The verdict in three sentences
A custom TMS in Singapore ranges from 4,000,000 to 12,000,000 FCFA (~6,000-18,000 EUR) in 2026, depending on geolocation, route optimisation and the driver app. It pays off once you run several vehicles, daily rounds and delivery disputes for lack of proof. Target -20% fuel, +25% deliveries and electronic proof of delivery, with 10%/yr maintenance and a 4-to-7-month delivery.
What makes up the price: key modules
Cost depends on the number of vehicles, optimisation level and integrations. Here are typical 2026 line items in FCFA for a regional fleet.
| Module | Range (FCFA) | Target gain |
|---|---|---|
| Geolocation & fleet tracking | 800,000-2,000,000 | Real-time visibility |
| Route optimisation | 1,000,000-2,800,000 | -20% km |
| Driver app & POD | 900,000-2,400,000 | Disputes cut threefold |
| Planning & assignment | 700,000-1,800,000 | +25% deliveries/day |
| Dashboards & KPIs | 600,000-1,600,000 | Cost/round control |
| Billing integration | 700,000-1,800,000 | Auto transport billing |
A 15-vehicle project with optimisation, driver app and POD usually lands around 8,000,000-9,000,000 FCFA, ~10% annual maintenance included.
Where the gains are: fuel and productivity
Savings come mostly from fuel and deliveries per vehicle. Here are 2026 orders of magnitude for an urban and regional distribution fleet.
| Lever | Before | After TMS | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Km per round | 180 km | 144 km | -20% fuel |
| Deliveries/vehicle/day | 20 | 25 | +25% capacity |
| Delivery disputes | 5% | 1.6% | Timestamped POD |
| Planning time | 2.5 h/day | 30 min/day | -80% |
| Fuel cost/month | baseline | -20% | Direct saving |
With diesel at ~750 FCFA/litre, 30 L/100 km consumption, 36 km saved per round across 15 vehicles and 24 days/month is about 3,900 litres/month, i.e. ~2,900,000 FCFA/month of fuel avoided at fleet scale.
Mini case study
Mr Hounkpe, logistics director at a beverage distributor in Singapore (15 vehicles, 3 planners), plans routes manually and suffers 5% delivery disputes with no proof. He invests 8,500,000 FCFA in a custom TMS with geolocation, optimisation and a driver app. Target: -20% fuel (saving at fleet scale), +25% deliveries per vehicle and disputes down to 1.6% thanks to signed proof of delivery. Between fuel, capacity and non-quality, the annual gain exceeds 10,000,000 FCFA, an estimated payback under 11 months.

FAQ
How much does a custom TMS cost in Singapore in 2026?
Between 4,000,000 and 12,000,000 FCFA depending on fleet, optimisation and the driver app. A 15-vehicle project with POD and optimisation often lands around 8,000,000-9,000,000 FCFA.
What real fuel gain should I expect?
Route optimisation cuts mileage by 15 to 20%, translating directly into fuel saved. On a 15-vehicle fleet, that can be several million FCFA per year.
Does electronic proof of delivery really reduce disputes?
Yes: a timestamped, geolocated POD signed on the driver app drops challenges, often from 5% to under 2%. It's also a reliability argument with your customers.
Does the TMS work with an unstable mobile connection?
Yes, the driver app can run offline and sync proofs of delivery and statuses when the network returns, essential on routes in low-coverage areas.
What annual maintenance to plan?
Around 10%/yr of the project cost, i.e. 400,000-1,200,000 FCFA, including fixes, map updates and evolutions. That stays below a per-vehicle subscription in hard currency.
