Cloudesk Logistics & fleet

Every consignment, from the dock to the door.

Ship delivery challans from Sales with a transporter (LR number) or courier (AWB), or load them onto a trip in your own vehicle. Freight is worked out from each carrier's rate card, the status is kept as it moves, the customer can follow it on a tracking page, and proof of delivery closes the challan. Your vehicles' insurance, PUC and permits are flagged before they lapse, and the fuel log shows real mileage and cost per kilometre.

How it works

Three steps, no surprises

1
Ship it
Pick the challans going to one customer, choose a carrier or your own fleet, and enter the weight and boxes. Freight is estimated from the rate card for that lane.
2
Move it
Picked up, in transit, out for delivery, held up — each step is kept with a note, and the customer's tracking page shows it.
3
Close it
Record who received it. The challan is marked delivered in Sales, and on-time delivery is counted against the promised day.

In detail

What you get with Cloudesk Logistics & fleet

Rate cards

Per carrier and lane (state to state, or any), rate per kg, minimum and fixed charges, and volumetric weight for couriers.

Good to know

We'd rather be upfront than surprise you later:

Courier and transporter tracking isn't pulled from their systems — update the status yourself, or open the carrier's own tracking link from the shipment.
There's no route optimisation or live GPS; stops are in the order you set. E-way bills are generated in Accounting and their number recorded here.
Freight charged to customers is recorded on the shipment; add it to the invoice as a line.

Questions people ask

How is freight worked out?+

From the carrier's rate card for the lane — the most specific match of from-state and to-state — the chargeable weight (actual or volumetric, whichever is more) times the rate per kg, at least the minimum, plus any fixed charge. You can change it on the shipment.

How is mileage measured?+

Between two fills to the top, the kilometres driven divided by the litres put in at the second fill. Partial fills in between are added to the next full one.
