Convert and optimize your T&L spreadsheets

Transport and logistics companies use spreadsheets in their daily operations as well as for calculating cargo insurance rates. Here are some ways in which spreadsheets are used:

Risk Assessment

Insurance companies often assess the risks associated with insuring transportation and logistics companies. Spreadsheets can be used to gather and analyze data related to the client's operations, such as the types of vehicles, cargo, drivers, routes, and past claim history. These spreadsheets can help underwriters evaluate risks and determine appropriate premium rates.

Premium Calculation

Spreadsheets are useful for calculating insurance premiums. Insurers can use formulas and functions in spreadsheets to consider factors such as vehicle value, cargo type, location, driver experience, and loss history. By inputting relevant data, the spreadsheet can automatically calculate the premium amount, taking into account various factors and rating criteria.

Policy Management

Spreadsheets can be used to maintain records and track insurance policies for transportation and logistics companies. Each policy can have a separate sheet, containing information such as policy number, insured party, coverage details, terms, and conditions. This allows insurers to easily search and retrieve policy information when needed.

Claims Management

Spreadsheets are valuable for managing insurance claims. When a claim is filed, insurers can use spreadsheets to record and track relevant details, such as the date of loss, claimant information, incident description, adjuster notes, and settlement amounts. This helps streamline the claims process, ensuring that all necessary information is captured and easily accessible.

Loss Analysis

Spreadsheets enable insurers to perform loss analysis for transportation and logistics companies. By inputting claims data, insurers can create pivot tables, charts, and graphs to identify trends, patterns, and common causes of losses. These insights can assist in risk mitigation efforts, identifying areas where improvements can be made to reduce future losses.

Reporting and Analytics

Spreadsheets provide a flexible platform for generating reports and conducting data analysis. Insurers can summarize and present data related to premiums, claims, policy renewals, and other relevant metrics. This allows stakeholders to make informed decisions, evaluate performance, and identify areas for improvement.

Excel is perpetual, used to model everything in every industry including Transportation & Logistics. Freight, Parcel, Brokers, and 3PL companies often use spreadsheets because they offer a simple and flexible way to organize, manage, and analyze data.

By converting your business logic in Excel to reusable software assets, you're not only streamlining core revenue processes like annual/quarterly/monthly/daily bids via RFQs/RFPs or automating Sales Incentive Management tools but also:

Streamlined processes and automation

Software assets allow for the automation of repetitive tasks, workflows, and calculations, enabling transportation and logistics companies to streamline their processes. This automation can result in time savings, increased efficiency, and reduced operational costs.

Advanced Analytics and reporting

Converting business logic to software assets provides opportunities to leverage advanced analytics and reporting capabilities. Companies can generate customized reports, visualize data trends, and gain deeper insights into their operations, enabling data-driven decision-making and strategic planning.

Integration with other systems

Software assets can easily integrate with other existing systems, such as customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), or transportation management systems (TMS). This integration allows for seamless data exchange, improved workflow integration, and enhanced overall operational efficiency.

Enhanced collaboration and accessibility

Excel spreadsheets can be difficult to collaborate on and share among team members. By converting business logic to software assets, companies can leverage cloud-based platforms or web applications that enable real-time collaboration, access from multiple devices, and controlled user permissions, fostering better teamwork and accessibility.

Improved data accuracy

Manual data entry and formula errors can occur when relying on Excel spreadsheets, leading to inaccuracies and potential operational issues. By migrating business logic to software assets, companies can enforce data validation rules, automate data inputs, and mor digital application build effots, enabling resources to be allocated elsewhere.
