What opportunities does Zavgar Online have in addition to cost accounting?
1. Control of maintenance and repairs of equipment
It is not a secret for anyone that the service life of the equipment increases if all maintenance regulations are observed. The maintenance regulations exist, everyone agrees with them but there is a human factor. Thus, the wear and tear of the key components of the equipment is calculated by leaps and bounds, resulting in a major overhaul. The consequence of such repairs is simple, lost profit and huge expenses for spare parts and repairs.
Zavgar Online System:
a) Reminds of the need for maintenance or scheduled repairs;
b) Maintains the electronic service book for every vehicle. All works, spare parts are saved;
c) Prolongs the next service interval automatically;
d) Standardizes all unscheduled repairs. You will know which part was installed, how much it costs and where it was purchased. The same goes for work.
2. Electronic pre-trip vehicle inspections
It is not for nothing that pre-trip vehicle inspections are mandatory conditions for issuing on the line in accordance with the law. Unfortunately, these rules are neglected at many enterprises and the occurrence of force majeure is not uncommon. In Zavgar Online you can approve the inspection template, its schedule and conditions. Before starting work the driver enters the mobile application and goes through the checklist. If a problem is identified, an incident is created automatically and transportation manager should resolve the problem.
3. Fuel control
Yes, Zavgar Online is also aimed at this cost segment. In the structure of operating expenses fuel cost is 40-60%, so we decided to use three levels of validation of the data provided by drivers:
a) Automatic fuel purchase data uploading fuel cards;
b) Synchronization with the GLONASS / GPS monitoring system;
c) The internal system algorithm detecting anomalies and suspicious purchase of fuel.
4. Storage
Some companies buy all spare parts for specific repairs, some have the most popular items in stock. All of them want to control the entire process from the moment of ordering to the actual installation of the parts on a vehicle. Zavgar Online will satisfy the demand of all its clients. The entire history of the spare part will be saved.
5. Interaction with suppliers
Often the purchase of goods is based on the personal relationship between the supplier and the buyer. In the case of a change of place of work of the buyer the problem of restoring contact information arises periodically. It is waste of time and money always. The Zavgar Online Suppliers module will save all contractors' contacts, allow you to trace the entire history of interaction with them, and show all costs in the context of the supplier.
6. Data visualization
Charts give you the opportunity to follow trends. Trends allow you to identify anomalies. Anomalies allow you to pinpoint, with minimal loss of time, eliminate failures in the company. Costs are always on the Zavgar Online main page.

Figures are the optimal tool for managing a company. Zagar Online provides report forms on key indicators that the system collects.
