Predict your business costs for up to 12 months
The NRC Cost Model is New Zealand’s most advanced cost forecasting tool for commercial transport operators.
Key features and benefits:
- Predict the annual cost up to 12 months ahead of any size of transport business, from single vehicles to large complex fleets.
- Test scenarios to see how different business decisions for the same scenario affect your bottom line.
- Track emissions with accurate CO₂ output data for your vehicles.
- Review easy-to-read graphs to help you see important results at a glance, as well as detailed figures to help you and your accountant undertake in-depth analysis.
The report is fully confidential to the person submitting the data and not used by NRC for any other purposes.
How to get the best results
Like any predictive tool, the Cost Model is only as good as the information you provide. The more accurate that information, the more useful the subsequent report will be.
However, NRC is on hand to assist and a team member will review each submitted model within 3 working days and contact you to discuss and provide further guidance if required.
Information you'll need
