Logistics & Supply Chain
In logistics the revenue is agreed at the start and the margin is decided afterwards, by demurrage, detention, deadheading and the documents that arrive late. Operators who can see a job’s true cost while it is still running are working from different information to those who find out at invoicing.
The situation
What we usually find
For transporters, clearing and forwarding agents and third-party logistics operators working the regional corridors.
A single consignment generates more documents than any other transaction in ordinary commerce, and each one is a point at which a cost can attach without anyone recording it. Storage that ran two days over. A container returned late. A trip repositioned empty because nothing was booked back. The rate was fixed weeks ago; every one of these events comes out of the margin, and most are captured after the invoice has gone out.
Regional operations are digitising fast and on a fixed timetable. Since 1 July 2026 transit goods licences and customs-controlled vehicle licences are issued through the Regional Electronic Cargo Tracking System integrated with iCMS; manually issued licences stay valid only to 31 December 2026. Cargo moves under electronic seals, through smart gates with number-plate recognition, tracked in real time across the Northern Corridor.
That is a considerable amount of accurate operational data being generated about your business by somebody else’s system. Operators whose own records cannot be reconciled to it are at a disadvantage in every dispute they enter.
How the work flows
Where the pressure points are
Every business in this sector runs a version of this cycle. These are the points where it strains when the systems behind it do not join up — and where the value of joining them up shows first.
-
Quote
Rates set from an average cost per trip rather than the cost of this trip on this lane
-
Move
Trip events recorded in drivers’ messages, tracking systems and nobody’s ledger
-
Clear
Customs and corridor documents handled outside the system that has to invoice from them
-
Invoice
Accessorial charges discovered after billing, then written off rather than argued
-
Settle
Job profitability known weeks late, by which time the next job is priced the same way
What you would run
The products behind it
Not every product, and never one we cannot justify for your operation. These are the ones that fit this sector, and the reason each one is here.
WizERP
Job-level costing with purchasing, finance and fixed assets on one ledger, so third-party charges attach to the consignment that incurred them rather than to a monthly overhead pool.
TeamKazi
Where the work is project-shaped — a relocation, a contract haulage programme, a warehouse commissioning — TeamKazi carries a live cost-to-date against the agreed value while it is still running.
Sage 200
Strong multi-currency purchasing and settlement for operators paying counterparties across several jurisdictions in several currencies.
What we would bring
The work around the software
The products are only half of it. These are the practices an engagement in this sector actually draws on, and what each one does here.
AI & Intelligent Automation
Document-heavy is exactly where intelligent capture pays. Bills of lading, delivery notes and third-party invoices extracted and matched instead of keyed in one at a time.
Process & Operational Excellence
Establishing where every cost is meant to attach to a job, and closing the points where costs currently arrive after the invoice.
Data, Analytics & Business Intelligence
Profitability by lane, by customer and by vehicle, so pricing is set from what the work actually costs on that route.
ERP & Business Systems
Integration between operational systems, corridor platforms and the ledger — so your record and the tracked record agree.
Where we'd start
The first move
We would take twenty completed jobs and rebuild the true margin on each, including every charge that attached after invoicing. The distribution of that result is usually the whole argument: it is rarely a uniform squeeze, and the lanes losing money are rarely the ones anyone suspected.
Where we are not the answer
We are not a transport management or fleet telematics vendor. We do not supply tracking hardware, and we do not replace RECTS, iCMS or your existing TMS — those are systems of record you integrate with, not systems you choose. Our work is the costing, documentation and settlement layer that sits between them and your accounts.
Is this how your operation runs?
Tell us where it strains, and we will tell you plainly which of this is relevant to you and which of it is not — before you commit to anything.
