This guide shows how haulage & trucks businesses use TheCEOApp day to day.
Record every sale in seconds
Add what you sell once, for example services like haulage (per trip), container haulage and truck hire (per day). Suggestions for a haulage & trucks come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.
Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the customer on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.
Keep stock the way you count it
Count stock by trip, ton and truck. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the customer wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out. You can record each product's part number, so you know exactly what is on the shelf.
Track each job from start to finish
Every job moves through your own steps (typically 1 day), with the deposit, costs and profit beside it:
- Loaded
- On the way
- Offloaded
