Project Overview — Fully integrated trucking accounting software

A US based trucking company was using an existing trucking management and accounting software that doesn’t have all the required features. They were looking for a comprehensive trucking accounting solution that could sync with their trucking management solution and could be easily integrated with other trucking software tools that they are using.

A cloud based trucking solution was the need of the hour, that would essentially have an extensive list of trucking accounting features with payroll integration, expense management, track profit and loss by load, LTL planning and billing, and IFTA tracking and reporting.

Trucking companies have specialized needs when it comes to accounting. Not only do they need to manage their books, equipment depreciation, but they also have to keep track of inventory, heavy machinery and extensive travel for their drivers. Therefore, aside from standard accounting features like general ledger, accounts payable and accounts receivable, these accounting systems will have freight, per-mile and other transportation-specific pricing, and will support driver and vehicle tracking, reservations and dispatch and mobile solutions to facilitate driver-dispatcher communication.

Solving trucking accounting issues with an end to end cloud-based accounting system

For trucking companies, one of the major challenges are the unpaid receivables. It’s very difficult to track every single expense related to dispatch of loads and mounting driver expenses. And it becomes imperative for trucking companies to manage every aspect of their expenses with a proper visualisation dashboard and accurate reporting. The portal we developed, has an excellent expense management system that can track all office and driver expenses.

Business problems

  • Cash flow Management.

    Trucking companies need to maintain a proper record of all accounts receivable and payable. Thus its imperative to maintain a flawless collection process to ensure clients receive invoices on time ensuring a timely collection of payments from outstanding invoices with supporting documentation, and payments are received within payments terms. The client was struggling to sync between trucking management solution and accounting solution which was making it difficult for them to manage their cash flow.

  • Profit Management.

    Trucking industry is challenged by a higher than average rate of turnover which can be costly, so taking the time to ensure you have solid employee performance management processes in place can really impact the bottom line.

  • Dispatch and Tracking.

    84 percent of customers are unlikely to return to a brand after only one poor delivery experience. Hence, proper dispatch and tracking record maintenance is important.

  • Manual Documentation.

    Maintaining paper documents is difficult and leads to errors.

Business Benefits and ROI gained

  • Transformation from manual documentation to complete digital bookkeeping.
  • One cloud-based software solution for all their trucking accounting needs.
  • One tap load tracking, trip reports , flawless income and expense management reports.
  • Happy employees with accurate reimbursement and timely payments.
  • Increase in revenue with timely payments of accounts receivable from customers.
  • Mobile Application for both the admin and users of the platform to use it on the go.
