Profit Estimation and Tracking
Project is a set of shipments, transporting of which, must result with profit. System workflow is organized around maximizing project profit. For every project you can define expected revenue and costs, which will result with profit estimation.
Expected revenue can be converted to actual invoices with few mouse clicks, which makes invoicing the customer very fast and easy.
Project profit is known with absolute precision as it is calculated based on actual invoices and vendor invoices (actual costs). The system includes reports that allow you to measure the difference between estimated and actual revenue and profit.
Invoicing and Expense Management
Invoices can be issued and costs recorded in unlimited number of different currencies. Invoices and other documents can be emailed with a single mouse click straight from the application.
Generated invoices are automatically connected with related projects. Vendor invoices (costs from partner companies) are mapped into corresponding projects automatically based on related shipping orders. Automatic cost division can always be overruled, if needed.
Comprehensive Reporting
Reports are end-user customizable and include drill-down/grouping/filtering options - this allows you to modify the reports with few mouse clicks and examine results from different angles.
All reports can be exported to MS Excel for further analyses, or saved as PDF files. Reports can also be converted into several other popular data exchange formats, such as XML.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
XSPED logistics software allows you to build up database of customers, partner companies, and persons. Company and person objects can be instantly searched using universal search box. Company and person lists can be grouped and filtered based on many different properties.
You can record company and person related activities into journal and define custom journal entry categories to organize these records according to your needs. Journal entries can also be associated with Projects, Shipping Orders, Invoices and other major objects. Several important and critical events are recorded to the journal automatically.
Document Management
Have you ever needed to quickly locate a CMR from a closed project? Have you lost a file to deep directory tree on a server network share?
XSPED allows you to save any file or scanned document to the database and associate it with related objects. Adding a document to document register is simple matter of dragging it with mouse from disk or e-mail and dropping on related object.
For instance, you can drag a scanned CMR to Shipment object in XSPED – the document will be stored to your database and will be automatically related to the shipment, shipment’s customer company, project and other objects. When you will open shipment details window, all associated documents will be instantly accessible.
Electronic Data Exchange via XSPED.NET
XSPED.NET service allows you to exchange data with other XSPED users completely electronically. Electronic data exchange reduces time spent on tedious data entry tasks. For instance, when you have formed a Shipping Order in your XSPED, you can just click on Send via XSPED.NET button and your order will land in receiver’s XSPED database. The receiver can then import your order with few mouse clicks - re-typing all the information is not required.
The same way, your partners can send their invoice to you. You do not have to re-type the content of those invoices - you just import the XSPED.NET message and all the costs will appear in correct places in related projects!

Entering these invoices second time to accounting system is not necessary – XSPED has built-in support for Hansa Financials family of accounting software. The system has also been interfaced with Axapta and Navision products.
