Transport Management Systems (TMS)

One system. Every trip. Every mode. Full control.

A Transport Management System built specifically for Indian logistics operations. Plan trips, assign vehicles, track drivers, upload PODs, and analyze route profitability all from a single dashboard. Supports road, rail, air, and maritime modes with mode-specific workflows.

The Problem

The Problem: Your Operations Run on WhatsApp and Excel

Most Indian transporters and logistics companies manage trips through a chaotic mix of WhatsApp groups, phone calls, handwritten registers, and scattered Excel sheets. Trip details get lost, drivers go unmonitored, freight bills take days to generate, and there is zero visibility into route-level profitability. As volumes grow, this manual approach becomes a bottleneck that limits scaling.

Trip details lost in WhatsApp conversations no audit trail or structured data

Manual vehicle assignment leads to underutilized capacity and empty return trips

No real-time visibility into driver location, ETAs, or trip progress

Freight billing requires manual data entry from multiple sources takes 3-5 days per invoice cycle

No route-level P&L analysis you cannot tell which lanes are profitable and which are draining margins

Compliance documents (driving licence, fitness certificate, insurance) tracked manually with frequent lapses

Who This Is For

Who This Is Built For

This system is designed for logistics operators who manage 10 or more trips daily across multiple vehicles and routes. If your current process involves calling drivers for updates, manually recording trip sheets, and spending hours on billing this is for you.

Transporters & Fleet Owners

Managing 20-500+ vehicles who need centralized trip planning and tracking

3PL & 4PL Operators

Handling shipments for multiple clients with SLA tracking and billing requirements

Freight Forwarders

Coordinating across road, rail, air, and maritime with multi-modal trip management

System Architecture

Database schema, user roles, API integrations, and deployment plan designed around your operational structure.

03

Core Module Development

Trip planning, vehicle assignment, and tracking modules built with iterative demos every 5-7 days.

04

Billing & Analytics Build

Freight billing engine, GST compliance, and route profitability dashboards built from your actual rate cards and cost structures.

05

Driver App & Integration

Mobile app for drivers with GPS tracking, POD capture, and notifications. Integration with existing systems (ERP, GPS providers).

06

Testing & Go-Live

UAT with your team on real trips, data migration from Excel/registers, training sessions, and 60-day post-launch support.

Benefits

Why This Matters

60-80% Reduction in Billing Time

Auto-generated invoices from trip data eliminate manual data entry. What took 3-5 days now happens in under 2 hours.

Real-Time Visibility

Know exactly where every vehicle is, every trip status, and every pending delivery without calling drivers.

15-25% Improvement in Vehicle Utilization

Smart vehicle assignment and return trip planning reduces empty miles and maximizes fleet earning potential.

Zero Compliance Lapses

Automated expiry tracking with escalation alerts means no more fines, impounds, or last-minute document scrambles.

Data-Driven Route Decisions

Route profitability analytics let you focus resources on high-margin lanes and renegotiate or drop unprofitable ones.

Scalable Architecture

Whether you run 20 vehicles or 2,000, the system scales with your operation without needing a rebuild.
