Challenges Faced by Logistics & Transport Businesses

Freight billing with distance and weight calculations

Freight rates depend on distance, weight, volume, and route — calculating these manually for hundreds of consignments daily is error-prone. ASTech ERP supports freight rate matrices and calculates consignment-wise billing automatically.

GST under Goods Transport Agency (GTA) rules

GTA services have special GST provisions — recipients pay GST under RCM in some cases, GTA pays under forward charge in others. Getting this wrong attracts scrutiny. ASTech ERP applies the correct GST treatment based on the service recipient type.

Vehicle maintenance cost tracking

Unplanned vehicle breakdowns are costly. Tracking fuel, tyre, and service expenses per vehicle without a system makes it impossible to identify high-cost vehicles or plan preventive maintenance. ASTech ERP tracks all costs per vehicle registration number.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does freight billing work in ASTech ERP?+
You define freight rate cards for different routes or distance slabs. When creating a consignment, the system calculates the freight charge based on the applicable rate card and weight/volume. Lorry receipts (LR) are generated with all mandatory details.
How is GST handled for GTA services?+
Under GTA rules, GST can be paid by the recipient under RCM or by the transporter under forward charge. ASTech ERP generates invoices with the correct GST treatment based on your registration status and the recipient type.
Can I track vehicle-wise fuel and maintenance expenses?+
Yes. All fuel fill-ups, tyre replacements, and service costs are recorded against the vehicle registration number. Vehicle-wise cost reports show cost per kilometre, helping you identify inefficient vehicles.
How do I track driver advances and trip expenses?+
Driver advances are recorded and settled against trip expense vouchers. The balance advance or expense claim is calculated automatically, keeping driver accounts clean.
Does ASTech ERP support e-way bill generation for consignments?+
Yes. E-way bills are generated for consignments above ₹50,000 directly from the system. The e-way bill number is recorded on the lorry receipt and can be extended or cancelled if the consignment is delayed.
