Transport & Logistics
The data is there, but it is scattered across ERP, Transport Management System, Fleet Management System, and finance. We bring it together into reliable management information that is always available.

For drivers who look ahead.
Speed is everything. In transport and logistics, speed is everything. Schedules change, margins are under pressure, and decisions often have to be made today. Yet, for many transport companies, the figures only become available late because data is scattered across TMS systems, financial software, invoice processing, and separate Excel files.
Noise on the road. The data is there. It is just scattered across TMS, on-board computers, ERP, fuel cards, and financial administration. As a result, no clear picture emerges of what is actually happening on the trip, in the planning, and in the margin.
recognizable?
Common challenges in manufacturing.
Adjusting afterwards. Monthly figures are only available late, meaning adjustments are made after the fact.
Multiple locations. Data is scattered across TMS, Exact Online, BaseCone, planning tools, and Excel.
Not up to date. Revenue, costs, margins, and invoices are not continuously visible.
A lot of manual work. Reporting requires a lot of manual effort and depends on specific individuals.
No clear definitions. Definitions of KPIs differ between finance, planning, and management.
Repetitive work. Invoicing, verification, and reporting involve many repetitive steps.
Outdated info. Decisions are made based on figures that are no longer current.
The impact: tight margins require up-to-date steering information.
Reactive adjustments. If the monthly figures arrive late, there is little room to make corrections. A deviation in costs, turnover, or invoicing only becomes visible when the period has actually already passed. This makes it difficult to switch faster, assess customers better, or adjust processes in a timely manner.
The impact. In addition, manual reporting takes up a lot of time. Every export, check, and correction seems small, but together they create a vulnerable process that slows down as soon as someone is absent or a source file is delivered too late.

Practical examples.
At Groenendaal Transport, the month-end closing took a lot of time. The source data arrived too late, which meant that the financial figures were only available late. As a result, management had little room to make timely adjustments.
We streamlined the month-end closing and built a new financial dashboard in Power BI, linked directly to Exact Online. The dashboard refreshes automatically, so that the financial figures are continuously up-to-date without manual work.
The result: Groenendaal Transport has monthly figures available 75% earlier, can make adjustments earlier and better based on up-to-date data, and works with an automatically refreshing Power BI dashboard linked to Exact Online.

Our method.
Our approach is no coincidence. It is the result of years of experience working on projects at a wide variety of organizations. We know where processes get stuck and have designed every step so that you see quick results without unnecessary detours. This is how we make efficient use of your time and ours, delivering a dashboard you can rely on from day one.
What does a Power BI dashboard cost for a transport company?
That depends on how many systems need to be linked, such as your TMS, accounting, and invoice processing, and the state of your data. Realizing a single dashboard on a clean source is faster than fully integrating operations and finance. We start small, focusing on what currently takes up the most time.
