The challenge

Why this breaks without a TMS

When payments live outside the TMS, finance chases COD remittances and prepaid invoices without a clean link to delivery events.

The ZingTMS approach

How we solve it

ZingTMS payment gateway integration associates payment intents and remittances with shipments so ops and finance share one cash narrative.
