Frequently asked questions
How can a logistics company see profit per trip or shipment?
Tag every revenue and cost line to a job or trip, including freight paid to transporters, fuel, tolls, driver advances and handling. We design the job structure and tagging rules, then report lane and customer margins in Zoho Analytics.
How do we bill faster after delivery?
Make proof of delivery the trigger for invoicing, with a defined handoff from operations to billing. We design that handoff so invoices go out within a set time of delivery instead of waiting for month-end.
How should driver advances be controlled?
Issue advances against a trip, settle them against receipts within a fixed time, and block new advances while old ones are open. Zoho Expense can manage advances and settlements with approvals.
