You can set up cost calculations that will help to calculate what each trip costs. Once a price list is configured, the cost will be shown on each order that matches the configured criteria . The default cost distribution is based on either Distance or Time, however other options can be configured.
Chargeable Weight
Loading meters
Pallet Spaces
Volume
Weight
Please contact Qargo Support if you would like to update the method of cost calculation distribution.
Based on the rate cards, the revenue will also be calculated for that same order. The difference between the revenue and these costs is the profitability that is mentioned on each order.
Navigate to Configuration
Click on Cost calculation trip in the header
Here you can configure cost calculations for your own drivers and vehicles (internal cost calculation) as well as for subcontractors. These calculations are setup the same way as the rate cards.
Set up a subcontractor price list
Click on New subcontractor price list
You can create a Subcontractor Price List that is the default for all subcontractors, or you can opt to only use it for only one or a set of subcontractors. Once the subcontractor is chosen and a name for the price list is completed, you can link the resources.
You can opt to use that price list for all resources that are linked to that subcontractor(s):
If you only want to use that price list for a set of resources, click the toggle off for "Use price list of all" and pick the resources of your choice.
Here you can select the resources that are linked to that subcontractor. This can be set in Resources (Combinations, Drivers, Vehicles).
Once selected, save the price list. Now you can add the prices to your price list. You can edit prices for these costs the same way as you did for price list for customers.
Below you watch a video where we explain how to set up subcontractor cost calculations and add a price list to these cost calculations.
