Also covers: Logistics · Fleet · Trucking · Freight · Courier · Warehousing
About this industry
Transport businesses earn per trip and lose per idle vehicle. Profitability is a per-trip calculation involving freight earned against fuel, driver, toll and maintenance costs. Consignments must be documented and traceable, and goods movement carries e-Way Bill obligations.
Common operational problems
- Trip-level profitability is unknown because costs are pooled monthly
- Fuel consumption per vehicle is not benchmarked, hiding pilferage
- Driver advances and settlements accumulate untracked
- Consignment status queries are answered by calling the driver
- e-Way Bill compliance for every consignment is a manual chore
Example workflows
Trip creation with route, vehicle and driver
Freight billing against the consignment
Trip cost capture — fuel, toll, driver, maintenance
Driver advance and settlement per trip
e-Way Bill generation for goods movement
