Custom Logistics Management Software Development
Orchestrate multi-modal freight forwarding, automate Lorry Receipts (LR/CN), optimize hub sortation, and capture digital Proof of Delivery (POD) with a custom Transportation Management System (TMS).
What is Logistics Management Software Development?
Our custom logistics management software coordinates freight movements from shipper pickup to final mile delivery. It handles computerized consignment booking (Lorry Receipts / LR), line-haul vehicle dispatch manifest creation, transshipment hub sortation, freight rate quotation calculation, automated e-way bill compliance, and mobile digital Proof of Delivery (POD) capture.
Who Needs It: Full-truckload (FTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) transporters, freight forwarders, third-party logistics (3PL) providers, express parcel courier networks, and intermodal freight operators.
Business Challenges Solved: Stops consignment tracking blind spots between transshipment hubs, eliminates billing disputes caused by lost paper delivery receipts, automates complex weight-distance freight pricing, and prevents delivery SLA penalties.
Why Custom Over Off-the-Shelf: Generic transport software cannot adapt to specialized hub-and-spoke routes, lacks integration with Indian FASTag and e-way bill portals, and charges monthly fees per truck or consignment. A custom logistics platform from Arvis Digital provides complete operational control with zero per-consignment fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers regarding customization, data ownership, integration capabilities, and deployment options for logistics management software development.
How does Logistics Management Software differ from Fleet Management Software?
Logistics Management Software (TMS) manages the commercial movement of freight: booking Lorry Receipts (LR), calculating volumetric rates, hub sortation, client billing, e-way bills, and digital Proof of Delivery (POD). Fleet Management Software focuses strictly on the physical vehicles and drivers: GPS telematics, fuel tank sensor monitoring, engine diagnostic codes, driver behavior scoring, and tire rotation maintenance.
How does the digital Proof of Delivery (e-POD) mobile app work?
When the delivery driver reaches the consignee, they open the app, display the consignment details, and hand the phone to the receiver to sign on the screen. The driver takes a photo of the unloaded goods and enters an OTP sent to the customer’s phone. The signed POD uploads to the cloud immediately, allowing your billing team to invoice the client.
Can the software handle Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) parcel sortation through multiple hubs?
Yes. The system is engineered for multi-hub logistics networks. A consignment booked in Chennai and destined for Delhi can be tracked as it passes through intermediate sorting hubs in Bangalore and Nagpur, verifying scans at every transfer.
Does it integrate with government GST E-Way Bill APIs in India?
Yes. We connect with official GST Suvidha Providers (GSPs) to generate e-way bills, verify active validity, and automatically extend validity periods if a vehicle encounters highway delays or breakdowns.
How does the system calculate volumetric weight versus actual weight?
When box dimensions (Length x Breadth x Height in cm) are entered, the system calculates volumetric weight using standard industry divisors (e.g., L x B x H / 5000) and automatically bills the client for whichever is higher: dead weight or volumetric weight.
Can consignors track their shipments on our website?
Yes. We provide an embeddable public tracking widget where clients enter their LR number or mobile number to view visual progress milestones, from booking to out-for-delivery and final signature.
