Booking apps for your customers, driver apps with live tracking and photo proof of delivery, and a fleet dashboard that shows trips, diesel advances and pending PODs in one place.
Reply within one business day · Navi Mumbai team · Website, app and admin under one roof
Three apps that share one set of trips: customer, driver and office.
A website that wins freight and courier enquiries from shippers searching by route, vehicle type or service.
A customer booking app and a driver app, built to work on low-cost Android phones and patchy highway networks.
The office side: trips, vehicles, drivers, billing and the paperwork every trip needs.
A logistics business makes money on trips and loses it in the gaps between them. A truck waits empty because nobody knew it was free. A driver takes a Rs 15,000 diesel advance and the settlement happens two weeks later from memory. A customer refuses to pay the freight bill because the POD copy never reached the office. The right software closes these gaps: every trip has a status, every rupee given to a driver is recorded, and every delivery has a photo and a time stamp.
This page is for transporters and fleet owners running trucks and tempos, container movers around JNPT and Nhava Sheva, warehouse and 3PL operators in Bhiwandi, last-mile and courier firms, packers and movers, and taxi or staff-transport operators. Some of you need a customer booking app. Most of you need a driver app and an office dashboard first.
Infoways builds logistics apps and websites from Mahape, Navi Mumbai, a short drive from the port, Turbhe and the Thane-Belapur road. We build the customer app, the driver app and the admin panel as one system, and connect it to the tools you already use for GPS, billing and accounts.
You can start small: a driver app with photo POD and expenses, used by your own fleet, often pays for itself before you ever put a booking app in front of customers.
Every item here is a daily problem for a fleet office.
Freight is billed only when the POD reaches the office. A photo POD with receiver name and OTP lands the moment the material is delivered, so the bill goes out the same day.
Diesel, toll, loading and police expenses are entered on the trip with a photo of the bill. Settlement takes minutes, not an argument.
A tracking link sent on WhatsApp shows the vehicle on the map, so your office stops making calls to drivers on the highway.
The dashboard shows which vehicles are free, where, and since when, so you can book a return load instead of running back empty.
Fitness, permit, insurance, PUC and driver licence dates are stored per vehicle, with alerts before they expire and the vehicle gets stopped.
Freight earned minus diesel, tolls, driver pay and halting on every trip shows which customers and lanes are profitable and which are not.

Most fleet owners do not need an Uber-style app on day one. Here is how the options compare.
| Driver app + office dashboard | Customer booking app added | On-demand marketplace | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who it suits | Own-fleet transporters and courier firms | Firms with many repeat shippers who book often | Platforms matching shippers with outside vehicle owners |
| Main features | Trip list, GPS, photo POD, expenses, document alerts | Fare estimate, booking, tracking link, invoices online | Bidding or auto-assign, owner onboarding, payouts, ratings |
| Payments | Freight bills to accounts | UPI and card through Razorpay or Cashfree | Collections, commission and vehicle-owner payouts |
| Typical range (GST extra) | Rs 4-12 lakh | Rs 10-25 lakh with live tracking | Rs 12-40 lakh or more |
| Typical time | 2-4 months | 4-6 months | 6-9 months in phases |
Ranges depend on scope. Our article on on-demand app lessons from Uber explains what a full marketplace really involves.
Say you run 40 trucks, mostly moving containers and cargo between JNPT, the CFS yards and warehouses in Bhiwandi, with some long trips to Pune and Surat. Your office has three people on the phone all day and a whiteboard of vehicle numbers. All figures here are only an example.
A shipper's coordinator sends a booking for two 32-foot trucks for tomorrow morning. Your dispatcher opens the dashboard, sees which vehicles are free near Nhava Sheva, and assigns them. Each driver gets the trip on his app with the pickup location, consignee details and the e-way bill number your office has generated. The shipper gets a WhatsApp message with a tracking link for each truck.
Before leaving, the driver records a Rs 8,000 diesel advance and later adds Rs 1,240 in tolls (pulled from your FASTag statement if you connect it) and Rs 600 for unloading, each with a photo of the slip. On reaching the warehouse, the store keeper gives an OTP from his own SMS, and the driver takes a photo of the signed LR. The POD shows up in your office the same minute.
That evening, accounts raises the freight bill with the POD attached and sends it on email. At month end, you see that this shipper's lane earned Rs 24,000 per trip on average against Rs 17,500 in costs, while another customer's Surat trips barely broke even because of long halting at the factory gate. That is the kind of decision you cannot make from a whiteboard.
We follow how a booking becomes a trip, an LR, a POD and a bill in your office today, and note every paper and phone call involved.
We check whether to use phone GPS, your existing vehicle trackers, or both, so tracking works even when drivers switch phones.
Big buttons, few words, Hindi and Marathi labels, and screens that work with one hand. Drivers test the design before we build it.
Driver app and dashboard first, then billing and reports, then the customer booking app if needed. Each milestone is usable on its own.
A few trucks run the app on real trips, including ghat sections and low-network stretches, so offline saving and battery use are proven.
Apps go live, the website goes to Google, and we can run local SEO and Google Ads for freight and courier enquiries.
A website for a transport or courier company, with service pages, a quote form and LR tracking, typically costs Rs 1-4 lakh. A driver app with an office dashboard, photo POD, expenses and document alerts is a mid-complexity build at roughly Rs 4-12 lakh. Adding a customer booking app with live tracking puts it in the on-demand range of Rs 10-25 lakh. A full marketplace that onboards outside vehicle owners, runs bidding or auto-assignment and handles payouts is Rs 12-40 lakh or more. GST is extra, and yearly upkeep is usually 15-25% of the build cost.
Cost goes up with real-time features (live location every few seconds, auto-assignment, surge pricing), with multiple vehicle and load types, and with integrations to many GPS vendors. It comes down if you start with your own fleet only and use the phone's GPS. Maps and SMS usage also have running costs that grow with trips, so we estimate those before you commit. See app development cost in India and how long it takes to build an app for more detail.
The most common mistake is building a customer booking app before the driver side works. If drivers do not update trips, the customer's tracking link shows nothing, and your brand looks worse than before. Get the driver app adopted first, and give drivers a reason to use it, such as faster settlement of their advances.
Second, do not rely on phone GPS alone for high-value cargo. Drivers switch off data, change phones or let the battery die. Where it matters, use the GPS device already fitted on the vehicle and treat the phone as a backup. Third, do not copy a ride-hailing app feature by feature. Freight is booked differently: loads, vehicle sizes, waiting charges and part payments matter more than a one-tap ride button.
If you have fewer than ten vehicles and a handful of fixed customers, a shared spreadsheet, WhatsApp groups and a good GPS tracker subscription may be enough for now. Build the app when the office starts losing track of trips and money.
We will point out where money is leaking and which app would fix it first. The first call is free.
Yes, if the device vendor gives an API or data feed. We pull locations into your dashboard so you see every vehicle on one map, alongside drivers using phone GPS.
Yes. Trip updates, expenses, photos and GPS points are saved on the phone and uploaded when the network returns, which matters on highways and ghat roads.
At delivery, the driver takes a photo of the signed LR or invoice, and the receiver gives an OTP sent to their phone or signs on screen. The POD is stored with time and location.
We connect to the e-way bill system through a GST Suvidha Provider so your office can generate e-way bills and update the vehicle number from the dashboard. The legal responsibility for correct details stays with you.
Yes. We design driver screens with simple labels in Hindi, Marathi or English, with icons and voice-friendly flows so drivers who read little can still use it.
Yes. Customers can pay by UPI, card or net banking through Razorpay, PhonePe or Cashfree, either fully in advance or in parts. Corporate accounts can be billed monthly.
Yes. Passenger apps need rider booking, driver allocation, fare rules and trip sharing for safety. The core of driver app, tracking and dashboard is similar to freight.
You do. The code, store listings, servers and all trip and customer data are in your name.
Yes, and we usually recommend it. Once drivers use it daily, adding a customer booking app on top is much easier.
