Settlements & the Auto-Settlement Engine: Numbers That Write Themselves

Manually entering settlement data for every driver, every week, across a growing fleet is exactly the kind of repetitive task that eats an office manager's whole day and introduces errors along the way. The Auto-Settlement Engine removes the manual entry entirely.

When a trip on Trip Board closes as paid, a settlement row writes automatically — gross revenue from the agreed rate, miles from the agreed miles, driver pay calculated from that driver's specific pay settings (flat, percentage, or per-mile, whichever applies). No dispatcher has to remember to log it.

Why it matters: manual settlement entry is where errors creep in — a driver pay type gets applied wrong, a mile count gets fat-fingered. Automatic settlement writing at the moment a trip closes removes that entire category of mistake.

Where it connects: every auto-written settlement immediately updates Fleet P&L, feeds Command Center's variance alerts if the numbers look off, and rolls into that unit's profile history — one closing action, four places updated correctly.
