Margin visibility per trip is an operational tool, not just finance reporting

Operations and finance often talk too late. Dispatch makes tactical choices while margin data appears weeks later in exported reports. That gap hides repeated losses on the same lanes.

Move margin context into the daily workflow

• Capture buy/sell values at order and subcontracting stages.
• Track exceptions that add cost (detention, reroutes, waiting).
• Attach invoice status to operational completion states.
• Review lane-level margin trends before accepting similar orders.
