Workflows ## Five Workflows for Transport Fleets Use this list to test any platform with your own examples. **Transport Fleets: workflows an ERP should support** | Workflow | What it covers | Question to ask a vendor | | Trip and job planning | Assign vehicles and drivers to trips | How does the system handle trip and job planning for our business? | | Maintenance | Schedule servicing and inspections | How does the system handle maintenance for our business? | | Fuel and costs | Capture fuel, tolls and repairs | How does the system handle fuel and costs for our business? | | Driver management | Track licences, hours and expenses | How does the system handle driver management for our business? | | Billing and profitability | Bill customers and see margin per trip | How does the system handle billing and profitability for our business? | Context ## What Sits Behind the Workflows Data objects involved: Vehicles and documents, Drivers, Trips and jobs, Maintenance records.

Discover | Workshops and process mapping with the people who do the work. We record what happens today, where it breaks and what must not change. | | 2. Scope and propose | A written scope with modules, integrations, data to migrate, roles, assumptions and a phased plan, so cost and effort are visible before you commit. | | 3. Configure and build | Set-up, workflows, approvals, reports and integrations built in a test environment and reviewed with your team in short cycles. | | 4. Test and train | Scenario testing with your own data, role-based training and a go-live checklist agreed with the business owner. | | 5. Go live and support | Cut-over planning, hyper-care after launch and an ongoing support arrangement for changes, users and reports. | Cost ## What Drives the Cost A realistic budget covers more than licences. These are the components we scope with you. **Cost components of an ERP or CRM project** | Cost component | What drives it | How to keep it in check | | Licences or subscription | Number and type of users, applications or editions, and contract term | Match user types to real roles; start with the modules you need now | | Implementation and configuration | Number of processes, approvals, reports and companies or branches | Fix scope in phases; reuse standard workflows before customising | | Data migration | Volume and quality of customers, items, accounts and open balances | Clean data before loading; agree what history is truly needed | | Integrations | Number of systems, API quality and real-time versus batch needs | Integrate the few that remove manual work first | | Customisation | How far your process differs from the standard product | Challenge each change request; keep upgrades in mind | | Training and change management | Users, roles and languages, plus the time your team can give | Train by role; appoint internal champions | | Support and hosting | Service levels, hosting model, backups and who owns upgrades | Choose support hours that match trading hours | We do not publish fixed prices because cost depends on scope.
