Petty Cash Management for Transportation & Logistics
Manage fuel costs, driver advances, vehicle maintenance, and route expenses with real-time tracking.
The Challenge
Transportation companies deal with cash constantly: driver advances for fuel and meals, emergency repairs on the road, toll payments, and route-specific expenses. Drivers carry cash and submit receipts days or weeks later. Without proper tracking, advances go unreconciled, fuel costs can't be compared per vehicle, and the company has no visibility into route profitability until it is too late to act.
How PettyCash Helps
Driver advances: Log advances with driver name, route, and expected deduction date. Reconcile automatically.
Fuel tracking: Tag every fuel purchase to a vehicle for per-vehicle cost comparison and efficiency analysis.
Route profitability: Tag expenses to specific routes to see which routes are profitable and which are losing money.
Multi-depot support: Each depot has its own fund with consolidated reporting across all locations.
Case Study Example
A logistics company with 12 trucks and 2 depots was giving drivers cash advances with no proper reconciliation. Fuel costs were recorded as a single lump sum with no per-vehicle breakdown. After implementing PettyCash, every advance is reconciled within 48 hours, fuel costs are tracked per vehicle (revealing 2 trucks with 25% higher fuel consumption), and route profitability reports showed 3 routes that were actually losing money. The company saved 22,000 SAR per month by optimizing routes and addressing the fuel-inefficient trucks.
