Pricing transparency is becoming an increasingly important consideration in Nigeria’s petroleum haulage market, as businesses look for clearer ways to determine transportation costs before committing to a movement.
One area attracting attention is the use of technology to calculate haulage costs based on the actual distance between the loading point and the delivery destination. This approach can give customers a clearer understanding of how a quoted transportation fee is determined.
Truckified Limited’s dashboard incorporates a distance-based quotation feature that calculates the kilometres between the point of loading and the point of delivery. The system then uses the distance covered to generate a corresponding haulage price quotation.
The approach provides a more structured way of presenting transportation costs, allowing users to see the relationship between the route and the quotation rather than relying solely on manually determined figures.
As technology continues to play a larger role in logistics, distance-based pricing tools could become increasingly relevant to petroleum haulage operators and businesses seeking greater clarity and consistency in transportation pricing.
