No. An invoice represents a period of time. Currently this is pre-defined to a week. As you agree routes they will fill up an invoice. A route is associated to an invoice based on its collection date but only added to the invoice when delivery is confirmed. When all the routes are confirmed as delivered and agreed the the invoice will close. You will then be instructed to add an invoice. If a Route is agreed to be added after this invoice is rasied and approved then a new invoice will need to be raised.

What is CONNECT?

From collection to invoice, CONNECT is your all in one application to get work smarter. It is simply a carrier portal that provides consolidated information from all the 3T accounts a carrier works for in one place. It brings together plan confirmation, POD upload and cost management and invoicing. CONNECT is a web based application and can be accessed from: www.3t-event.com Everything in one place.

How does it work?

CONNECT works as a process flow from accepting a job through to invoicing the job. At each step in the journey of the Route the CONNECT assistant will tell you what needs to be done. From 'you need to accept the Route and choose a collection time' to 'you have an invoice to upload'. As you complete each action the next one becomes available. For example, you cannot action a Route cost until you have confirmed delivery.

What will I see?

CONNECT is a very visual tool. There is a section to show the Route summary, the actions required for each Route and the Dashboard widgets that tell you the status of each main action. See the tutorial below these questions for a more detailed tour.... The CONNECT screen will only show LIVE Routes. These are defined as: 'Any Route that has been offered to you and not actioned through to on an invoice that has yet to be approved by the Customer'. If you reject a Route offer we will remove immediately. When an invoice you have uploaded gets approved we will immediately remove all associated Routes from the CONNECT view, so you only ever see Routes that mean something to you.

How do I get access to CONNECT

When you start to work for an Account, the Account admin will invite you to join. The guide below explains what will happen.
