The problem DepotIQ solves
A delivery depot generates an enormous amount of operational data every single day, and almost none of it arrives in a usable form. Drivers sign in. Routes go out. Stops are completed, or are not. Rates apply, and the rates changed in March. Commission is due, and the client's figures do not match yours. Somewhere in this, someone has to work out what each driver is owed, and be able to defend it.
In most depots that reconciliation happens in a spreadsheet, at the end of a period, by one person who understands it. It takes days, it is difficult to check, and when a driver disputes a figure the only way to answer is to rebuild the calculation.
Add a second depot and the problem more than doubles, because now the two are doing it differently.
How DepotIQ works
It controls the depot, not just the paperwork
DepotIQ is built to be the head of the depot: the system that controls and tracks everything running through it, rather than a reporting layer bolted on afterwards. Attendance, drivers and routes are recorded as they happen, which is what makes everything downstream possible.
Per-stop pay on dated rates
Pay is calculated per stop, against the rate that applied on the day. Holding rates against dates rather than as a single current value is what keeps historic figures correct when rates change, and it removes an entire category of dispute.
Commission reconciled by consignment number
Commission is reconciled at consignment level. That is deliberately granular: when totals disagree, a consignment-level reconciliation points at the specific parcels causing the difference, instead of producing two numbers and an argument.
Per-driver performance
DepotIQ tracks Compliance, Predict and Service failures for each driver. Held per driver rather than as a depot average, this turns a monthly metric into something a manager can act on with a specific person, while it is still recent enough to matter.
Marshal answers the questions
Marshal answers questions on the depot's own figures in plain English. The point is that the answer does not depend on someone knowing how to build the report, which in most depots is the real constraint on how often anybody asks.
Why Oxus built it
DepotIQ is the largest illustration of what Oxus Technologies means by automating admin work. The depot's data already existed; it was simply being recorded in ways that made it useless until somebody spent days turning it back into figures. Capturing it correctly at the moment it happens is the whole intervention.
Oxus built and operates DepotIQ. See delivery depots for the wider set of admin problems in this sector.

Frequently asked questions
What does DepotIQ do?
DepotIQ runs a parcel delivery depot. It records who was in, what every driver ran, and the routes worked. It calculates per-stop pay against dated rates, reconciles commission by consignment number, and tracks Compliance, Predict and Service failures for each driver. It works across multiple depots, and it includes Marshal, which answers questions about the depot's own figures in plain English.
What are dated rates, and why do they matter?
Per-stop rates change over time, and a payment run has to use the rate that applied on the day the work was done rather than the rate in force today. Systems that hold only a current rate quietly miscalculate every historic recalculation and every backdated query. DepotIQ holds rates against dates so the figure for a past week stays correct.
What is Marshal?
Marshal is the part of DepotIQ that answers questions on the depot's own figures in plain English, so getting an answer does not require building a report or knowing where in the system to look.
Why reconcile commission by consignment number?
Because the consignment number is the only identifier both sides of the transaction agree on. Reconciling at that level means a discrepancy can be traced to a specific parcel rather than argued about as a difference between two totals.
