Transport Company Software Built Around Every Trip You Dispatch

A transport company runs on trips, not tickets: a vehicle loads at the yard, a driver is assigned, freight moves, and it has to be billed the moment it is delivered.

Why It Matters

Built For Transport Companies

Built Around How Trips Actually Run

Every trip, vehicle and driver tracked the way dispatch works. A transport company's real workflow is trip-wise: a vehicle is assigned, a driver is assigned, freight is loaded, and the trip is billed once delivered.

  • Trip-wise manifest and status tracked end to end.
  • Vehicle and driver assignment visible before dispatch.

ERP, Software and AI Working Together

Freight billing and route data connected to your existing ERP. A transport company's ERP usually stops at the accounting entry.

  • Custom software for the workflow a standard module skips.
  • AI automation for route, fuel and cost pattern flags.

What It Covers

Trip, Billing and Vehicle Tracking for Transport Companies

Every trip visible from dispatch to delivery

Each trip is logged with its manifest, route and current status, so dispatch always knows which vehicles are loading, in transit or delivered without calling a driver to ask.

  • Trip status tracked in real time by dispatch.
  • Manifest details attached to each trip record.
  • History kept per vehicle and per route.

Freight Billing & Invoicing

Invoices generated from the trip record, not a separate estimate. Freight billing pulls directly from the completed trip and manifest data, connected to your existing ERP, so invoices reflect what was actually moved instead of a reconstructed guess at month end.

  • Billing tied to completed trips, not a manual log.
  • Invoice data connected to your existing ERP.
  • Disputes checked against a specific trip record.

Sub-contracted vehicles tracked next to your own fleet

When a trip runs on a sub-contracted vehicle, it is tracked and billed the same way as your owned fleet, so vendor cost and performance are visible alongside your own trips rather than in a separate spreadsheet.

  • Vendor trips tracked on the same manifest system.
  • Sub-contract billing reconciled against trip data.
  • Vendor performance visible next to owned fleet trips.

What's Included

The trip, billing and vehicle data your dispatch team needs

Trip & Manifest Tracking

Every trip logged trip-wise from dispatch to delivery, with status visible to your team in one place.

Route & Fuel Cost Tracking

Route and fuel data tracked per trip and per vehicle, so cost drivers show up early, not at reconciliation.

Customer & Consignment Tracking

Consignments tracked by customer, so a status or billing question can be answered against a specific trip.

Scope

We agree the ERP, custom software and AI pieces and a fixed timeline for you to review.

Step 3

Build

Trip tracking, billing and route integrations are built and tested against your actual manifests.

Step 4

Launch

The system goes live and is watched closely through the first weeks of real trips.

Step 5

Support

The same team stays available for support and changes as your fleet and routes grow.

    A 3PL operator took bookings on calls, tracked stored goods on paper, and waited days for proof of delivery before billing. ERPNext joined bookings, warehouse, trips and billing into one system.

FAQ

Questions we are asked

What does TCB Infotech actually do for a transport company?

We track your trips, vehicle and driver assignment, and freight billing trip-wise, and connect that data to your existing ERP. Where a workflow needs something a standard module does not cover, we build the custom software or AI automation for it, scoped around how your dispatch team actually runs trips.

Does this replace our existing ERP or transport management system?

No. The software and AI we build connects to your existing ERP or transport management system rather than asking you to replace it, so trip, billing and vehicle data flow into the systems you already run.

Can it help with proof of delivery and freight billing disputes?

Yes. Trip-wise manifest and consignment records give you a traceable history for each shipment, which makes it easier to resolve freight billing disputes and answer customer or compliance questions about a specific trip.

How long does a typical transport company engagement take?

Most engagements move from mapping your current dispatch and billing process to a working pilot within a few months. Scope and timeline are confirmed after we review how your trips, vehicles and billing work today.

What support do we get once the system is live?

The same team that builds your trip and billing tracking stays available for support and changes after go-live, as your fleet, routes or customer base change.

Can ERP integration, custom software and AI be combined into one engagement?

Yes. Most transport company engagements combine ERP integration, a piece of custom software for a workflow a standard module does not cover, and AI where it removes manual tracking work, scoped and billed as one project.
