Summary
A large Nigerian industrial haulage company needed to bring structure, cost control, and visibility to nationwide fleet operations spanning long-distance corridors and high-risk environments. By implementing eresource Transportation ERP, the organization gained tighter control over fuel and route expenses, improved accident and insurance management, and achieved clear profitability visibility across vehicles and routes.
About
The customer is a major industrial haulage operator in Nigeria, transporting cement, steel, petroleum products, and container cargo across the country. Managing a fleet of over 900 trucks, the company operates in challenging terrains with high maintenance intensity, security risks, and complex regulatory and insurance requirements.
Modules Implemented
The Results
Challenge for the Customer
The customer faced persistent operational and financial leakages due to manual trip logs, uncontrolled fuel usage, and poor route expense monitoring. Accident documentation was inconsistent, leading to delayed insurance claim settlements. The absence of preventive maintenance planning and profitability tracking by vehicle or route further limited management’s ability to control costs and improve operational discipline.
How eresource ERP helps
eresource Transportation ERP centralized nationwide haulage operations by digitizing trip monitoring, route-based expense benchmarking, and fuel control. The platform introduced structured accident reporting and insurance claim tracking, preventive maintenance scheduling, and tyre lifecycle monitoring. Integrated management accounting enabled real-time insights into operational performance and profitability across the fleet.
Difference between other ERPs and eresource ERP implementation
Unlike generic ERP systems that struggle with large-scale, high-risk haulage environments, eresource ERP is designed for fleet-intensive operations operating across diverse terrains and regulatory conditions. The implementation focused on practical controls such as route expense benchmarks, accident and insurance workflows, and maintenance discipline, delivering measurable results without complex customization or parallel systems.
Outcome
The organization established structured, compliant, and profitable fleet operations across Nigeria’s demanding logistics landscape. Improved cost control, faster insurance recoveries, reduced breakdowns, and clear profitability visibility strengthened operational resilience and positioned the company for sustainable, long-term growth.
