Software for logistics companies

What breaks generic software here

The specifics a vendor demo will gloss over unless you raise them.

• E-way bills are mandatory above the threshold and generating them by hand does not scale
• Drivers and field staff are never at a desk
• Freight billing depends on weight, distance and route, not a flat rate
• Proof of delivery has to be captured and retrievable months later
• Fuel, maintenance and driver costs decide margin and are easy to lose track of
