Smart Part Truckload Management System
India's most complete PTL platform — manage multi-consignment bookings, hub-to-hub tracking, barcode scanning, and per-customer billing on shared trucks in one connected cloud system. Built for Indian surface transport networks.
What Is a Smart Part Truckload Management System?
A Smart Part Truckload (PTL) Management System is a digital platform that manages the complete lifecycle of shared-truck shipments — where multiple consignors' goods travel together on the same vehicle, each billed and tracked independently.
PTL — also called LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) in some markets — is the backbone of India's surface transport industry. Goods manufacturers, FMCG distributors, pharma companies, and e-commerce businesses regularly ship quantities that are too large for courier but too small to justify a full truck. PTL networks solve this by consolidating freight from multiple consignors, routing it through hub terminals, and delivering each consignment to its respective destination.
The operational complexity of PTL is far higher than FTL. A single truck may carry 15 to 40 different consignments from different customers, each with its own LR number, E-Way Bill, delivery address, rate contract, POD requirement, and invoice. Without a purpose-built system, managing this accurately across multiple branches and hubs is nearly impossible — leading to lost parcels, billing errors, delayed PODs, and unhappy customers.
LogiBrisk Smart PTL Management System digitises every step — from multi-LR booking and UBI barcode scanning at each hub, to hub-wise inventory reconciliation, per-consignor invoicing, digital POD collection, and collection management — in a single cloud platform designed specifically for Indian PTL operators.

PTL vs FTL — Understanding the Difference
A direct comparison of operational and routing differences between full load and part load networks.
| Dimension | FTL (Full Truck) | PTL (Part Truck) |
|---|---|---|
| Consignors per truck | 1 customer | 10–40 customers |
| LR numbers per trip | 1 LR | Multiple LRs |
| Billing | 1 invoice per trip | Separate invoice per LR |
| Tracking | Vehicle-level GPS | Parcel-level UBI scan |
| Route structure | Direct door-to-door | Hub → Hub → Destination |
| Cost structure | Entire truck cost | Pay per kg/CFT used |
| POD management | 1 POD per trip | Individual POD per LR |
| Complexity | Medium | High — multi-party |
Core Capabilities of the Smart PTL Management System
Six integrated capability pillars that manage the full complexity of multi-consignment PTL operations across hubs, branches, and delivery points.
CAPABILITY 01: LR Consignment Booking
Book multiple consignments from different customers simultaneously — each with a unique LR number, independent E-Way Bill, and separate rate application. No batching delays, no manual re-entry.

- Customer rate contract applied automatically from master
- Invoice no, declared value are auto captured
- Booking confirmation sent to consignor via WhatsApp instantly
CAPABILITY 02: UBI Series Barcode Scanning
Every carton, box, or parcel is tagged with a UBI (Unique Barcode Identifier) sticker at origin. Parcels are scanned at every hub checkpoint — ensuring real-time piece-level tracking and eliminating loss through the network.
- Unique barcode label printed per box at time of booking, from mobile and web
- Scan-in and scan-out recorded at every hub terminal
- DEPS Auto raised if expected vs scanned count mismatches
- Field staff can use website in mobile devices for scanning — no dedicated hardware

Key Features of Smart PTL Management Software
Every feature addresses the real operational challenges of running a PTL surface transport network in India — consignment accuracy, hub efficiency, billing correctness, and customer visibility.
01 — LR Booking via EWB (5–10s)
Accept consignment details from the booking screen or scan an existing E-Way Bill to auto-populate all shipment data. System creates the LR, applies the rate, and generates a digital booking confirmation — all in under 10 seconds per consignment.
02 — UBI Scanning & Barcode stickers
Print UBI barcode stickers for every parcel or carton at the time of booking. Scan barcodes at origin, each hub, and destination using a mobile device or scanner. Every piece is accounted for at every point in the network — with automatic discrepancy alerts if counts mismatch.
03 — Hub Stock Reconciliation
Each hub maintains a live stock register updated automatically as parcels are scanned in and out. Branch managers see pending stock, in-transit consignments, and undelivered LRs in real time — without any manual register maintenance.
04 — Customer & Vendor Rate Management
Maintain per-route, per-commodity, and per-vehicle-type rate contracts for both customers (billing rate) and vendors (payment rate). Rates are applied automatically on each LR booking — eliminating rate disputes and under-billing.
05 — E-Way Bill Auto Extension
LogiBrisk monitors EWB validity for every active LR in transit. When an EWB is at risk of expiring at a checkpoint, an automatic alert is sent to the operations team and the bill can be extended in one click — without logging in to the NIC portal separately.
06 — Sales Invoices Per LR / Customer
Each consignment gets its own GST-compliant invoice generated automatically at the configured trigger point — booking confirmation, vehicle departure, or POD verification. Multiple customers, multiple invoices, zero manual effort. Invoice dispatched to the customer instantly via WhatsApp or email.
07 — Digital POD & Same-day Billing
Delivery agents upload the signed proof of delivery from the consignee's location using the LogiBrisk mobile app. Once verified by the operations team, the customer invoice is automatically raised — closing the billing cycle the same day as delivery.
08 — Customer Portal & WhatsApp
Consignors can log in to the customer portal to track their LR status, view delivery updates, download invoices, and access POD documents — without calling your branch. Automated WhatsApp and SMS alerts are sent at booking, dispatch, hub transit, and delivery milestones.
09 — Multi-Branch & Multi-Hub Operations
Manage your entire branch network from a single login. Each branch operates independently with its own LR series, vehicles, and billing — but the head office gets a consolidated view of all branches' bookings, stock, collections, and performance in real time.
10 — MIS & Analytics — Branch & Route
Live management dashboard with branch-wise booking volumes, route-wise profitability, customer revenue ranking, vehicle utilisation, pending collections, and hub performance metrics. Managers get full operational intelligence without waiting for manual reports.
