LOGISTICS & TRANSPORTATION

Know which lanes are actually making money

Planir holds cost per shipment, lane profitability and fleet cost in the same model as the group accounts, so the route that is losing money is visible in the same place as the number that says volumes are up.

What logistics finance teams are dealing with

Three patterns that show up in nearly every cross-border operator we talk to.

01

Cost per shipment is worked out after the fact

Linehaul, handling, fuel and subcontracted cost land in the ledger at different times, so the true cost of a shipment is known well after it was quoted. Rates get renewed on a margin that was never verified.

02

Fleet cost lives outside the operating view

Depreciation, maintenance and replacement capex are managed as an asset schedule while the branches are measured on operating cost. Neither view shows what a vehicle actually costs to run per kilometre.

03

Every operating country reports differently

Branches run their own books in their own currency and recharge each other for linehaul and agency work. A group number means unwinding those recharges and translating currency by hand each cycle.

What Planir does for a logistics group

Lane and branch detail and the group position in one model, across every operating country.

01

Lane and branch profitability from live data

Revenue and direct cost are held per lane, per branch and per customer, so the margin on a route is available while the rate is still live rather than at renewal. A lane that stops covering its cost shows up against the volume that made it look healthy.

02

Fleet cost in the operating model

Depreciation, maintenance, fuel and replacement capex sit alongside the operating P&L, so cost per kilometre and per shipment include the asset rather than sitting beside it. Replacement timing can be modelled against utilisation before it is committed.

Fuel and rate sensitivity as scenarios

Fuel price, currency and rate changes are drivers in the model, so the effect of a surcharge moving or a contract repricing is visible across every affected lane in one pass rather than estimated lane by lane.

Group reporting across every operating country

Branches consolidate into one governed group model with intercompany linehaul and agency charges eliminated and currency translated on the basis your auditors expect. A country can still be reported on its own for the local board.

Planir for Logistics & Transportation FAQs

Can Planir report profitability by lane and by branch?
Yes. Revenue and direct cost are held per lane, branch and customer and roll into the group view, so route margin and the group number come from the same model.
Do we need to replace our transport management system?
No. Planir sits above it and reads shipment and cost data out of it, so your TMS stays the system of record. Operations keep working where they work.
Can we include fleet cost in cost per shipment?
Yes. Depreciation, maintenance, fuel and replacement capex sit alongside the operating P&L, so cost per kilometre and per shipment include the asset rather than excluding it.
Can we model a fuel price or rate change across every lane?
Yes. Fuel, currency and rates are drivers in the model, so a surcharge movement or a contract repricing shows across every affected lane in one pass, as a scenario first.
Can Planir consolidate branches in different countries and currencies?
Yes. Branches consolidate into one group model with intercompany linehaul and agency charges eliminated and currency translated on the basis your auditors expect.
What does implementation involve?
Planir handles requirements, data setup, configuration, UAT, training and deployment with you, scoped to one priority workflow and measured in weeks. We scope the specifics for your network in the working session.
