Before & After an Advanced Journey Management System
Why It’s a Game-Changer for Logistics Operations
Real Use Case: How Bovas Improved Visibility and Cut Delays
Ready to Take Control?
Reliability, visibility, and speed are not just operational perks; they’re survival requirements. For haulage companies, one of the most overlooked but critical areas of improvement is journey management.
If your business still relies on phone calls, WhatsApp updates, emails, and spreadsheets to manage trucks and deliveries, you’re flying blind, and it’s costing you more than you think.
The True Cost of Poor Journey Management
When we speak to transport managers, fleet supervisors, and logistics coordinators, we hear the same frustrations:
We can’t tell which trucks are delayed and why.
Drivers go off-route, and we find out hours later.
We lose goods in transit, and no one can explain how.
We track fuel manually, but consumption doesn’t add up.
We don’t know the exact turnaround time; it’s guesswork.
In Nigeria alone, the logistics and transport sector loses billions annually due to delivery delays, fraud, theft in transit, and vehicle downtime, all tied to poor visibility and a lack of structured journey control systems.
Common Issues and Their Impact
Issue
Impact
Route deviation
Increased fuel costs, delivery delays
Lost or damaged goods
Customer distrust, revenue loss
Manual trip tracking
Inaccurate data, billing errors
No TAT monitoring
Poor planning, resource wastage
Reactive operations
Lost time, operational chaos
What is Journey Management?
Journey management is a structured, digital approach to planning, monitoring, and controlling fleet trips in real-time.
Instead of reactive updates, you get:
Defined trip standards (expected routes, turnaround times, fuel benchmarks)
Live tracking with automated updates using geofencing and AI
Event alerts for route deviations, speeding, idling, and unauthorized stops
Instant visibility into pickup and drop-off times without calling drivers
Reports and analytics on trip performance, losses, and delivery efficiency
It’s about turning chaos into clarity and giving transport & journey managers, supervisors, and executives a control tower view of operations.
