Logistics ERP for India

Logistics operations in India involve navigating a transportation network that spans road, rail, air, and coastal shipping, each governed by different regulatory authorities and documentation requirements. Road transport, which handles over 70% of freight movement, requires e-way bill generation for every consignment valued above 50,000 rupees. The e-way bill system integrates with GST, linking each shipment to its corresponding tax invoice and tracking goods movement across state borders. Transporters must update vehicle numbers and transit points through the e-way bill portal, and bills expire based on distance, requiring extensions for delayed deliveries.

Logistics in India

GST on logistics services follows a reverse charge mechanism for goods transport agencies serving registered businesses. This means the recipient of the service pays GST instead of the transporter, creating accounting entries that differ from standard purchase transactions. Freight forwarding, warehousing, and customs brokerage each attract different GST rates and documentation requirements. Multi-modal transport involving rail and road combinations requires coordination between Indian Railways freight booking systems and road transport management.

Warehouse operations in India must account for state-level entry tax remnants in some jurisdictions, FSSAI requirements for food storage facilities, and the Warehouse Development and Regulatory Authority (WDRA) norms for negotiable warehouse receipts. Cold chain logistics adds temperature monitoring requirements and wastage tracking that affect inventory valuation.

Yukti provides logistics companies with shipment management that automatically generates e-way bills, tracks consignment status across vehicle transfers, and handles the reverse charge GST mechanism for GTA services. The fleet management module monitors vehicle utilization, fuel consumption with current Indian fuel price integration, driver assignment with license validity tracking, and maintenance schedules based on Indian road conditions. Warehouse management supports multi-client third-party logistics with client-wise billing, space utilization tracking, and WDRA-compliant documentation. The system calculates freight rates based on distance, weight, and route, accounting for toll charges on national highways and state roads.
