Q&A

What does the Transport App do?

The Transport App gives transport companies insight into trips, routes, customers, vehicles, drivers, costs and profitability. The App helps show which transport activities are profitable and where margin is lost. Think of empty kilometers, waiting times, fuel costs, underused capacity, inefficient routes or customers with low profitability.

Which companies is the Transport App suitable for?

The Transport App is suitable for transport companies, logistics service providers, distribution companies and organizations with their own transport activities. The App is especially relevant when you have many trips, vehicles, drivers, customers, transport types or routes, and when it is difficult to see the true profitability of each activity.

What insights do you get with the Transport App?

You get insight into revenue, costs, margin, trips, kilometers, customers, drivers, vehicles, routes, fuel consumption, waiting times, load factor and performance by transport type. Depending on the available data, you can analyze by customer, trip, route, driver, truck, trailer, region, file or period.

Can the Transport App show which customers are profitable?

Yes. A customer with high transport volume is not automatically profitable. By combining revenue and costs per customer, you can see which customers generate margin and which customers create a lot of costs or inefficiency. This can help with pricing agreements, contract negotiations and commercial priorities.

Can the App help reduce empty kilometers?

Yes. When kilometer data and trip information are available, the App can help make empty kilometers and inefficient trips visible. This gives you better insight into routes, planning, loading and transport flows. It makes it easier to look for improvements in planning and trip combinations.

Can the Transport App monitor fuel costs?

Yes. If fuel data is available, the App can help analyze fuel costs by vehicle, driver, route, customer, period or transport type. Fuel is often a major cost item in transport. Better insights help detect deviations faster and better understand cost development.

Which KPIs can you track in the Transport App?

Examples include revenue per trip, margin per trip, margin per customer, cost per kilometer, revenue per kilometer, empty kilometers, load factor, fuel consumption, waiting time, number of trips, kilometers driven, vehicle utilization and driver performance. KPIs related to planning, delivery reliability or transport type may also be relevant, depending on the available data.

Can the Transport App help with pricing?

Yes. By gaining insight into actual costs and margin by customer, trip, region or transport type, you can better substantiate pricing. The App helps prevent rates from remaining based on assumptions while costs, waiting times or complexity have changed.

Which data sources are needed for the Transport App?

Typical data sources include TMS, ERP, accounting, onboard computers, track-and-trace systems, fuel cards, planning tools, invoicing data and Excel files. Which sources are needed depends on the questions you want to answer and how transport data is currently recorded.

Which decisions can you make better with the Transport App?

You can make better decisions about which customers are profitable, which routes need improvement, where costs are rising, which trips are loss-making and which pricing agreements should be reviewed. The App helps transport companies manage not only volume, but especially profitability.

Profitable transport.
