Computer flight plans

We're putting together our training material for the full ATPL(H)IR and have come across requirements for checking fuel.
  • Compare the actual and the planned fuel consumption by means of calculation or flight progress chart
  • Assess the remaining range and endurance by means of calculation or flight progress chart

At the risk of looking stupid, on a fixed wing type you'd normally do the fuel checks against a computer flight plan. Do helicopters use the same thing? If so, could anyone send me a sample, please? If not, how do you do it?
