Logistics & Transport
Software for Logistics, Transport & Fleet Operators
Trip costs, delivery proof and documentation, tracked properly.
Transport businesses operate on narrow margins where diesel, driver advances and detention charges decide whether a trip made money. The operational difficulty is that most of this information is generated away from the office, on the road, in cash.
The operational problems we see in this sector
These come from the work itself, not from a questionnaire. If three or more sound familiar, software will usually pay for itself.
Per-trip profitability unknown
Freight income, diesel, tolls, driver advances and maintenance are recorded separately, so whether a trip was profitable is a guess.
Proof of delivery on paper
Signed delivery challans travel back with the driver, so billing waits and disputes cannot be settled quickly.
Driver advances unreconciled
Cash advances are given and settled informally, making it hard to tell what is genuinely outstanding against a driver.
Customers calling for status
Shipment status requires calling the driver, so the office spends its day relaying information.
Documentation and compliance risk
E-way bills, permits, fitness certificates and insurance renewals are tracked manually, with the penalties that follow a lapse.
What we build for it
How software addresses each of those
Trip-level costing
Freight, diesel, tolls, advances and maintenance booked against the trip, giving real profitability per trip, vehicle and route.
Electronic proof of delivery
Drivers capture signature and photographs on a phone at delivery, so billing can begin immediately and disputes are settled with evidence.
Driver advance ledger
Advances issued and settled per driver and trip, with a clear running balance rather than an informal understanding.
Customer visibility
Automated status updates and a tracking link remove most of the status calls the office handles.
Document and renewal tracking
Vehicle documents with expiry alerts, plus e-way bill and LR generation, so compliance lapses are prevented rather than discovered.
What a typical system includes
- Consignment booking with lorry receipt generation
- Trip planning with vehicle and driver assignment
- Expense capture: diesel, tolls, loading, detention and miscellaneous
- Driver advance issue and settlement with running balance
- Driver mobile app: trip details, expense entry, delivery proof capture
- Electronic proof of delivery with signature and photographs
- Freight billing with customer-wise rate contracts
- Vehicle maintenance scheduling and document expiry alerts
- Customer tracking link and automated status notifications
- Reports: per-trip and per-vehicle profitability, route analysis, outstanding freight
What changes once it is running
Stated as operational outcomes rather than invented percentages — we have no basis for a number we did not measure in your business.
- Trip profitability becomes a known number rather than an estimate
- Billing starts on delivery day instead of waiting for paperwork to travel back
- Driver advance balances are clear and settled against evidence
- Status calls to the office fall significantly
- Document expiry lapses and the resulting penalties are avoided
