Financial IQ

Ahern, in conjunction with a software company, has developed a program that tracks customer profitability based upon your company's actual profit and loss statements. It is 100% accurate. It is a program that tracks individual lanes, customers, rates, fuel surcharge, and operating ratio per load. We have 3 programs available;

For freight brokers, it is very difficult for brokers to determine their bottom line net profits for each of their customers. They normally have to rely on utilizing gross margins to determine how much money they need from their customers, and how much money they can afford to pay their carriers. Ahern's program is tied directly into the individual customers' profit and loss statements and therefore it will calculate the revenue that the broker needs from each customer to achieve the desired profit.

In reference to truckload carriers, the program can analyze revenue per mile, revenue per load, per customer, operating ratio per load, per customer, per dispatch, per lane, and fuel surcharge revenue per mile, per load, per customer lane. Again, it's tied directly to your profit and loss statements and it will tell you exactly what you need to do to:

In reference to less than truckload, it's very difficult for carriers to determine their actual cost because they have drops, picks, weights, cross docking and line hauls. Ahern's program will allow an LTL Carrier to analyze base rate revenue's per hundred weights, per shipment and per segment. Fuel surcharge revenue's per hundred weight, per shipment, and per segment, and it computes cost and productivity separately for pick up routes, delivery routes, stops, cross docks, and line hauls.

We will be happy to provide you with a "live demonstration".
