Control company information, costing assumptions, integrations, users, security and cloud services from one place.
Reusable costing assumptions by vehicle type. Route Costing uses these figures automatically, and each calculated job can retain them as its planned-cost baseline for profit-and-loss reporting.
Set the fixed customer price for each one-way route-mileage band. These prices are saved against the selected vehicle parameter profile above.
Example: a calculated route of 145 miles uses the fixed price entered for the 141–150 mile band. Markup and applicable job charges are added afterwards. Please Note: These mileages are one way. The prefilled rates are for a round trip calculated at £2.10 per mile and can be changed manually if you desire.
Set the fixed amount payable to a subcontractor for each calculated route-mileage band. This supplier tariff is separate from customer selling prices.
Planner uses this table when a job is allocated to a subcontractor and Subcontractor Mileage Bands is selected. The suggested job rate remains editable.
