The full cost of every trip
Fuel, the driver's pay, maintenance, fees and fines on one trip number, against its contracted fare.
Transport, storage & logistics · trip cost and courier custody
A trip that costs more than it earns repeats every week
In transport, profit is measured by the trip, not the month. Fuel, driver, maintenance and road fees against a contracted fare — and a small difference that keeps repeating adds up to a yearly loss. Furat makes every trip and every truck its own cost unit, and ties cash collected on delivery to the courier's custody until it is banked.
Quick answer
What's the best accounting software for transport and logistics companies in Saudi Arabia?
The right transport software must give you five things: the full cost of every trip — fuel, driver and maintenance against its fare — profitability for every truck and asset, warehouses and storage sites with their own balances and documented transfers, cash on delivery tied to the courier's custody, and ZATCA-compliant invoices. Furat brings them together in Arabic; the package starts at SAR 189 a month before VAT, live in three to five days.

Why doesn't general accounting work for a transport company?
Because your assets move and their costs change every day. Fuel is paid in cash on the road, maintenance happens in a distant workshop, and loads are paid for on delivery into a courier's hand. A general system puts fuel in one line and maintenance in another, so it can't tell which truck burns twice what its twin does, or which route is losing money. The right system measures the trip and the asset.
Profit for every truck
Every vehicle is an asset with its costs, revenue and operating hours, so you know when to replace it instead of repairing it.
The courier's cash, tracked
Cash collected on delivery goes into the courier's custody and only closes with a matching deposit — no cash gap.
What Furat adds in transport, storage and logistics
Six capabilities built around running transport, freight and warehousing in the Kingdom.
A trip with its revenue and costs
A waybill or transport order with a trip number gathers all its costs and gives its margin when it closes.
A fleet with scheduled maintenance
A record for every vehicle with its operating hours, preventive maintenance, repair costs and registration dates.
Warehouses with their own balances
Every warehouse and storage site with its own balance, and transfers documented with a handover and a receipt, not a phone call.
Cash on delivery
Collected amounts are posted to the courier's custody and matched with the deposit, with a daily report of open custody.
Billing shipping customers
Rate agreements for every customer and route, and tax invoices issued from completed transport orders.
Storage billed as a service
Storage billed by space, duration or number of movements, on an automatic periodic schedule for every customer.
How does Furat protect you from losses and risks?
Five losses that keep recurring at transport companies, and where the system stops each one with a control, not personal judgement.
| Risk | How it happens in practice | The control in Furat |
|---|---|---|
| A loss-making trip that keeps repeating | No comparison between a trip's fare and its cost | A margin for every trip and route, with an alert when it falls below a limit you set |
| A shortfall in a courier's custody | Cash collected but banked late | Custody only closes with a matching deposit, with a daily open-custody report |
| Fuel spent with no link | Cash spent with no trip or vehicle number | Every fuel spend is posted to a vehicle and a trip, with its receipt |
| A truck that suddenly breaks down | Preventive maintenance never scheduled | A maintenance schedule by operating hours, with an alert before it is due |
| A stock difference in the warehouse | Transfers made with no receipt document | A transfer is only approved with a receipt signed in the system |
In transport, a fifty-riyal loss on a trip that repeats a hundred times a month means a yearly loss the size of a truck. The difference is measuring the trip, not the month.

E-signature for shipping contracts
Rate agreements and route addenda are signed from a phone with an audit trail and a timestamp.

Questions transport and logistics companies ask
How does Furat work out a trip's cost and profit?
Every trip has a number; its contracted fare is posted to it as revenue, and fuel, the driver's pay, a share of maintenance, road fees and fines as costs. When the trip closes its margin shows, and margins add up per vehicle and route — so you know which route is losing before you schedule it for another month.
How are courier custody and cash on delivery controlled?
The amount collected is posted straight to the courier's custody when the delivery closes, and the custody stays open until a bank deposit or a documented cash handover matches it. The open-custody report is read daily, so any shortfall shows the same day, not weeks later.
Does Furat manage more than one warehouse and storage site?
Yes. Every warehouse and shelf location has its own balance, and a transfer between them is only approved with a receipt signed in the system. Receiving and issuing can run by barcode with regular counts and reconciliation, so differences drop and their causes are known as they happen.
How long does it take to get Furat running at a transport company?
Three to five working days. We set up the chart of accounts and cost centres for vehicles, routes and warehouses, migrate your fleet, customers, their contract rates and your warehouse balances from Excel for free, train operations and finance remotely in Arabic, then close your first trip with you.
