Thanks to the management software for transport companies we can easily and intuitively control both income and expenses in the company. One of the main items that management software works with is fuel consumption control, being able to store data and thus avoiding errors. But let's see what has been, and still is on many occasions, the way used in companies in the passenger and merchandise transport sector.
The most traditional way within the transport company is based on the fact that a person from the operations department is in charge of the manual control of this type of expenses using an excel document where consumption was specified compared to the kilometers traveled. This has been the most widely used technique for a long time, but it should be noted that it is the most inaccurate since there are many factors that affect fuel consumption. These factors can be controlled and taken into account: type of driving, speed, the calibration of service stations, the terrain on which you drive or the weight of the load transported.
Today There are products on the market that rely on technology and that accurately control fuel consumption to carry out more exhaustive control of the parameters that directly or indirectly affect consumption. The data obtained can be connected with the data from the management software to have a comprehensive control of expenses in the transport company.
