Automatic calculation of transport costs in real time – how TMS Falcon supports expense optimization

Precise and fast transport cost management is one of the key elements in building competitive advantage in logistics. The automatic calculation of transport costs in real time allows companies to reduce expenses, streamline operations, and respond faster to market changes. Modern TMS systems – such as TMS Falcon – enable full financial control over transport processes and effective transport cost optimization.

‍

Why is automatic transport cost calculation becoming standard practice?

‍

The dynamic changes in the market mean that companies must redefine their approach to transport cost management. Rising fuel prices, greater economic volatility, and growing customer expectations regarding delivery timeliness and transparency make traditional, manual calculation methods insufficient.

‍

Digitalization and automation of supply chain processes allow companies to process data quickly and make decisions based on up-to-date information. In this context, the automatic calculation of transport costs is no longer a convenience but a market standard – a foundation of efficient logistics management and a key driver of reducing operational expenses.

‍

Implementing this type of solution enables companies to translate market data into financial actions: better budget planning, minimizing operational costs, and responding to every change in real time. As a result, organizations can compete more effectively in demanding markets where both flexibility and precision in transport cost management are crucial.

How does automatic transport cost calculation work in the Falcon TMS system?

‍

TMS Falcon automatically analyzes logistics and financial data to precisely calculate transport costs in real time. The system combines dynamic price lists, cost allocation algorithms, integrations with external systems, and real-time reporting, giving companies full control over expenses and enabling faster responses to market fluctuations.

‍

Dynamic price lists and fuel indexation

‍

Dynamic price lists in TMS Falcon automatically update rates based on market changes, including fuel prices. The system supports multiple carriers and various billing models, which simplifies transport cost management and ensures constant rate accuracy.

‍

‍

Advanced cost allocation algorithms

‍

TMS Falcon uses algorithms that take into account parameters such as distance, weight, number of pallets, or number of delivery points. This enables fair and precise expense allocation between orders, customers, or routes.

‍

‍

Integration of Falcon TMS with ERP, NBP, and ECB systems

‍

The system automatically retrieves currency exchange rates and transfers financial data to the ERP. This automation reduces manual workload and minimizes the risk of errors.

‍

‍

Real-time cost monitoring and analysis

‍

TMS Falcon provides real-time visibility of costs at the level of routes, customers, cost centers (MPK), or cost accounts. Advanced reporting helps quickly detect deviations and supports transport cost optimization.

‍

Examples of data analyzed by the system:

• transport rates and fuel adjustments,
• currency exchange rates,
• shipment parameters,
• billing models (kilometer, ton, pallet, point),
• additional costs.

Process automation and transport cost optimization

‍

The automatic calculation of transport costs is not only a time-saver but above all a real enabler of transport cost optimization. TMS Falcon combines financial and logistics data in one ecosystem, ensuring that all information about routes, orders, rates, surcharges, and carrier costs is always up-to-date and available in real time.

‍

The system automates processes that previously required tedious manual work – it generates invoices, assigns costs to orders and cost centers, and verifies rate compliance with contracts. Eliminating manual calculations significantly reduces errors while accelerating settlements.

‍

As a result, companies gain financial transparency and can make faster decisions regarding route profitability or cooperation with carriers. Automation therefore becomes one of the key elements of cost-management strategies in logistics.
