Freight Billing & Invoice Systems

Invoices in minutes. Not days. Zero errors.

A freight billing and invoicing system that automates the entire billing cycle from trip data capture to GST-compliant invoice generation, WhatsApp delivery to clients, and payment tracking. Built specifically for the complex billing requirements of Indian logistics.

The Problem

The Problem: Billing Takes Days and Is Full of Errors

Indian logistics billing is notoriously complex multiple rate cards, surcharges for detentions and weight differences, client-specific pricing, GST calculations across state boundaries, and TDS deductions. Most companies still manually create invoices in Excel or Tally, copying trip data by hand. The result is a 3-5 day billing cycle, frequent errors that delay payments, and no visibility into outstanding receivables.

Manual data entry from trip sheets to invoices copying same data multiple times across systems

Complex rate cards with lane-specific, client-specific, and vehicle-type pricing impossible to manage manually

GST calculations errors wrong tax rates, missing reverse charge, incorrect IGST/CGST/SGST splits

Invoices delivered by email and post clients lose them, dispute amounts, and payment gets delayed by 30-60 days

No automated follow-up on pending payments outstanding receivables pile up silently

No reconciliation between trips completed, invoices raised, and payments received
