Finance · Margin calculation

More than a margin. The data that explains it.

What remains on a delivery? The answer depends on revenue, allocated costs and available information. Logis shows the result alongside its breakdown and gaps, without hiding estimates.

From message to margin

What Logis does today

Logis calculates delivery margins using revenue, allocated direct costs and any configured indirect-cost allowance. Reporting distinguishes complete, partial and estimated results, identifies missing inputs and opens the cost-category breakdown.

01

Each delivery’s revenue and costs

The financial detail brings together revenue and allocated costs. Own-fleet work also needs fuel, tolls, staff and vehicle costs; subcontracted transport checks the assigned carrier’s cost.

02

Estimates stay identifiable

Estimated cost entries remain labelled. Configure a percentage of revenue to represent indirect costs; when applied, the result is marked as estimated rather than a complete actual-cost result.

03

Missing data is visible, not replaced with zero

When required inputs are missing, Logis explains why and does not present the margin as calculable. Filter the report by period, data quality, calculability and own-fleet or subcontracted execution.

04

The formula, with an illustrative example

Margin = revenue − direct costs − included indirect allocation. With €1,000 revenue and €750 total allocated costs, the margin is €250, or 25% of revenue. This is a calculation example, not a customer result or company net profit.

Frequently asked questions

At what level is the margin calculated?

Per delivery. Read revenue, direct costs, indirect allocation, margin in euros and percentage, plus cost-category detail. Reporting also shows period totals while distinguishing deliveries whose margins are actually calculable.

Which costs are included?

Entries allocated to the delivery, including those from approved supplier invoice allocations. Calculation separates direct costs from configured indirect allocations. Own-fleet work checks the necessary operational categories; subcontracting checks the assigned carrier’s cost. The detail shows what was included.

What happens when revenue or costs are missing?

A delivery is marked partial and not calculable when required inputs are missing. Logis identifies what needs completing, such as revenue, fuel, tolls, staff, vehicle or carrier costs. Missing costs are not silently converted to zero to show a higher margin.

Can I include indirect costs and estimates?

Yes. Configure an indirect allocation as a percentage of revenue and use estimated cost entries. In either case, the report marks the result as estimated, distinguishing a provisional view from a result based on complete data.

How is the margin percentage calculated?

Divide the margin amount by revenue and multiply by 100, with non-zero revenue. The result depends on included costs and does not automatically equal net profit: taxes and other entries not allocated to the delivery do not enter the calculation by themselves.
