Expenses Management in Freight and Cargo

Introduction

The freight and cargo transportation industry is an essential component of global commerce, enabling the movement of goods across borders and continents. However, managing expenses related to transportation is a daunting task, particularly when dealing with a large fleet of vehicles and drivers.

Challenges

Freight and cargo transportation companies faced several expense-related challenges, such as-

Tracking fuel expense and optimizing efficiency.
Maintenance and repair expenses that impact operational efficiency.
Driver expense is a challenge with regulations, reimbursement policies, and accurate record-keeping.
Toll and road expenses such as recording, reconciling, and allocating charges to trips or drivers.
