Flexible Fuel Surcharge Management: By Service or Customer – Choose What Suits You Best

Navichain now offers enhanced control over fuel surcharges within the platform. Users can flexibly configure fuel surcharges in two distinct ways:

  • By Service:
    • Define specific fuel surcharge values for each individual service offered within the Navichain system.
    • This approach provides maximum flexibility, allowing for tailored pricing based on the unique fuel consumption characteristics of different services (e.g., long-haul vs. short-haul, heavy cargo vs. light cargo).
    • Fuel surcharge values are directly associated with the service definition, ensuring accurate and consistent application across all orders related to that specific service.
  • By Customer:
    • Establish unique fuel surcharge rates for individual customers or customer groups.
    • This option is ideal for customers with specific fuel surcharge agreements or those requiring customized pricing arrangements.
    • Fuel surcharge values are linked to the customer profile, overriding any service-level surcharges for that particular customer.

Key Features:

  • Intuitive Configuration: The user interface seamlessly integrates fuel surcharge configuration within both service creation/editing and customer management sections.
  • Clear Visual Cues: The system clearly indicates which method of fuel surcharge calculation is currently active for each service and customer.
  • Easy Switching: Users can easily switch between “By Service” and “By Customer” calculation methods as needed.

Benefits:
