Using NShine ERP in the USA
You will know what the current app can and cannot do for a US carrier: USD, sales tax where it applies as a Tax Rate, and DOT, insurance and licence documents tracked with reminders.
The USA is an upcoming market for NShine ERP. The app already works in USD and with US document types, and this page says plainly what is set up through the existing Settings tabs and what is not yet built for US compliance. Nothing here is a promise of a US-specific module.
Tax
- There is no VAT. Most freight transport is not subject to sales tax, so many carriers create a single Tax Rate of 0 under Settings › Tax Rates and use it on every invoice.
- Where a state or local sales tax applies to something you bill, add it as a named Tax Rate with its percentage and pick it on that invoice.
- Leave the TRN field under Settings › Company for your federal employer identification number, or leave it blank; it prints on invoices only if filled.
- The Apply RCM switch has no US use; leave it off.
Currency, Decimals And Year
- Company Currency USD with No. of Decimal 2 under Settings › Company.
- Most carriers use a calendar year: create 1 January to 31 December under Settings › Financial Year and Set Active.
- Set Date Format to the month-first pattern your staff expect.
Documents To Map
Entity | Document types | Note |
|---|---|---|
Vehicle | Registration, Annual inspection, Insurance (liability and cargo), IRP cab card, IFTA decal, Permits | Add each as a Document Type under Settings › Document Mapping |
Employee | Commercial driver licence, Medical examiner certificate, identity documents, Drug and alcohol clearinghouse record | Set Remind Before to 60 days for medical certificates |
Customer / Supplier | Carrier authority, Insurance certificate, W-9 on file | Attach the file to the record |
Distance And Fuel
- Odometer readings, Distance Driven and Fuel Cost per km are stored in kilometres and litres as labelled. Record your readings in the units on your dashboard and note that report labels say km; conversion for IFTA mileage is done outside the app at present.
- Fuel Tracking still gives you cost per vehicle, station-wise totals and efficiency comparisons between vehicles.
What Is Not Yet Built
- IFTA fuel tax reporting, ELD hours-of-service integration and US payroll tax calculations are not part of the app on the screens reviewed.
- If you are a US carrier evaluating NShine ERP, contact us so the roadmap for these items can be shared with you.
