Business Management Software for Australian Transport and Logistics

"Fleet costs, driver payroll, fuel tracking — automated."

Australian transport and logistics businesses manage fleet operations, driver payroll, fuel costs, compliance, and customer invoicing across multiple systems. XIntelliSync consolidates operations, accounting, CRM, payroll, and fleet cost tracking into one platform with AI agents.

Transport Industry Pain Points

The operational challenges Australian transport businesses face:

  • Fleet cost tracking across fuel, maintenance, insurance, and depreciation is fragmented across spreadsheets and accounting software
  • Driver payroll under the Road Transport Award includes complex allowances, overtime, and loading calculations
  • Job costing for individual freight runs requires connecting fuel, tolls, driver time, and vehicle costs
  • BAS preparation with fuel tax credits requires detailed record-keeping of eligible fuel purchases

How XIntelliSync Addresses Transport Workflows

XIntelliSync connects transport operations:

  • Fleet cost tracking per vehicle: fuel, maintenance, registration, insurance, depreciation
  • Job costing: link fuel, tolls, driver hours, and vehicle costs to individual freight jobs
  • Payroll preparation with Road Transport Award interpretation for allowances and penalties
  • CRM for customer management, freight quotes, and automated invoice follow-ups
  • BAS preparation including fuel tax credit tracking and GST on freight charges

Compliance for Transport

Transport businesses in Australia must comply with:

  • BAS: GST on freight, fuel tax credits for eligible vehicles, PAYG withholding
  • STP Phase 2: driver payroll with disaggregated allowances and overtime
  • Superannuation: 12% SGC for employed drivers
  • Fair Work: Road Transport and Distribution Award for pay rates, conditions, and rest periods
  • Chain of Responsibility (CoR): fatigue management obligations (XIntelliSync tracks costs, not CoR compliance)
