In today’s transportation landscape, flexibility is a tremendous competitive advantage. Shippers and Brokers are under constant pressure to move faster, control costs, and adapt their operating models as market conditions change. One of the most powerful (and often overlooked) ways to unlock that flexibility is through the ability to support multiple “Bill To” accounts within a TMS.
G2Mint’s TMS was designed with this reality in mind, giving brokers and their shipper clients the freedom to determine how freight is executed, billed and managed, without forcing either party into a rigid operating model.
What Are Multiple “Bill To” Accounts?
At its core, multiple bill to accounts allow a shipper to execute freight using:
- Their own carrier agreements
- The broker’s negotiated carrier agreements
- Or a combination of both
Within the same TMS.
Rather than choosing a single, predefined model, brokers and shippers can define the parameters of their engagement lane by lane, mode by mode, or even shipment by shipment. The result is a system that adapts to the relationship, not the other way around.
Why This Matters
Supporting multiple Bill To accounts unlocks strategic benefits that fundamentally change how brokers and shippers collaborate. These include:
- Giving Shippers Control Without Sacrificing Support
- Expanding the Broker’s Role Beyond Capacity
- A Smarter Path to Managed Services
- Supporting Hybrid Operating Models
- A TMS That Adapts to the Relationship
The benefits listed above will be explored in detail in upcoming blogs in this series.
What’s Next in This Series
In the next post, we’ll dive deeper into how multiple Bill To accounts give shippers control without sacrificing support and why that flexibility drives adoption, trust, and long-term value in broker-shipper relationships.
Because in today’s market, the strongest broker–shipper relationships aren’t defined by rigid models, they’re defined by choice.
