Do you need a separate analysis if TMS already shows profitability of the trip?

Checking whether the current view includes all significant costs, their allocation, and data completion. If it allows a reliable explanation of the deviation, then a data arrangement or development of an existing report may be sufficient.

How do you connect the revenues and costs of a trip from different systems?

TMS bookings and voyages are linked to accounting, fuel, road toll, and other cost sources. There is consensus on how total costs are assigned to voyages. The report distinguishes between actual and estimated costs, and matches amounts with accounting so that the guide sees a comparable result of the voyage.

Does the small margin shown earlier mean savings already?

It allows for a decision, but the benefit is confirmed by a specific action and its outcome: modified conditions, an additional fee reasonably presented or repeated loss avoided. A decreased work of analysis preparation is measured separately.

How do you protect yourself from the supposedly large margin of an incomplete voyage?

It shows what costs are still pending and which amounts have been assessed tentatively. The final comparison is made under a uniform completion rule, incorporating subsequent corrections.

Freight trip profitability analytics system

The guide compares the trip's revenue with transport, waiting and other costs assigned to it. See which expenses have already been approved and which are still pending.

The revenue per trip is compared to incomplete documents or total vehicle costs without marking the allocation and still pending amounts. The preliminary result is supported as final, and the reason for the rate or execution deviation is determined late.

How the solution works

The agreed price and the voyage cost assumptions used at the time are recorded.
Enforcement facts and documents are assigned to the voyage or distributed according to a harmonised rule.
The result distinguishes between actual, cumulative and not yet estimated costs.
The deviation is linked to the cause and passed on to the responsible rate or execution assessor.

Key challenges

The actual margin of travel is seen too late

Solution capabilities

The Basis of the Journey Economy

The customer's price, sub-contracting conditions and the initial estimate used for comparison are preserved.

Cost attribution

Fuel, road tolls, labor and other costs receive a voyage connection and a clear rule for the allocation of multiple orders.

Data completion

The actual document is separated from the temporary valuation; a later sum replaces the accumulation without duplicating it.

Margin deviation explanation

Customer substitution, additional work, and execution loss are analyzed for their approved cause.

Business context

The actual margin of travel is seen too late: The revenue per trip is compared to incomplete documents or total vehicle costs without marking the allocation and still pending amounts. The preliminary result is supported as final, and the reason for the rate or execution deviation is determined late.
The cost of transportation is discussed according to the real economy of the voyage: The customer's route may have additional waiting, empty ride or other costs. Their visible attribution allows for a reasonable price review and consideration of changes to the terms. The sales team may evaluate the re-order against the remaining margin, taking into account costs not yet approved.

Key integrations

Road freight management system with driver workspace: Order, voyage, price, sub-contract conditions and approved plan change.
Accounting system: Income and Cost Documents, Corrections, and Harmonized Accounting Limits.
Sources of fuel, tolls and labour costs: The attribution requires facts with the origin of transport, time and document.
Driver documents progress: Evidence of waiting and additional work and their state of approval.

Potential impact (%)

The ranges indicate an illustrative relative change in the metric under the stated assumptions. Results depend on the starting position and actual use of the solution. Percentages for different metrics must not be added together.

Work on the reconciliation of the voyage result

16–42%Decreasing

This illustrative scenario assumes that 40-70% of information searches and repeated cross-checks can be addressed. That share is assumed to fall by 40-60%. Company data is needed to verify both the addressable workload and the resulting change.

The active reconciliation time is measured for voyages of equal data volume.

Late-determined unattributed costs

12–42%Decreasing

This illustrative scenario assumes that 30-60% of errors can be addressed through the data and rule checks described. That share is assumed to fall by 40-70%. Company data is needed to verify both the addressable share and the resulting change.

The portion of unassigned amounts and the time to a reasonable attribution are assessed.

Conditional calculation scenarios. The assumptions have not been validated against client measurements.

When this solution is relevant

The margin of the voyage changes upon receipt of a late document, but the missing amount was not seen in the previous report.
Fuel and labour costs are distributed differently, making it difficult to make meaningful comparisons.

Implementation requirements

For voyage analysis, finance determines the attribution of revenue, direct and common costs, and adjustment periods. Open journeys are separated from completed ones, and available reporting instruments are assessed against the ability to explain allocation rules and documents subsequently obtained.
