What exactllyERP Connects

One Connected Transport & Fleet Operations System

Order booking, trip planning, tanker allocation, dispatch execution, POD tracking, freight billing, contract vehicle management, collections, and trip profitability stay connected inside one operational workflow.

Dispatch-to-Billing Visibility

Customer bookings linked to trip plans, vehicle allocation, dispatch execution, POD receipt, and freight invoice in one connected flow.

Fleet & Tanker Allocation

Vehicle and tanker availability tracked in real time — allocation against trips managed from system without manual coordination calls.

POD & Freight Tracking

POD receipt triggers freight billing automatically — pending PODs flagged by trip, driver, and customer without manual follow-up.

Collections & Profitability Visibility

Freight outstanding by customer with overdue flags, and trip-wise profitability after fuel and operational costs — always current.

Industry Challenges

Why generic ERP falls short
for transport & logistics companies.

Transport and logistics companies run on trip execution, fleet allocation, POD tracking, freight billing, fuel cost visibility, and trip profitability. A generic ERP handles purchase orders and invoices — none of the operational workflows that actually run a transport business.

Trip execution managed outside the ERP

Bookings, trip assignments, vehicle allocation, and driver instructions are tracked in WhatsApp messages, phone calls, and paper registers. By the time a trip is completed, no connected record exists in the ERP — billing, collections, and profitability analysis start from scratch every time.

Fleet allocation done by phone with no record

Vehicle and tanker availability is checked by calling the yard or checking a physical register. When two bookings conflict for the same vehicle, the operations team discovers the problem only at dispatch time. No system view of which vehicles are on trip, available, or under maintenance at any given moment.

POD pending with no billing trigger

Drivers deliver goods but POD documents sit with them for days or are submitted in batches at the end of the week. Billing cannot be raised without POD. Finance teams follow up manually with operations — and the list of pending PODs is never current because it lives in a spreadsheet updated intermittently.

Freight billing delayed and error-prone

Contract rates differ by customer, load type, and route. Billing teams manually look up the rate card for each trip and calculate the freight amount. Errors in rate application are common. Invoices are raised days after delivery — stretching collection timelines and creating disputes that are hard to resolve without trip-level records.

Fuel costs not tracked per trip

Fuel issued to vehicles is recorded at the pump but not linked to specific trips or routes. Total fuel cost is known at month-end — but which routes, vehicles, or drivers are consuming above average is unknown until someone manually analyses the pump register against the trip log.

Trip profitability unknown until month-end

Freight earned and trip costs are never combined at the trip level. Management gets a monthly P&L from accounts — but which routes, customers, or vehicle types are profitable and which are loss-making is invisible during the month. Pricing decisions are made on intuition rather than actual trip economics.

How exactllyERP Addresses This

Trip planning and dispatch, tanker allocation, POD-linked freight billing, fuel cost per trip, and contract vehicle billing — the way transport and logistics companies actually operate.

Trip planning and dispatch, fleet and tanker allocation, POD tracking, freight and contract billing, fuel cost per trip, driver coordination, and trip profitability from actual operations are not add-ons.

They are how exactllyERP works for transport & logistics companies.

Trip Planning & Dispatch Execution

Customer bookings converted to trip plans with route, load type, vehicle, and driver assigned from one screen. Dispatch confirmation recorded in system — trip status visible from booking to delivery.

  • Booking-to-trip conversion — customer, route, load type, and delivery requirements captured at order stage
  • Vehicle and driver assigned from system — no phone-based allocation without a record
  • Dispatch confirmation and gate-out recorded — trip start timestamp linked to vehicle and driver
  • Pending trips, active dispatches, and completed trips visible in one operations view
Fleet & Tanker Allocation

Vehicle and tanker availability tracked in real time — on trip, at base, under maintenance, and scheduled for return. Allocation made from current status, not from phone calls to the yard.

  • Fleet status updated as trips are assigned, dispatched, and closed — no manual register
  • Tanker allocation by load type and route — double-booking prevented at the point of assignment
  • Vehicles under maintenance flagged — service records and due dates linked per vehicle
  • Fleet utilisation by vehicle and period visible — idle vehicles identified without manual tally
POD Management & Freight Billing

POD receipt recorded against each trip — delivery confirmed, freight billing triggered automatically. Pending PODs listed by customer, driver, and days outstanding so billing is never held up by manual follow-up.

  • Trip delivery status updated on POD receipt — billing queue populated automatically
  • Freight invoice generated from trip data — contract rate, load type, and route applied from customer agreement
  • Pending PODs listed by driver and customer — ageing visible without manual spreadsheet update
  • Full-load, half-load, and contract billing supported — rate applied per customer agreement on file
Driver & Vehicle Coordination

Driver assignment linked to trip, vehicle, and delivery instructions. Trip history, POD submission status, and fuel issued tracked per driver — coordination from system, not from phone calls.

  • Driver assigned to trip with vehicle — assignment recorded and visible to operations team
  • Driver-wise trip history and pending POD count — follow-up targeted without manual tracking
  • Fuel issued per driver per trip recorded — consumption tracked against vehicle and route
  • Driver performance visible by trip count, on-time delivery, and POD submission rate
Fuel & Maintenance Tracking

Fuel consumed recorded per trip and per vehicle. Maintenance costs and service records linked to each vehicle. Cost visibility by route and vehicle — available during the month, not only at month-end.

  • Fuel issued and consumed per trip recorded — linked to vehicle and route for cost analysis
  • Above-average fuel consumption by vehicle or route flagged automatically
  • Maintenance due dates tracked per vehicle — scheduled service alerts prevent breakdown surprises
  • Repair costs recorded against vehicle — lifetime maintenance cost per vehicle visible from system
Collections & Trip Profitability

Freight outstanding aged by customer and invoice date. Trip profitability calculated from freight earned versus fuel, driver, and operational costs — margin visible by vehicle, route, and customer without month-end averaging.

  • Freight receivables aged from billing date — overdue customers flagged with days and amount outstanding
  • Collections tracked per customer — finance acts on current data daily, not weekly ledger extracts
  • Trip margin calculated — loss-making routes and customers identified before month-end
  • Route-wise and vehicle-wise profitability visible — pricing decisions made on actual trip economics
Transport Operations Flow

One connected flow — from customer booking to trip profitability.

Every stage in the transport and logistics lifecycle connected in one system. Customer booking triggers trip planning and vehicle allocation. Driver assignment links to dispatch execution. POD receipt triggers freight billing. Fuel and maintenance costs are recorded against the trip. Collections close the loop with trip-wise profitability always visible.

No manual handoffs. No data re-entry between stages.

Real Business Situations

How transport & logistics businesses use exactllyERP
to run day-to-day operations.

Pending POD follow-ups, fleet utilisation checks, overdue freight collections, trip profitability reviews, tanker availability questions, fuel cost by route — situations that come up every week. exactllyERP handles each without manual investigation or calls across departments.

1
Pending POD follow-up before billing

The billing team has 23 trips completed in the last 10 days with freight invoices not yet raised because PODs have not been received. Which customers are holding up billing?

System shows 23 pending PODs — 14 from Customer A (bulk contract), 6 from Customer B, 3 from Customer C. Trip numbers, delivery dates, and vehicle details listed. Customer-wise follow-up sent. Billing unblocked for 9 trips where POD just confirmed.
2
Fleet utilisation check before month-end

Operations manager wants the utilisation percentage for all 18 owned vehicles in April. Which vehicles ran less than 50% of available days? Any sitting idle without a reason recorded?

4 vehicles below 50% utilisation in April — 2 under maintenance, 2 under-allocated. Top 5 vehicles averaged 87% utilisation. Fleet overall: 68% average for the month. Under-allocated vehicles flagged for dispatch reallocation.
3
Overdue freight collections before MD review

Finance manager needs the list of customers with freight outstanding beyond 45 days before the MD review meeting. Total amount and ageing breakdown needed.

7 customers with freight outstanding beyond 45 days. Total ₹68.4L overdue. Oldest invoice: 94 days, ₹12.1L. 2 customers exceed credit limit. Ageing: 45–60 days ₹28.6L, 60–90 days ₹24.3L, 90+ days ₹15.5L.
4
Trip profitability for a specific route

Transport head wants to know if the Mumbai–Pune bulk tanker route is profitable after fuel, driver, and toll costs this month versus the prior month.

38 trips on Mumbai–Pune this month. Freight revenue ₹14.6L. Fuel ₹5.2L, driver allowance ₹1.8L, toll ₹0.6L. Net margin ₹7.0L (47.9%). Prior month: 51.2%. Compression caused by fuel rate increase — flagged for rate review.
5
Tanker availability for new contract

exactllyERP vs Generic ERP

Why transport & logistics companies need more than a standard ERP.

Generic ERP handles purchase orders, sales invoices, and basic stock. Transport & logistics companies need trip execution tracking, tanker allocation, POD-to-billing workflows, full-load/half-load/contract billing, trip profitability, freight outstanding visibility, and fleet utilisation — none of which are available in a standard system without costly customisation.

None of these are handled natively by a standard system — without costly customisation.

Common Questions

Transport & logistics questions, answered directly.

Questions transport and logistics companies ask about trip management, fleet allocation, POD tracking, freight billing, contract vehicles, and collections — answered from how exactllyERP actually works.

Does exactllyERP support transport and logistics operations?

Yes. exactllyERP manages the full transport and logistics lifecycle — from customer booking and trip planning through vehicle allocation, dispatch execution, POD tracking, freight billing, and collections. Every stage is connected in one system. Trip status, fleet availability, pending PODs, and freight outstanding are visible without manual follow-up or separate spreadsheet tracking.

Can fleet and tanker allocation be managed in exactllyERP?

Yes. Fleet availability is tracked in real time in exactllyERP — vehicles on trip, at base, under maintenance, and scheduled for return are visible at any point. Tanker allocation is recorded against each trip with vehicle number, driver, and route. Allocation decisions are made from current availability data, not from phone calls to the yard. Maintenance due alerts and service records are linked to each vehicle.

Does exactllyERP support POD and freight billing?

Yes. POD receipt is recorded against each trip in exactllyERP — delivery status updated and freight billing triggered automatically on POD confirmation. Trips with pending POD are listed by customer, driver, and days outstanding so the billing team can follow up without manual tracking. Freight invoices are generated from trip data — rate, load type, and contract terms applied from the customer agreement on file.

Can trip profitability and fuel costs be tracked in exactllyERP?

Yes. Trip profitability in exactllyERP is calculated from freight earned against fuel cost, driver cost, and operational expenses recorded per trip. Margin is visible by vehicle, route, and customer — not a month-end estimate from aggregated figures. Fuel consumed per trip is tracked against each vehicle. Routes and vehicles with above-average fuel consumption are flagged automatically so fleet managers can act before costs compound.

Does exactllyERP support contract vehicle billing?

Yes. Contract vehicle trips — full-load, half-load, and dedicated contracts — are billed in exactllyERP against the agreed rate structure per customer. Period-wise billing summaries by customer and vehicle type are generated from the system — no manual consolidation from trip registers. Unbilled contract trips are flagged before month-end so billing gaps are caught before closing.

Can outstanding freight collections be monitored in exactllyERP?

Yes. Every freight invoice ages automatically from the billing date in exactllyERP. The collections view shows each customer’s total outstanding, oldest unpaid invoice, and ageing bucket — 0–30 days, 31–60 days, 60+ days. Overdue customers are flagged and finance teams act on current data daily rather than extracting ledgers once a week. New trip bookings from overdue customers can be flagged at the order stage.
