LogiCAT

You know what you charge.
Do you know what it costs?

Logistics is complex, 24/7 and always moving.
Making it difficult to answer critical cost-to-serve questions:

What customers are loss makers?

Where to allocate indirect costs?

Why is a lane unprofitable?

How do you price for profit, not just volume?

LogiCAT was built to answer
those questions

In a sector of fine margins, operators who know their true cost-to-serve have a major advantage. LogiCAT makes sure you’re one of them.

LogiCAT delivers end-to-end visibility of your costs, drilled down to individual shipment, customer, product and lane level

Activity based costing

Using activity based costing (ABC) methodology LogiCAT identifies the triggers and drivers to deliver a comprehensive analysis on where and how to manage costs effectively, whether it’s transport, warehousing or fulfilment.

4 stage methodology

Its proven 4 stage methodology ensures accuracy and transparency, providing a complete cost overview with applications across your business; finance, sales, pricing and operations.

Adapts to you

From transport to warehousing, express, freight forwarding, parcels, postal, 3PL and road haulage, mid-size to enterprise, LogiCAT adapts to how your business runs.

One platform, two methodologies

LogiCAT recognises that one size does not fit all so its modular rules engine adapts to your business model, complexity and service structure.

Event driven costing: calculates costs from shipment events and data captured in operations. Ideal for logistic networks supported by full transaction events traceability. Calculates cost down to individual shipment level.

Process driven costing: calculates costs from process sampling rules and effort rates. Designed for costing based on process flows and high level allocation rules and where shipment level event tracking is limited or absent.
