Breakthrough Fuel Software Integrations for Your TMS
Tracking fuel prices and fuel data can prove to be a real challenge for freight carriers — but that challenge can be overcome with the right tools and software integrated with your Transportation Management System (TMS). Breakthrough Fuel software integrations for your TMS provide owner-operators and fleet managers with the ability to track real-world fuel prices and data, automate daily fuel process for fuel surcharge calculations, and pair real-time fuel data with lane benchmarking to help identify areas where you can save money.
When you integrate Breakthrough Fuel integrations with the TransPlus TMS platform, you will discover a wealth of benefits that can contribute to long-term success and profitability for your company. Find out how Breakthrough Fuel software integrations can create a competitive advantage for your freight company with this in-depth overview.
The Benefits of Breakthrough Fuel Software Modules for Freight Companies
Integrating the TransPlus Breakthrough Fuel module with your TMS provides an immediate shift from reactive fuel management to a more strategic, data-driven approach. By moving away from the DOE Weekly Index for fuel prices and adopting lane-specific pricing, freight shippers and carriers can eliminate the complications caused by geographic and timing differences. This helps ensure that fuel tax reimbursements are based on the actual price of fuel along the specific route on the day of the haul.
Beyond just cost-matching fuel prices, this software integration automates the heavy lifting of calculating fuel surcharges for both customer invoices and carrier settlements. With this integration, fleet dispatchers and accounting teams no longer need to perform manual searches or manage complex spreadsheets to estimate fuel costs. Instead, your TMS provides real-time visibility into fuel consumption and costs, allowing your team to focus on freight operations while the TMS handles the complex math behind your operational fuel costs.
Key Advantages of Integrated Breakthrough Fuel Software
Market-Based Reimbursement
This software replaces national averages with real-time, lane-level data that accounts for price, time, tax, and geo location. This ensures carriers achieve their financial goals while shippers pay only the true cost of fuel.
Automated Surcharge Calculations
Breakthrough Fuel software automatically calculates and applies fuel surcharge rates to both customer and outside carrier profiles. When freight is brokered, the system estimates and actualizes the fuel surcharge paid to the carrier instantly.
Zero-Base Rate Support
Innovative integrations allow carriers to modernize procurement by moving to a zero-base rate strategy. This separates fuel costs from linehaul rates, providing the financial transparency needed to isolate and manage real-world operating costs.
Mileage Software Synergy
Freight carriers can leverage existing mileage software — like PC*Miler or ProMiles — within the TMS to calculate precise distances and provide accurate Breakthrough Fuel rate estimates for every order and contract.
Improved Budget Certainty
By using primary shipment data, the integration provides granular reporting that helps freight carriers with forecasting and budgeting, reducing the impact of volatile fuel markets and prices on your bottom line.
