How worxTMS Saves Your Transport Company Money

worxTMS starts at R199.99 per month, about R6.57 a day. Every day, a small transport company loses money in small ways: phone calls, airtime, waybill books, trips to fetch PODs, retyping invoices, wrong turns, under-quoted loads and fuel that isn't recovered. Each one is small, but together they add up fast. Here's everything in worxTMS that helps save your transport company money, and how quickly it pays for itself.

What worxTMS costs

Plan Per month Per day
Starter (3 additional members) R199.99 R6.57
Professional (unlimited members) R499.99 R16.44
No setup fees, no contract, cancel anytime, and a 30-day free trial.

Save on phone calls, paper and admin

1

Fewer phone calls and less airtime

Customers ask where their load is. You phone the driver. The driver stops to answer. Then you phone the customer back. With live tracking and a worxLIVE link, the customer checks for themselves, and you see the driver on the map without calling. That's less airtime and less of your time, and your driver keeps driving.
2

Online waybills: no waybill books

Every shipment has an online waybill. No pre-printed waybill books, no carbon copies, no handwriting that can't be read and no waybills lost in the cab. The pickup customer can even print the waybill from the worxLIVE link before the truck arrives, so the driver isn't kept waiting.
3

e-POD: no trips to fetch paperwork

The driver scans the signed POD with their phone, and worxTMS also creates an e-POD with the time, date and GPS location of delivery. No driving PODs back to the office, no couriering paperwork and no lost PODs that hold up payment.
4

One-click invoicing: no retyping

The shipment already has the customer, service and price. Click Invoice and it's created, with no retyping into a separate system and no capture mistakes. One more click emails the invoice and POD together.
5

Get paid sooner

Invoices go out on the day of delivery with the POD attached, so customers have no reason to query them. Getting paid days or weeks sooner means less money tied up and less need for overdrafts.
6

Free accounting system

worxTMS includes FrontAccounting free, a full accounting system for invoices, payments, expenses, VAT and reports. If you already use Xero or QuickBooks Online, worxTMS connects to them, so you don't pay twice or capture twice.
7

Customers help themselves

Give regular customers their own login to view their PODs, waybills and invoices, and to add shipments. That means fewer "please resend the POD" emails and fewer booking calls.
8

Everyone on one subscription

Office staff, drivers and customers all work under your company's subscription, with no extra fee per user on Professional. The Address Book saves every pickup and delivery address, so nobody retypes them.

Save on fuel and on the road

9

Fewer wrong turns

The map icon on each stop opens the exact location in Google Maps, giving the driver turn-by-turn directions to the right gate. A truck that misses an off-ramp and drives an extra 10 km can burn 3 litres of diesel, plus time and a late delivery.
10

Spot fuel problems early

Drivers log fuel in the worxAPP, and worxTMS tracks each vehicle's consumption and running average. When a vehicle suddenly uses more fuel than normal, you see it, whether it's a mechanical problem, driving habits or fuel going missing.
11

Recover your fuel surcharge

worxTMS works out your fuel surcharge from your actual fuel prices and can add it as its own line on the invoice. When diesel goes up, your rates keep up, instead of the increase coming out of your profit.
12

Built-in tracking

Tracking is part of worxTMS. Use the free driver app, an affordable in-vehicle GPS tracker, or both, and see your vehicles on the same screen as your loads.

Price every load properly

13

Rate sheets: no forgotten charges

Rate sheets work out the price from the full distance, including base to pickup and last stop back to base, plus minimum charges, charges per stop and fuel surcharge. You stop forgetting to charge for empty kilometres and extra stops, and every customer is priced the same way every time.
14

Know your profit per trip

The Fuel & Profit Dashboard shows cost per km, fuel cost and profit after fuel for each trip. You can see which loads make money and re-price, or turn down, the ones that don't.
15
Subcontracted loads stay visible, with live tracking, PODs and the subbie's invoice all on the shipment, so you're not chasing anyone. Connected companies can also pass loads to each other, and one extra load or backload pays for a long time of worxTMS.

Add it up: an example month

Here's a simple example for a small operator with 3 trucks. Every number is a round, conservative guess, so swap in your own.
Saving Example Per month
Phone calls and airtime 5 fewer 3-minute calls a day, 22 days, at R1 a minute R330
Waybill books and printing No pre-printed waybill books R100
POD runs One 20 km round trip a week to fetch PODs, at R5 a km R400
Wrong turns Two 10 km detours (3 litres each) at R20 a litre R120
Fuel surcharge recovered 0.5% more on R50,000 of invoicing R250
Empty kms charged One 30 km base-to-pickup leg a month no longer forgotten, at R8 a km R240
Admin time 5 minutes saved on each of 60 invoices = 5 hours your time
Example total Before admin time R1,440
worxTMS Starter   R199.99
In this example, worxTMS saves about 7 times what it costs, and that's before a single lost POD is avoided or an extra load comes in through worxLINK. Just one lost R5,000 POD would cover more than 2 years of worxTMS Starter on its own.
Examples are for illustration only. Actual savings depend on your vehicles, routes, fuel price, rates and customers.
