Logistics expense management for businesses in Singapore
Singapore's logistics sector operates in a fast-paced, high-cost environment where expense control directly impacts competitiveness. From fuel and vehicle maintenance to driver allowances and warehouse operations, managing costs across multiple categories becomes overwhelming with traditional methods.
Manual tracking creates visibility gaps that prevent you from identifying cost-saving opportunities until margins erode. Volopay's logistics expense management platform unifies all operational and employee expenses into one intelligent system.
Whether you're managing local deliveries, regional freight, or warehouse operations, you gain real-time visibility and centralized control over every dollar spent across your logistics operation.
One dashboard for fleet and operating expenses
Singapore logistics companies juggle expenses across vehicles, warehouses, drivers, and vendors with costs scattered across multiple systems.
Volopay's logistics expense management software consolidates all expenses, including fuel, maintenance, driver allowances, and facility costs in one real-time dashboard. Set category-specific budgets, track spending by vehicle or location, and receive instant alerts when thresholds are breached.
This expense management for logistics companies transforms fragmented data into actionable insights, helping you identify over expenditure and make informed decisions that protect your margins.
Track fuel expenses and optimize fuel usage
Despite Singapore's compact size, fuel remains a significant operational cost requiring careful monitoring. Volopay's logistics spend management software captures every fuel transaction automatically with digital receipts and GST details.
Issue fuel cards with preset limits, restrict purchases to authorized stations, and flag unusual transactions instantly. Categorize all spending by vehicle and driver, enabling precise consumption analysis. Identify inefficient vehicles, optimize route planning, and use accurate data to negotiate better rates with fuel suppliers.
Manage vehicle repair & maintenance expenses
Maintaining commercial vehicles in Singapore's demanding urban environment generates constant servicing and repair costs. Volopay's trucking expense management centralizes all maintenance expenses with vehicle-specific virtual cards and spending limits.
Every transaction captures GST invoices automatically, building comprehensive service histories per vehicle. Track repair patterns, manage warranty periods, and ensure LTA compliance requirements are met.
Control driver expenses & reimbursements easily
Drivers incur various expenses during operations, such as parking, tolls, meals, and occasional repairs that require quick reimbursement. Volopay's mobile app lets drivers photograph receipts with GST details for instant submission.
Issue corporate cards with daily limits to eliminate cash advances while maintaining spending control. The fleet expense management system checks policy compliance automatically, routes approvals efficiently, and processes reimbursements rapidly, reducing administrative work while improving driver satisfaction through faster payments.
Automate toll payments and permit tracking
Managing ERP charges, road tax, parking fees, and commercial vehicle permits creates administrative overhead despite Singapore's efficient systems. Volopay centralizes these costs with dedicated virtual cards for automated payments and comprehensive tracking.
