Customer rates

Rates excl. VAT, grouped by customer. Each line shows the row it came from on Rob’s sheet.

Customer rate lines
Route	Type / band	Rate	Min · doc fee	Fuel	Actions

⇄ means the sheet says TO/FROM, so the rate applies in both directions. Per-kg freight is the larger of the minimum charge and chargeable kg × rate; fuel is a percentage of freight; doc fee and e-toll are added after fuel. All amounts exclude VAT.

Customer links

Each customer has their own estimate page, priced from their rates and the current fuel month. Send a customer only their own link.

Customers must sign in to their assigned account. The database restricts access to their own rates. This local preview URL is available on this computer only.

Fuel & backup

Apply the month’s fuel movement to customer surcharges.

Surcharges sit on each rate line, as on Rob’s sheets. They change only when you apply a movement or edit a line.

Apply this month’s movement

Current = Fuel S/c + Movement

This is the calculation on Rob’s Master sheet. Enter the movement in percentage points (for example −0.5). It is added to every surcharge you select. Review the preview, then apply.

Backup

Export a copy of the shared demo data (rates, fuel history and saved quotes). Importing publishes the backup’s rates and fuel settings as a new version; it does not replace saved quotes. The offline copy is every customer’s current rates in one file that opens in Excel, for the office PC or a printed folder.

Browser storage can be cleared or lost. Export backups regularly; this demo is not a production backup system.
