Customized Logistics & Transportation ERP
Manage consignments, fleet operations, freight billing, vendor settlements, and delivery tracking with an ERP configured around your logistics workflows, route networks, and transporter relationships.
Unified Operations from Booking to Delivery and Settlement
Logistics and transportation businesses handle a chain of interdependent activities — booking consignments, assigning vehicles and routes, dispatching trips, tracking shipments in transit, confirming deliveries with proof of delivery, and settling accounts with vendors and transporters. When these activities are managed through disconnected tools, phone calls, and paper-based records, freight billing errors, delayed settlements, and missed delivery commitments follow.
T3 Logistics & Transportation ERP is configured around your specific operational model — whether you run your own fleet, work with third-party transporters, or operate a hybrid model. The system connects every stage from order booking through final settlement into a single operational layer, giving dispatchers, operations managers, and finance teams a shared, real-time view of every consignment.
Common Logistics Challenges T3 ERP Addresses
Operational gaps in logistics directly impact delivery reliability, billing accuracy, and transporter relationships.
Manual Trip & Consignment Tracking
When trip sheets and consignment notes are managed on paper or spreadsheets, operations teams lose track of shipment status, vehicle locations, and pending deliveries across branches.
Freight Billing Errors & Disputes
Manual freight calculations based on weight, distance, or rate contracts lead to billing mismatches, customer disputes, and revenue leakage that compounds across hundreds of consignments.
Vehicle Utilization & Maintenance Gaps
Without a centralized view of fleet availability, maintenance schedules, and trip history, vehicles sit idle while others are overused — increasing downtime and repair costs.
Vendor & Transporter Settlement Delays
Reconciling hire charges, advance payments, deductions, and trip-wise expenses with multiple transporters manually causes payment delays and strained vendor relationships.
Lack of Real-Time Shipment Visibility
Customers and internal teams cannot get timely updates on shipment location and estimated delivery, leading to reactive communication and missed commitments.
Proof of Delivery & Documentation Gaps
Missing, delayed, or incomplete POD documents hold up billing cycles, create audit gaps, and make it difficult to resolve delivery disputes with customers.
Modules Configured for Your Logistics Operations
Each module maps to a specific logistics function and can be enabled or configured based on your operational model.
Customer & Contract Management
Maintain customer profiles, rate contracts, credit terms, and consignment preferences. Apply customer-specific billing rules automatically across all bookings.
Vendor & Transporter Coordination
Manage transporter onboarding, vehicle registrations, hire rate agreements, advance tracking, and performance history across your vendor network.
Route Planning & Optimization
Define route masters with waypoints, distance tables, and transit time estimates. Assign routes to trips based on destination clusters and load requirements.
Vehicle & Fleet Tracking
Track vehicle availability, current assignments, maintenance schedules, insurance status, permit validity, and fitness certificate expiry in a centralized fleet register.
Trip & Consignment Management
Create trip sheets, assign vehicles and drivers, attach consignment notes (LRs), record loading and unloading points, and track trip status from dispatch to closure.
Shipment & LR Management
Generate lorry receipts (LRs) or consignment notes with item details, weight, dimensions, declared value, and delivery instructions. Track each LR through its lifecycle.
Freight Billing & Invoicing
Auto-calculate freight charges based on rate contracts — per ton, per trip, per km, or slab-based. Generate invoices linked to delivered consignments and POD status.
Settlements & Expense Tracking
Manage transporter settlements including hire charges, diesel advances, deductions, and balance payments. Track trip-wise expenses for profitability analysis.
Performance & Analytics Dashboard
Monitor fleet utilization, on-time delivery rates, branch-wise revenue, transporter performance, pending PODs, and outstanding settlements from a single dashboard.

Logistics Operations Workflow in T3 ERP
A step-by-step flow from consignment booking to final settlement.
Booking & Order Entry
Record consignment bookings with customer details, origin-destination, material type, weight, and delivery requirements. Auto-apply rate contracts for freight estimation.
Route & Vehicle Assignment
Select the appropriate route, assign an available vehicle and driver based on load type and destination. Attach consignment notes (LRs) to the trip sheet.
Trip Dispatch
Dispatch the trip with confirmed loading details, advance payments to the driver or transporter, and estimated arrival times communicated to relevant stakeholders.
In-Transit Tracking
Track trip progress through checkpoint updates, GPS integration feeds, or manual status entries. Flag delays and notify operations teams of exceptions.
POD & Delivery Confirmation
Record proof of delivery with date, time, receiver name, and document scans. Update consignment status and trigger billing eligibility for delivered shipments.
Billing & Settlement
Generate freight invoices for customers based on delivered LRs and rate contracts. Process transporter settlements reconciling hire charges, advances, and deductions.
Fleet and Revenue Reports for Logistics Operations
Track fleet utilization, delivery performance, billing status, and transporter settlements from dashboards built for freight and transportation data.
Branch-Wise Revenue and Consignment Volume
View booking revenue, consignment counts, and average freight per shipment across branches to compare operational throughput and revenue contribution by location.
Fleet Utilization by Vehicle Type
Analyse trip frequency, idle days, and loaded vs empty kilometres per vehicle category to identify underutilized fleet segments and optimize vehicle allocation.
On-Time Delivery Rate Trend
Track the percentage of consignments delivered within committed transit times over weekly or monthly periods to measure service reliability across routes.
Pending POD Ageing Report
List all consignments with unconfirmed proof of delivery sorted by age, branch, and customer to prioritize POD collection and unblock billing cycles.
Transporter Settlement Reconciliation
Summarize trip-wise hire charges, advances issued, deductions applied, and balance payable per transporter to streamline vendor payment processing.
Trip Profitability Dashboard
Compare freight revenue earned per trip against total trip expenses — diesel, tolls, loading charges, hire costs — to identify profitable and loss-making routes.

Logistics & Transportation ERP — FAQ
Yes. The system supports branch-wise operations with separate booking, dispatch, and billing workflows per branch, while providing consolidated reporting and inter-branch consignment transfers at the head office level.
T3 Logistics ERP can receive location feeds from GPS tracking providers and display vehicle positions against active trips. The specific integration depends on your GPS provider and device setup.
Freight charges are auto-calculated from rate contracts at the time of billing. Each invoice links back to the LR, trip sheet, and POD record, providing a clear audit trail to resolve discrepancies with customers or transporters.
Yes. The system distinguishes between owned and hired vehicles. For owned fleet, it tracks maintenance and running costs. For hired vehicles, it manages transporter rates, advance payments, and settlement workflows.
T3 Logistics ERP supports multiple billing modes including per ton, per kilometre, per trip, per package, and slab-based rates. Different billing modes can be applied per customer or per route as defined in the rate contract.
Implementation typically takes 6 to 10 weeks depending on the number of branches, complexity of rate structures, fleet size, and integration requirements. We provide dedicated support during the transition period.
