Job Profitability Analysis is a detailed financial report in CargoWise that evaluates the profit or loss generated from individual logistics jobs or shipments. It compares total revenue earned against direct and indirect costs, offering precise insights into the financial health of each transaction. This level of granular analysis helps logistics companies understand which jobs are profitable, which are not, and why, enabling better pricing, cost control, and decision-making.

Using CargoWise, this analysis is automated and accessible within job files, with real-time updates reflecting charges, accruals, and revenue postings. Forwarders and logistics firms can customize the reporting structure to suit departments, branches, or customer groups. The visibility into net margins not only sharpens operational performance but also supports long-term strategic planning. Whether identifying unprofitable lanes or monitoring customer-specific profitability, this feature ensures that every shipment contributes to financial goals.
