Get the visibility a growing operation needs 

As routes and costs multiply, it gets harder to see which work makes money – and finance often only spots the problem once the books close. Volatile fuel prices and late-paying customers only add to the pressure. Datel combines Sage technology with industry expertise to bring your financial and operational data into one live view, so you can catch an unprofitable route, a cash squeeze, or a rising cost while there's still time to respond. 

Turn fleet activity into financial insight 

The right technology from the right partner changes how your business runs. With Datel you can turn raw fleet activity into clear financial insight, so finance and operations work from the same numbers and make more impactful decisions every day. 

Selecting the right technology is one thing, being prepared for it is another.

Take our online assessment to understand how prepared your organisation is to get maximum value from its next technology investment - and receive practical recommendations on where you can strengthen your digital readiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to implement accounting software for a transport company?

 Ultimately, this depends on your solution and your operations. An experienced partner, like Datel, can get Sage 200 up and running in a matter of weeks, and a standard Sage Intacct solution in as little as eight weeks. Sage X3 can be live in as little as four months. 

Can accounting software track costs and profitability per vehicle, route, and customer?

Yes. Sage solutions let you track costs and revenue against the relevant job, route, vehicle, or customer, giving you a clearer view of profitability. With it, finance and operations can price work more accurately, judge which contracts are worth keeping, and run the operation more efficiently.

Does Sage’s accounting software for transport companies integrate with TMS and telematics systems?

It does. Sage integrates with transport management, telematics, and fuel systems, connecting operational and financial data to give you a clearer view across the business. Datel helps you bring these systems together, so you can get more value from the data across your operation.

What should a transport company look for when choosing an accounting software partner?

The best partners understand more than how transport businesses manage cost, cash, and compliance today. They take time to understand where you want to take the business, and make sure your technology keeps supporting you as you get there. Datel gives honest advice on the right solution now, then stays alongside you to keep it working as your needs change. 

How does IFRS 16 affect transport companies with leased fleets?

 IFRS 16 requires most leases to appear on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability. Sage helps you track and report lease data from live figures, though your auditor or accountant should confirm how the rules apply to your business
