USE CASE · PROFITABILITY

Growing revenue while margin quietly falls

A fleet can add vehicles, win customers and increase turnover every quarter while the business gets less profitable. The reason is almost always that nobody can cost a single trip.

THE CHALLENGE

Why this keeps happening

Costs are pooled, not attributed

Fuel, driver wages, tyres, repairs and financing sit in company-level ledgers, never against the trip that consumed them.

The annual accounts arrive too late

By the time a loss-making contract appears in the year-end review it has been running for eleven months.

Empty running is invisible

The return leg costs real money and appears on no invoice, so it is rarely counted against the lane.

Pricing is set by habit

Rates get renewed at last year's number because nothing shows what the work actually costs to deliver.

HOW GOFLEEXO SOLVES IT

What changes

Cost every trip as it closes

Distance, fuel drawn, driver hours, tolls, maintenance accrual and overhead are attributed to the trip at completion.

Roll up any way the business is organised

The same records aggregate by vehicle, route, customer, depot, branch or business unit without re-keying.

Count the return leg

Round-trip calculation treats the outbound and return as one economic job, so empty running is priced in rather than ignored.

Flag persistent losers early

A lane that loses money for three consecutive weeks is escalated with a return-load suggestion attached.

THE OUTCOME

What the business gets back

Rate negotiations start from a defensible cost per kilometre instead of a guess. Loss-making lanes surface in weeks rather than at year end, and the decision to keep, reprice or drop a customer rests on the cost of serving them.
