Know what’s making money—and what’s not.
Profit Engine brings real-time, per-load profitability into every workflow in Vektor. Automatically.
No spreadsheets. No guesswork. Just one clear number: Estimated Net.

Why it matters

Margins are tight. But with Vektor, your operation can now:

• See true profit per load—before or after it moves

• Track margin across trucks, dispatchers, and customers

• Act on what pays and cut what doesn’t

What’s new

Estimated Net (per load):
The headline number—updates live as stops, routes, fuel, driver pay, and rates change

Fuel & Tolls (auto):
Calculated from the most efficient truck route—no manual math

Driver Pay:
Auto-applies based on revenue type (percent, CPM, day rate, etc.)

Per-Mile & % Expenses:
Your default cost template translates monthly spend (e.g., maintenance, insurance, office) into accurate $/mi or % costs per load

Example: If maintenance averages $10,000/month and fleet mileage is 50,000 mi/week → monthly miles ≈ 50,000 × 52 weeks / 12 months = 216,667 monthly mile average.
Per‑mile maintenance ≈ $10,000 / 216,667 ≈ $0.046/mi. Repeat for office expenses, insurance, tires, etc.

How Profit Engine Works

1. Calculates fuel and tolls using the most efficient truck route.

2. Applies your driver pay rules—percent, CPM, or day rate—against load revenue

3. Your mapped expense items to get true $/mi or percentage costs, then roll everything up into Estimated Net—refreshed live as details change.

Dynamic by design: Any change (rate con, stop edits, route tweaks, driver assignment, new $/mi inputs) reflows straight into the profit line.

Where to view profit

Estimated Net isn’t just a one-off number—it’s available across the platform to help you spot trends and act fast:

• Orders Page: See load-by-load profit in context with dispatch

• Truck Schedule: View total profit grouped by truck or dispatcher

• Database Page: Analyze profit by truck, dispatcher, or customer with full filtering and export options

• Rate Per Mile Report: Includes Net along with other data you need to get reports on—so you can compare real performance along with other detailed reporting.

Every view ties back to the same live logic—no manual syncs or exports needed.
