Data and automation for logistics: reports per customer, cost per kilometre and the operation in plain sight
I spent several years inside a logistics operation with a presence in Spain, Europe and Morocco: internal applications, dashboards and the reports customers expect every week. I know what data a carrier has, where it gets stuck and what the people running the operation want to see.
- Weekly reports per customer generated and sent on their own
- Cost per kilometre, per route and per vehicle in a self-updating dashboard
- Fuel surcharge and rate revisions calculated from official sources

Does any of this sound familiar?
These are the situations people call me about. If you recognise one, there are hours to be won back.
Every customer’s weekly report is assembled by hand
Export from the TMS or ERP, filter by customer, paste into their template, check, send. Multiplied by the number of customers, every Monday.
The fuel surcharge is revised late or by eye
The revision clause depends on official indices that change every week. If nobody updates it in time, margin leaks away unnoticed until month end.
Nobody sees the cost per kilometre in time
Fuel, tolls, driver and vehicle live in different systems. Profitability per route or per customer is worked out at the close, when it can no longer be corrected.
Delivery notes, CMRs and invoices someone types in
Documents that arrive as PDFs, by email or on paper and are keyed into the system by hand, with the errors and delays that brings.
What you get
No slide decks: concrete deliverables your team uses from day one.
Automated reports per customer or branch
Activity, kilometres, cost per km and deliveries, in the format each customer expects, generated and sent on their own with configurable week windows.
Operations dashboard
On-time deliveries, kilometres, utilisation, costs and profitability per route, customer and vehicle, self-updating and built for whoever runs the operation.
Automatic fuel surcharge
The index is taken from official sources, the revision is calculated according to the contract formula and proposed for approval. No rate changes without someone seeing it.
Documents that process themselves
Reading of delivery notes, CMRs and supplier invoices and their validated upload into the system, with no typing.
Lightweight internal applications
Custom cloud tools (serverless on AWS) for operations tracking, lookups or calculations that currently live in a shared spreadsheet. No servers to manage.
Training and handover
Documentation, a session with the team and 30 days of support. When the project ends, the operation maintains it without depending on me.
A real case
The pattern repeats in almost every project: the process stays the same, it just stops being done by hand.
Reports per customer and a monitored operation with no servers to manage
Before
Weekly reports per customer assembled by hand from system exports, and an operation across three countries with no shared view of activity and costs.
After
Serverless internal applications on AWS, operational dashboards and automated reports per customer (activity, kilometres, cost per km) exported to Excel ready to send, with configurable rolling week windows.

Calculator
What does your customers’ weekly report cost today?
Think of the report someone builds every week for each customer from the TMS or ERP. Move the sliders and see what it costs per year. No sign-up.
1 = monthly · 4 = weekly · 20 = every working day
Include checking, fixing and sending. It is usually more than it seems.
Cost to the company, not net salary. An admin role is around €18–25; a manager, €40–60.
