of a global shipment produces a settlement obligation, but the trigger sits inside an operational system — a TMS, a forwarder platform, a carrier portal — not the bank. Netaro turns those milestone events into structured payout instructions: one shipment record, several counterparties, one auditable payout batch. Finance keeps oversight; ops stops manually kicking off wires when a container clears.

The friction

The AP and settlement friction operators live with

  1. 01
    Milestone-triggered payments handled manually

    Ops teams still email finance to release funds when a BOL is issued or a container arrives — no programmatic bridge.

  2. 02
    Multi-party invoices across a single shipment

    Forwarder, carrier, terminal, and last-mile fees arrive as separate obligations against the same shipment record.

  3. 03
    Weekend and holiday cutoffs stall cargo

    Correspondent banking is closed exactly when global freight is moving fastest.

  4. 04
    Working capital trapped mid-transit

    Days of settlement float compound across every leg, tying up cash that could be paying the next leg.

Operating layer

Four connected layers, one operating surface

Document ingest feeds reconciliation, treasury and FX, and financial-compliance screening — with settlement as the final action, not a separate vendor.

Questions

Frequently asked

Direct answers to what treasury and AP leaders ask before onboarding.

Can Netaro release payouts on a shipping milestone or BOL event?
Yes. Netaro accepts milestone events (departure, arrival, BOL issuance, POD) via webhooks and can gate payouts on verified events instead of manual approvals.
How does Netaro handle multi-party invoicing between forwarder, carrier, and last-mile?
Netaro treats each leg as its own settlement obligation, reconciles the combined invoice against the shipment record, and executes per-party payouts once financial-compliance checks clear.
Which logistics corridors are live today?
USD, USDC, USDT, AED, and PHP are live. Additional corridors, including EUR, SGD, INR, and HKD, are on the roadmap and can be requested when there is operator demand.
Do we still need our existing bank for logistics payments?
You can keep your existing banking relationships. Netaro layers on top for cross-border settlement and can co-exist with your primary operating accounts and existing carriers-of-record.
How does Netaro reduce working capital trapped in transit?
Because settlement completes in under an hour 24/7, funds don't sit in correspondent-bank holding for days. Forwarders and carriers get paid faster, reducing the working-capital float you owe upstream.
