- Logistics runs on consignments and trips, not simple invoices — freight billing has its own rules.
- Generic software can't handle LRs, to-pay/paid freight, lorry hire, e-way bills or fleet costs.
- A custom ERP connects booking, dispatch, fleet, warehouse and billing into one live view.
- The margin lives in truck utilisation and fuel — exactly what an ERP makes visible.
- Wizix builds a custom logistics ERP from ₹49,999, with AI for routing and ETAs on top.
Logistics is deceptively complex. A single load involves a consignment note (LR), freight that may be paid, to-pay or to-be-billed, a hired or owned truck, fuel, driver, an e-way bill, and finally billing to the client. Run it on generic accounting software and the pieces never connect — you can't tell which trips made money or where fuel and truck time were wasted. Logistics ERP software ties booking, dispatch, fleet, warehouse and billing together so the whole operation is finally visible.
Why generic software fails logistics
Transport and supply-chain work doesn't fit an item-and-invoice model:
- No consignment / lorry receipt (LR) booking and tracking
- No paid / to-pay / to-be-billed freight logic or lorry-hire accounting
- No fleet costs — fuel, mileage, tyres, maintenance, permits, FC/insurance expiry
- No warehouse inbound, picking, dispatch or 3PL billing
- GTA GST and e-way bills handled manually
- No trip-wise or vehicle-wise profitability
An empty return trip, a truck idle for two days, or unrecorded fuel all quietly erase margin. Without trip- and vehicle-level data, these losses are invisible until the year-end books — far too late to fix.
What logistics ERP software must do
1. Booking, dispatch & freight billing
- Consignment (LR) booking with paid / to-pay / TBB freight
- Trip sheets, lorry hire and broker accounting
- Client freight billing with GTA GST and e-way bill
- POD (proof of delivery) capture and follow-up
2. Fleet management
- Vehicle master with fuel, mileage and maintenance history
- Driver, permit, insurance and FC expiry alerts
- Vehicle-wise cost and profitability
3. Warehouse & supply chain
- Inbound / GRN, bin locations, picking and dispatch
- Batch / FIFO-FEFO and stock accuracy
- 3PL / client-wise storage and handling billing
Why custom ERP beats off-the-shelf for logistics
A full-truck-load transporter, a parcel/part-load operator, a cold-chain mover and a 3PL warehouse all work differently. Off-the-shelf products force one model on all of them. Wizix builds a custom ERP around your freight terms, trip flows and billing formats — so it matches your operation instead of the reverse.
As a custom-ERP and AI partner, Wizix can add AI on top — route and load optimisation, ETA prediction, and predictive maintenance that flags a breakdown before it strands a load.
