Saves costs by automatic alerts
It is one of the major problems faced by transporters . At present, many transporters have system of fixed mileage decided for the driver. If the driver saves something it goes to him and if he spends more than that it is his loss. Other transporters try to check with other means and determine the mileage based on their experience and negotiate with the drivers. Both methods have problems as first method always has some padding for the drivers and second method is more cumbersome to implement

Moreover, fuel costs are different in different states and changing frequently making it difficult to incorporate all the changes manually. An Intelligent Fuel System calculates all this effect and inputs an appropriate value while calculating TRIP expenses.
Single view on all fuel expenses and reconciliation with Fleet cards .

In case of any exception , the system raises alert so that the problem can addressed quickly
