Aman Group — Fleet Management
& Leakage Control

How the proposed TMS/FTS (ERP) platform turns Aman's transport operation into a closed, accountable system — and stops the money, fuel, parts and time that quietly leak out of a large mixed fleet.
ClientAman Group — Transport Department Basis5 working sessions with the team FocusLeakage control & accountability Scope noteOperational logic only — no financials
Context. Across five working sessions with the Aman Group Transport Department, one theme came back in every discussion: a fleet this size doesn't lose money in one big place — it leaks in a hundred small ones. Fuel that can't be accounted for, parts that walk out of the store, trips that were never billed, overtime nobody can verify. This document sets out how the TMS/FTS platform closes those gaps. It is deliberately about the operational logic, not the price — scope, timeline and cost are handled separately.

1. What "leakage" means in a fleet this size

Aman runs a mix of light and heavy vehicles across multiple concerns, with its own workshops, store and drivers. In that setting, "leakage" is every unit of value that leaves the business without a record that ties it to a job. It is rarely dramatic theft; far more often it is the absence of a paper trail — and the two look identical on a spreadsheet.

Fuel & CNG

Over-fuelling, tank siphoning, inflated slips, private use — the single largest and hardest-to-see cost.

🔩Spare parts

Parts issued without a job, double-buying, "ghost" consumption, scrap that never gets logged.

🛣️Trips & freight

Unbilled or under-billed trips, private runs on company fuel, return trips that vanish.

🛠️Maintenance

Repeat repairs, inflated labour, parts billed but not fitted, no link between job card and cost.

⏱️Time & overtime

Padded overtime, idle vehicles marked on-duty, driver hours nobody can confirm.

📄Compliance

Missed tax/fitness/permit renewals → fines, seizures and downtime — a pure, avoidable loss.

The core idea: every one of these closes the same way — capture the event digitally, tie it to a vehicle/driver/job, reconcile it against a plan, and alert the moment reality drifts from the record. The platform is built so nothing of value moves without leaving that trail.

2. The leak map — where value escapes, and how the VMS closes it

Each row is a real leakage point raised in our sessions, mapped to the module and control that shuts it. "Closed" means the platform makes the leak visible and accountable; "Tightened" means it is sharply reduced through verification and reconciliation.

Where it leaksModule / controlEffectHow the leak is closed
Fuel / CNG over-draw & siphoningFuel Management + VTSClosedEvery fill logged per vehicle & driver; consumption measured against distance from GPS; efficiency outliers & theft patterns flagged automatically.
Parts issued without a jobStore (SKU/QR) + Job CardClosedA part can only be issued by QR scan against an open job card; stock auto-deducts, so every part maps to a vehicle and a reason.
Double-buying & stockoutsStore + Reorder + ProcurementClosedReal-time stock with reorder alerts and PO flow — prevents duplicate purchases and emergency over-priced buying.
Unbilled / under-billed tripsTMS Ops + Route Fare + BillingClosedBooking → manifest → dispatch → delivery → return is one chain; route-fare auto-computes the charge, so no completed trip can close unbilled.
Private runs on company vehiclesVTS/GPS + Geofence + Trip classTightenedLive tracking, route history and internal-vs-external trip classification expose off-route and after-hours movement.
"Ghost" return / empty tripsReturn Trip + ReconciliationClosedReturn trips are logged empty/loaded with cost reconciliation — an outbound trip must be squared off.
Loading / unloading quantity mismatchLoading Manifest + Gate Pass + UnloadTightenedQuantity/weight captured at manifest, verified at digital gate pass, and confirmed with condition at unloading.
Maintenance overbillingWMS Job Card → InvoiceClosedLabour, parts and cost live on one job card that becomes the invoice — parts billed must match parts issued from store.
Repeat / avoidable repairsLog & Repair History + PreventiveTightenedFull per-vehicle history surfaces recurring faults; preventive schedules cut breakdown-driven emergency spend.
Padded overtime & idle-on-dutyRoster + Overtime + Field ShiftTightenedDuty roster and overtime capture cross-checked against GPS movement and trip logs.
Rental-vehicle billing leakageRental Trip + Separate BillingClosedHired vehicles tracked and billed separately so rental cost never blends into owned-fleet numbers.
Scrap / "unwanted goods"Scrap Register + DisposalClosedCondemned parts and scrap are logged and disposal-tracked — recoverable value stops disappearing quietly.
Compliance fines & seizure downtimeBRTA Compliance + Auto-renewalClosedTax, fitness, route permit, insurance tracked with renewal alerts (60/30/15/7/1 day) — no vehicle grounded on an expired paper.
New-vehicle handover defectsPDI Checklist + Warranty linkClosed5-section pre-delivery inspection with photo evidence and sign-off, linked to warranty — defects caught before they become Aman's cost.
The point: individually each of these is a small hole. Together, in a large mixed fleet, they are the difference between a transport department that is a cost centre and one that is measured, defensible and under control. The platform's job is to make every hole visible and closeable.

3. The control system — four moves that close every leak

Rather than a separate trick per problem, the platform applies the same four-step control to everything of value that moves:

1Capture

Every fuel fill, part issue, trip, job and duty is entered digitally at the point it happens — QR scan, app, gate pass, GPS ping.

2Tie

Each event is bound to a vehicle, a driver/staff, and a job or trip. Nothing floats free; everything has an owner.

3Reconcile

Actuals are checked against plan — fuel vs distance, parts billed vs issued, trip completed vs billed, overtime vs GPS.

4Alert

The moment reality drifts from the record — an outlier, an overdue renewal, a mismatch — the notification engine flags it.

4. Fuel & CNG — the biggest leak, closed first

Fuel is usually the largest controllable cost and the easiest to lose. The platform treats it as a measured ratio, not a slip:

5. Store & spare parts — a part can't move without a reason

The store is where value walks out one part at a time. The control is simple and hard to bypass:

6. Trips, routes & billing — no completed trip closes unbilled

The TMS operations chain is what turns freight movement into an accountable, billable record end to end:

Booking → Loading Manifest → Dispatch → Gate Pass → Unloading → Receive → Delivery → Return Trip → Billing

7. Maintenance & workshop — cost tied to evidence

8. Compliance & documents — stop paying avoidable penalties

A grounded or fined vehicle is pure leakage — cost with zero output. The BRTA compliance pack tracks tax token, fitness, route permit, number plate and insurance per vehicle, with staged auto-renewal alerts (60/30/15/7/1 day) and a live expiry dashboard. Warranty and insurance are linked to the PDI and new-vehicle record, so nothing lapses unnoticed.

9. The evidence trail — notifications, reports & audit

Control only works if it is visible. Every module carries Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Yearly notifications and reports — this was a defining requirement, not an add-on. Management sees fuel efficiency, parts movement, trip billing, maintenance cost, overtime and compliance status on a schedule, with an audit trail behind every number. Leakage stops being a suspicion and becomes a line on a report someone owns.

🔔Notification engine

Push, SMS, email & in-app alerts on every module — expiries, outliers, approvals, mismatches.

📊Reporting engine

All D/W/M/Y reports, exportable, with dashboards for fuel, cost, utilisation & compliance.

🧾Audit trail

Who did what, when — every issue, edit and approval is logged and defensible.

🔐Role-based access

Admin, Operations, Workshop/Mechanic, Store, Accounts — each sees and does only its part.

10. Rollout priority — biggest leaks first

Sequenced so the highest-value controls land earliest. (Delivery timeline and scope are covered in the requirement response; cost is handled separately, outside this document.)

Bottom line for Aman: this is not "a tracking app." It is a control system that makes fuel, parts, trips, maintenance, time and compliance each measured, each owned, and each defensible — built on our existing VMS so the proven core is reused and only Aman's specific operations are added. The result is a transport department that can prove where every taka of value went.
