• For transporters

• Guides

• Bilty Software for Transporters: What to Look ForBilty software prints the lorry receipt (LR). Good bilty software also checks GSTINs, generates the e-way bill from the LR on NIC, drafts the trip, matches the POD, raises the freight bill and posts the accounting entry, so one consignment is never typed twice.
• Lorry Receipt vs Consignment Note, Bill of Lading, ChallanA lorry receipt, consignment note, bilty and goods receipt (GR) are the same road-transport document, issued by the transporter. A bill of lading is the sea and multimodal equivalent and usually a document of title. A delivery challan is issued by the supplier, and an e-way bill is the GST document for goods in movement.
• E-way Bill Software for Transporters: Part-B and ExtensionE-way bill penalties for transporters usually come from Part-B not updated after a vehicle change, bills expiring on the road, and details typed twice. Validity is one day per 200 km (20 km for over-dimensional cargo), and a bill can be extended within eight hours before or after expiry. Software should generate from the LR, watch Part-B and extend by ETA.
• Accounting Software for Transport Business in IndiaAccounting for a transport business needs more than invoices and ledgers: paid, to-pay and to-be-billed freight, driver hisab per trip, vehicle cost centres, GST on freight under forward or reverse charge, TDS under Section 194C, and lane margin after the empty return. The fastest offices let every document post its own journal entry.
• Transport Management Software Price in IndiaTransport management software in India is priced per vehicle, per user, per LR or per deployment, so quotes are only comparable at your own size. Compare the total yearly cost, including setup, data migration, e-way bill and e-invoice API charges, WhatsApp messaging, tracking hardware and what happens when your volume doubles.
• AI Agents for Transport Companies: What Actually WorksAI agents already help transport companies answer truck and LR status on WhatsApp, read PODs from photos, watch e-way bill Part-B and expiry, route approvals and raise alerts. The safe design is that the language model only classifies the request, every number comes from the company’s records, and every write is confirmed by a person.
• Fleet Control Room and Video Wall: What to ShowA useful fleet video wall shows exceptions with an owner, not just a map. Twelve panes cover most transporters: live map, trip delays, gate, e-way bills expiring, detention, ePOD, driver desk, tyres, stores, challans, lane P&L and a 13-week cash view. The same rules should alert the right person on WhatsApp.
• WhatsApp for Transport Business: Status, POD, ApprovalsWhatsApp groups stop working as a transport fleet grows. A WhatsApp desk on the Business Platform (Cloud API), connected to GPS, the LR register and POD, lets customers get status and tracking links, drivers send PODs and SOS, and branches request approvals, with every message logged and access limited by role.
• Lane Profitability for Transporters: Margin After ReturnLane profitability is the margin on a route after diesel, FASTag tolls, driver cost, detention, vehicle cost and the cost of the empty return. Reviewed weekly, it shows which lanes to reprice, where to find back-loads, where to charge detention and which customers’ payment days wipe out their margin.
• Bilty App, GPS Tracker or Full TMS: Which Do You Need?Bilty apps print LRs, GPS trackers show location, and accounting software keeps books, but none runs the whole consignment. A full transport management system puts the bilty, e-way bill, trip, POD, bill, accounts and lane margin on one record. Use a single tool while it is enough; move to a full TMS when the gaps between tools cost more than the tools.
• Transport Business KPIs Every Owner Should TrackTen KPIs run a transport business: trip margin, lane margin after the empty return, revenue per km, empty km %, vehicle utilisation, on-time delivery, POD TAT, billing lag, DSO and fuel efficiency. Review margins, receivables and utilisation every Monday, and exceptions daily.

• Calculators

• E-way Bill Validity CalculatorE-way bill validity is one day per 200 km or part of it for normal cargo and one day per 20 km for over-dimensional cargo; extension is allowed within eight hours before or after expiry. This free calculator gives the validity in days for any distance.
• Truck Trip Profit CalculatorTruck trip margin = freight − diesel (including the empty return) − tolls − driver and other trip costs. This free calculator shows margin, margin per km, diesel cost and how much a back-load would add.
• TDS on Freight Calculator (Section 194C)TDS on freight under Section 194C is generally 1% for individuals and HUFs and 2% for others, subject to thresholds, and nil for a transporter owning ten or fewer goods carriages who gives a PAN declaration under 194C(6). This free calculator estimates TDS and the net payable.
• Truck Detention Charges CalculatorTruck detention = waiting time beyond the contract’s free time × the agreed rate, by day (part day counts) or by hour. This free calculator gives chargeable hours, billing units and the detention amount.

• Industries

• Transport Software for Full Truckload (FTL) TransportersFull-truckload transporters need the LR, NIC e-way bill, trip and driver hisab, POD, freight bill and accounts on one record, plus hire slips for market vehicles and lane margin after the empty return. SCM for Transporter runs that chain with a WhatsApp desk and 22 alert rules.
• Transport Software for Part Load (PTL) TransportersPart-load (PTL) transporters move many LRs per truck through booking branches and hubs, so they need branch-wise LR numbering, consolidated e-way bills, Part-B updates on transshipment, to-pay collection and LR status for every consignor. SCM for Transporter handles these on one record.
• Transport Software for Car CarriersCar carriers move high-value vehicles on specialised trailers for OEMs and dealers, so they need condition photos at delivery, dealer delivery tracking, e-way bills on NIC, driver hisab and careful lane margin because trailers often return empty. SCM for Transporter is live with a car-carrier fleet.
• Transport Software for Tanker TransportersTanker transporters carry regulated liquids and gases, so their software must watch vehicle and driver document expiry, GPS gaps and route deviations, breakdowns and SOS, and challans linked to the driver, alongside trips, contract billing and accounts.
• Transport Software for Brokers and Fleet AggregatorsTransport brokers and aggregators run on market vehicles, so they need hire slips, vendor bills and payment indents, advance and balance tracking, TDS under Section 194C with 194C(6) declarations, customer billing and margin per trip. SCM for Transporter drafts vendor bills from hire slips automatically.

• Integrations

• NIC E-way Bill API Integration for TransportersA direct NIC e-way bill API connection lets transporters generate e-way bills from the LR, update Part-B, consolidate, extend and cancel without typing on the portal. SCM for Transporter uses API v1.03 per GSTIN through the company’s GSP, logs every call and explains NIC error codes.
• ULIP Vahan and Sarathi for Vehicle and Driver ChecksULIP gives transporters API access to Vahan vehicle records and Sarathi driving licences, so fleets and hired trucks can be verified in bulk. SCM for Transporter shows a diff preview before changing records, alerts 15 days before documents expire and can draft renewal tasks.
• FASTag Toll Data for Trips and CostsFASTag toll crossings give transporters both cost and location: pulled every 30 minutes through ULIP, matched to the trip by vehicle and time, and added to trip expenses. In SCM for Transporter they flow into lane margin automatically.
• E-Challan Data Linked to the DriverE-challan data pulled daily through ULIP can be linked to the driver who had the vehicle at that time, so challans stop being an unrecovered company cost. SCM for Transporter assigns the driver and applies the company’s recovery rule automatically.
• WhatsApp Cloud API for Transport CompaniesTransport companies need the WhatsApp Business Platform (Cloud API), not the Business app, to serve staff, drivers and customers from one number with approved templates and an audit trail. SCM for Transporter connects directly with 25 templates per company, a console and a daily digest.
• E-invoice and GST Checks for TransportersTransporters billing GST-registered customers need an e-invoice queue, GSTIN checks and alerts when a party’s GSTIN becomes inactive, and GSTR-1 exported from the same books. SCM for Transporter drafts bills from delivered LRs and runs them through these checks.
• Tally Export for Transport SoftwareTransport software can keep its own double-entry books and still export to Tally for the CA: ledgers, vouchers and balances for locked periods, one-way, so nothing is typed twice. SCM for Transporter posts a balanced journal for every financial document and exports to Tally.
• GPS Device Integration for Transport FleetsTransport software should read the fleet’s existing GPS devices, not replace them. SCM for Transporter pulls devices every 2 minutes for pings, geofences and milestones, shows positions on the map and in WhatsApp, alerts on delay, offline, deviation and detention risk, and updates LR status from milestones.

• Playbooks

• POD Pending: Getting Billed FasterTransporters get billed faster by collecting POD as a WhatsApp photo at unloading, reading the LR number, stamp, signature and date automatically, unblocking billing on match and chasing pending PODs on a rhythm. SCM for Transporter alerts after 24 hours (AR-04) and drafts bills for delivered LRs.
• Unbilled LRs: Closing the Billing GapUnbilled LRs are delivered freight not yet invoiced. Close the gap by drafting bills automatically from delivered LRs with POD, grouped by billing cycle, reviewing a daily unbilled digest and tracking billing lag by branch. SCM for Transporter sends the digest after 7 days (AR-15).
• Overdue Freight Collection for TransportersTransporters cut overdue freight by reminding customers before the due date, sending statements once bills are over 30 days, applying receipts to the oldest bills and escalating by rule. SCM for Transporter runs AR-07 and AR-08 on WhatsApp and tracks DSO and ageing by customer.
• Vehicle Document Expiry: No Truck Stopped for PaperVehicle documents such as fitness, permits, insurance, PUC and driving licences should be tracked per vehicle and driver, verified in bulk through ULIP, alerted 15 days before expiry and renewed by an owner, with expired vehicles blocked from assignment. SCM for Transporter runs AR-12 and drafts renewals.
• Truck Breakdown and SOS ResponseOn a truck breakdown, the driver sends an SOS with location on WhatsApp, operations, management and maintenance are alerted at once, a job card opens, Part-B is updated if another vehicle takes over, and the customer gets a new ETA. SCM for Transporter runs this as AR-10 and F-12.
• Detention Charges: Proving and Claiming ThemTransporters recover detention by agreeing free time and rates, recording arrival and release with geofences and POD photos, alerting before free time runs out and raising claims with timestamps. SCM for Transporter flags detention risk every 30 minutes (AR-13).
• E-way Bill Cancellation Window for TransportersAn e-way bill for a cancelled load must be cancelled within the window the rules allow, generally 24 hours from generation if goods have not moved. SCM for Transporter alerts at 20 hours when the LR has not started (AR-22), and separately when a bill expires on the road (AR-21).
• Traffic Challans: Linking Them to DriversTraffic challans against fleet vehicles can be linked to the driver by matching challan time with driver assignment, then handled by the company’s recovery rule in the driver’s settlement. SCM for Transporter pulls challans daily through ULIP and runs F-13 and F-18.

• Comparisons

• Tally vs Transport Software: What Each DoesTally handles ledgers, GST and TDS well but not bilty and LRs, e-way bills from the LR, trips and driver hisab, POD-based billing, fleet maintenance or lane margin. Run operations in transport software that posts its own entries, and export locked periods to Tally for the CA.
• Own Fleet vs Market Vehicles for TransportersOwn trucks carry fixed costs and full control and suit lanes with steady volume and back-loads; market vehicles are variable cost and suit peaks and one-way demand. Most transporters run both, measuring margin per trip for each, verifying hired trucks and handling TDS correctly.

• For freight procurement

• Guides

• Freight Bidding Platform: How It Works and What to AskA freight bidding platform sends a load to many truck owners and brokers, collects their rates before a closing time, ranks them and records the award. Before choosing one, check how vendors bid (an app or WhatsApp), what happens when nobody bids, whether prices show each vendor’s record, and whether bids are compared with what you last paid.
• Reverse Auction in Freight: How It Works and Its RisksIn a freight reverse auction, truck owners and brokers bid down on a load and the lowest acceptable bid (L1) usually wins. It brings rates to the market when many qualified vendors serve a lane, but needs safeguards: reminders and extensions, vendor win rate and drop-offs beside the price, and a comparison with the rate last paid.
• Spot vs Contract Freight Rates: Which to Use WhenA contract freight rate is agreed for a lane for months and buys stability; a spot rate is quoted for one load now and follows the market. Put steady, high-volume lanes on contract, bid irregular lanes and peaks on the spot market, and compare the two on the same lane every month.
• What Is an RFQ in Logistics? What to IncludeAn RFQ (request for quotation) in logistics asks transport vendors to quote a price for a defined job. A good freight RFQ states origin and destination, vehicle type, weight and volume, pickup time, any return trip, loading and payment terms, the closing time for quotes and the award rule, so bids are comparable.
• Transport Vendor Selection Criteria for ShippersTransport vendors should be selected on price plus record: responsiveness to invitations, reliability after winning (drop-offs), route and vehicle coverage, on-time and damage-free service, compliance and payment terms. Track these per vendor and use statuses such as Normal, Restricted, Suspended and Blacklisted.
• Freight Cost Reduction: 8 Levers for ShippersFreight cost falls when every load is bid to several vendors with a closing time, compared with the rate last paid on the lane, split between contract and spot rates, loaded fuller, bid with its return trip, freed from detention and kept away from unreliable vendors. Prove savings against a lane baseline.

• Calculators

• Freight Bid Savings CalculatorFreight bid savings per load = rate last paid on the lane − winning bid; multiply by similar loads for monthly and yearly estimates. This free calculator also flags thin participation, because fewer than three bids rarely reflects the market.

• Playbooks

• No Bids on a Load: Reminders and Auto-ExtensionWhen nobody bids on a load, send reminders before closing, extend the window automatically, check whether invitations were delivered and read, and widen the vendor list for that route. AutoBid sends reminders every 10 minutes near closing and extends by 30 minutes when there are no bids.
• Vendor Drop-offs After Winning a LoadA vendor drop-off is a load won and then not placed. Record each one, show drop-offs and win rate next to the vendor’s next bid, move repeat offenders to Restricted or Suspended, and re-bid quickly to vendors with a clean record. Drop-off rate = awarded loads not placed ÷ awarded loads.
• Bid vs Actual: Checking Freight Paid by LaneBid vs actual compares the freight rate awarded in bidding with the rate actually paid and with the lane’s previous rate. Pull actuals from the ERP, flag differences above a threshold, find loads booked outside bidding and review by lane and vendor every month.

• Comparisons

• WhatsApp Bidding vs Vendor Portal vs Email RFQFor spot freight with many small truck owners and brokers, WhatsApp bidding usually gets more participation than a vendor portal or email RFQs, because vendors reply in a chat they already use and delivery and read status are visible. Portals suit large contract tenders; email suits formal tenders with documents.

• For manufacturers

• Guides

• Supply Chain Control Tower for ManufacturersA supply chain control tower gives a manufacturer one ranked list of exceptions, late trucks, placement breaches, cold-chain excursions and short-dated stock, each with an owner and an action, on one definition per KPI. It reads ERP, carrier, GPS and gate data as they are, and pairs with a digital twin to test disruptions before they happen.
• OTIF vs Fill Rate vs DIFOT: Formulas and ExamplesOTIF (on time, in full) counts an order as a success only if it is both on time and complete; DIFOT is the same metric. Line and case fill rate measure quantity shipped regardless of time. One week can read 98% fill rate and 70% OTIF, so write down one definition: promise date, window, point of measurement and delay owner.
• FEFO vs FIFO: Expiry Management Across DepotsFIFO ships the stock that arrived first; FEFO ships the stock that expires first; LIFO ships the newest. For shelf-life products, FEFO prevents expiry, but write-offs are saved only when FEFO works across depots: ranking batches by shelf life against local demand and transferring them before they expire.
• Plant Truck Turnaround Time: Measure Every Gate StageTruck turnaround time (TAT) at a plant is gate-in to gate-out, and loading is usually a small part of it. Stamp eight stages per truck, from arrival outside the gate to POD, and measure the dwell between stamps by plant, shift and hour to find the real bottleneck: queueing, yard, dock or paperwork.
• Truck Load Planning Software: Weight, Height, Drop OrderTruck load planning decides which orders go on which truck and where each carton sits, within gross weight and axle limits, height, crush and compatibility rules, with the first drop loaded nearest the door. It saves money through fewer trucks, less damage, faster unloading and part-load consolidation.
• Freight Cost per Ton and per Km: How to Calculate ItFreight cost per ton is total freight cost, including detention and other charges, divided by tonnes delivered; cost per tonne-km divides by tonnes × km to compare lanes. Example: ₹47,000 for 18 tonnes over 600 km is ₹2,611 per ton and ₹4.35 per tonne-km. Filling trucks better lowers cost per ton directly.
• Carrier Scorecard: How to Rate Transporters FairlyA fair carrier scorecard attributes every delay to the shipper, customer or carrier with a reason, then scores four pillars: delivery, visibility, compliance and accountability (for example 40/25/20/15). Scores from 0 to 100, banded Excellent to Critical, drive allocation and quarterly reviews, calculated from data each carrier can inspect.
• Supply Chain Digital Twin vs Control TowerA supply chain digital twin is a model of plants, RDCs, lanes, carriers, stock and demand, kept close to reality by live data, used to test decisions such as a monsoon closure, a plant stop or a carrier exit. A control tower answers what is happening now; a twin answers what happens if. Build the twin on the tower’s live record.
• Logistics KPI Dictionary for ManufacturersA logistics KPI dictionary gives each number one written definition and target, computed the same way for the company, 3PL and carrier. Ten useful KPIs: OTIF (≥ 95%), placement SLA (≥ 95% within 12 h), gate TAT (≤ 2 h 30 m), load factor (≥ 93%), empty running (≤ 40%), damage rate (≤ 0.25%), checklist first-pass, hisab close time, ticket SLA and kg CO₂e per pallet.
• Freight CO₂e Calculation with ISO 14083 and GLECRoad freight CO₂e under ISO 14083 and the GLEC Framework is calculated per leg as weight (t) × distance (km) × an emission factor for the vehicle class and fuel. Example: 2.4 t × 850 km × 0.082 = 167.3 kg CO₂e. Flag missing weights, credit part-loads and report the factors used.

• Calculators

• Freight Cost per Ton CalculatorFreight cost per ton = (truck freight + detention and other charges) ÷ tonnes delivered; cost per tonne-km divides again by distance. This free calculator also shows load factor and what cost per ton would have been with a full truck.
• OTIF and Fill Rate CalculatorOTIF = orders delivered on time and in full ÷ total orders × 100; on-time delivery ignores quantity; case fill rate = cases delivered ÷ cases ordered. This free calculator shows all three side by side, which explains why teams report different service levels for the same week.
• Plant Truck Turnaround Time CalculatorPlant truck turnaround time is the sum of queue, gate formalities, yard wait, loading and paperwork; loading is often a small share. This free calculator totals the stages, shows loading’s share and the biggest stage, and compares the total with a 2 h 30 m gate TAT target.
• Freight CO₂e Calculator (ISO 14083 Method)Freight CO₂e for a road leg = weight (t) × distance (km) × an emission factor (kg CO₂e per tonne-km) for the vehicle class and fuel, the ISO 14083 / GLEC tonne-km method. This free calculator gives CO₂e per leg, tonne-km and monthly CO₂e using example factors.

• Industries

• Steel Logistics Control Tower for ManufacturersSteel logistics is dominated by heavy loads, long plant turnaround at shared weighbridges and yards, high-value goods prone to handling damage, and OEM delivery windows. A control tower for steel should watch gate and weighbridge dwell, placement, load factor within axle limits, damage with photo proof and delay ownership.
• Cement Logistics Control Tower for ManufacturersCement logistics is high-volume and low-value per tonne, so freight is a large share of delivered cost. A control tower for cement should watch gate and packer dwell, load factor, empty running, ETA to depots and sites, and carrier scores, with cost per tonne and per tonne-km as shared KPIs.
• FMCG Logistics Control Tower for ManufacturersFMCG logistics runs many SKUs through plants, RDCs, C&F agents and distributors, with short shelf lives, festive peaks and strict OTIF measurement by retailers. A control tower for FMCG should rank late trucks by RDC stock cover, watch batch shelf life against demand, placement in peaks and secondary delivery.
• Pharma Logistics Control Tower for ManufacturersPharma logistics adds temperature bands, batch traceability and audit evidence to every movement. A control tower for pharma should watch live temperature on every reefer, excursions with duration, batch location for recalls, FEFO across RDCs and carrier compliance, and keep the evidence QA needs.
• Chemicals Logistics Control Tower for ManufacturersChemical logistics adds safety to every step: loading checklists, valid driver and vehicle documents, route deviation, tankers and incident response. A control tower for chemicals should treat deviations and long stops as safety signals and track checklist first-pass rate alongside OTIF.
• Automotive Logistics Control Tower for ManufacturersAutomotive logistics depends on inbound milk runs arriving inside just-in-time line windows, container flows and damage-sensitive outbound dispatch. A control tower for automotive should watch milk-run ETA against the line window, gate and dock dwell, container status, damage with photo proof and carrier scores.

• Integrations

• ERP Dispatch Data into a Logistics Control TowerA logistics control tower should start from the ERP dispatch sheet: every trip, promise date, route distance and weight. SCM for Manufacturers parses and validates the daily sheet before writing anything, stages conflicts for a person and remembers decisions on the next upload.
• FASTag and SIM Tracking for Hired TrucksHired trucks can be tracked without installing GPS by combining FASTag toll-plaza reads with consent-based SIM location. SCM for Manufacturers uses them with GPS, carrier APIs and manual updates as five ping sources, filtered to the trip window, and counts a trip as Super Tracked only with a ping every day.
• GPS and Carrier Visibility API IntegrationA control tower should read carriers’ existing GPS trackers and visibility platforms through their APIs rather than ask carriers to change. SCM for Manufacturers filters pings to the trip window and computes ETA from each truck’s observed speed, falling back to 250 km/day with no pings.
• Gate ANPR and RFID Integration for PlantsANPR cameras and RFID tags read vehicle numbers at the plant gate automatically, giving exact gate-in and gate-out times and matching each vehicle to its indent and trip. In SCM for Manufacturers they feed the eight gate stages, with the supervisor’s handheld adding photos, loading sheets and checklists.
• Reefer Temperature Logger IntegrationReefer telematics and portable temperature loggers should feed the control tower live, mapped to vehicle, trip and batch, so excursions are caught in transit with their duration. SCM for Manufacturers shows a cold-chain band on every reefer and reports temperature compliance per transporter.
• Carrier MIS Files into the Control TowerCarrier MIS spreadsheets can feed a control tower without re-typing: files in any template are staged, rows matched to trips by LR series, and conflicts with GPS or gate data held for a person. SCM for Manufacturers remembers each decision on the next upload and scopes every carrier to its own trips.

• Playbooks

• Truck Placement SLA: Holding Carriers to ItTruck placement SLA measures whether a carrier’s vehicle reports at the holding yard within an agreed window after accepting an indent. Track it with a clock from acceptance and a yard stamp on arrival, escalate before breach, and feed breaches into the carrier scorecard. A common target is 95% within 12 hours.
• Temperature Excursion Response in TransitWhen a reefer crosses its temperature band, open an excursion automatically with start time and batch, alert the driver and carrier, route the duration and readings to QA, record QA’s decision against the trip, and count excursions per carrier. Measure excursions per 100 trips and minutes out of band.
• Transit Damage Claims with Photo ProofTransit damage claims succeed when photos are taken at loading and delivery, classified and tied to the trip, batch and carrier, so the claim is raised against the right party. Track damage rate as units damaged ÷ units delivered, per carrier, and feed it into the scorecard.
• RDC Arrival Intimation: No Surprise TrucksAn RDC arrival intimation tells the receiving warehouse what is coming, when and in which condition before the truck reaches the dock, updated as the ETA changes. It lets the RDC plan docks and labour, cuts unloading dwell and detention, and flags temperature or damage concerns early.
• Reducing Empty Running in Manufacturer FreightEmpty running is empty kilometres ÷ total kilometres. Manufacturers reduce it by measuring it per lane, pairing outbound loads with inbound raw material, planning milk runs and sharing backhauls with carriers, and report it alongside freight cost per tonne-km and CO₂e.
• Loading Safety Checklist: Checked, Not SignedA loading safety checklist should be captured with photos at the gate on a handheld, reviewed automatically, block the next stage until it passes, and be tracked as a first-pass rate per carrier. Define it per operation type: loading, unloading, customer pickup and export.
• How to Calculate Truck ETA and On-Time VerdictsTruck ETA is pending km ÷ the truck’s observed speed since billing, or 250 km/day before any pings. The on-time verdict compares arrival with the promise date in whole calendar days: on time (≤ 0), delay (+1) or super delay (+2 or more). ATA is the contractual test with no projection.

• Comparisons

• Control Tower vs TMS vs Yard Management SystemA yard management system runs the gate, yard and docks inside a plant; a TMS runs indents, carriers, trips and freight; a control tower ranks exceptions across plants, carriers, RDCs and stock with one KPI dictionary. Start with the yard if trucks wait inside the plant, then add TMS functions, then the tower on the same record.
• ERP vs TMS for Manufacturers: What Each Should DoAn ERP is the source for orders, invoices and dispatch; a TMS or control tower handles what happens after dispatch: indent and placement, gate dwell, tracking and ETA, delay ownership, carrier scores, claims and freight CO₂e. Connect them by reading the ERP dispatch sheet daily and sending settlement back, never keeping a trip in two places.
