Management dashboard for a trucking company
Profit by client, route and vehicle, delivery times and data issues on one screen.
- Custom dashboard
- Template spreadsheet
- Data checks
Context
Concept project, with a fictional company and made-up data, created to demonstrate the method. The scenario: a regional trucking company that knows its revenue but not how much each client and each route really leaves as profit.
Problem
The monthly result comes from spreadsheets put together by hand, days after the close. Clients with freight rates below cost and routes where the truck runs half empty go unnoticed.
What we did
A dashboard fed by a template spreadsheet that is checked automatically before it goes in. The cost of each trip is split across its deliveries by weight, which shows the margin by client, by route and by vehicle. Anything inconsistent becomes a correction list for the team in charge and only counts toward the result once it is fixed.
