What is Pando?

Pando is a Chennai-founded supply-chain software company (copyright holder Quaking Aspen Pvt Ltd) that sells a transportation management system for shippers. The product is now marketed as a multi-modal TMS in two editions, Domestic and International, on top of a shared data and workflow platform. Named customers on pando.ai include Marico, Godrej, CEAT, Castrol, Nivea and Skyworks, which tells you the target: manufacturers, distributors and retailers moving serious freight volumes, not a ten-truck transporter.

On the domestic side Pando handles load consolidation and 3D load planning, mode selection, multi-stop route optimisation, carrier tendering and rate management, live tracking through carrier APIs and GPS, dock scheduling and private fleet dispatch, with proof-of-delivery capture in the last mile. Pando says shippers get access to a network of 40,000+ carriers. The International edition adds multi-leg journey planning, container loading, document extraction from invoices and packing lists, customs documentation with duty calculation, and ocean and air freight booking.

The gaps matter for Indian buyers. Pando's current product pages are written for a global audience and do not mention e-way bills, GST or FASTag, so confirm how Indian compliance is handled before you shortlist it. Freight audit is referred to only in general terms, and security is described as adherence to ISO, SOC and CSA standards without certificate details. There is no shipper mobile app described, only integrated driver apps for private fleets.

There is no public price. Pando sells through a 30-minute product demo and an enterprise contract, and it claims customers see results within 90 days of going live. Budget for an implementation project that includes ERP integration: Pando names connections to SAP and Oracle ERPs, Kinaxis and o9 planning tools and project44 visibility, and publishes API documentation at tms-docs.pando.ai.

What works well

  • −Product pages do not mention e-way bill, GST or FASTag handling
  • −Security page names ISO, SOC and CSA standards without listing actual certificates
  • −Freight audit and payment is only described in general terms, not as a module
  • −No shipper-facing mobile app is described; only driver apps for private fleets
  • −Built for enterprises, so small transporters and SMEs will find it too heavy

Pando — frequently asked questions

What is Pando's price in India?+

Pando does not publish pricing in INR or USD. It sells its transportation management system through a 30-minute product demo followed by an enterprise quote, which depends on the editions you take (Domestic, International or both), shipment volumes and integration scope. Ask for GST to be shown separately in any Indian proposal, and budget for an implementation project alongside the subscription.

Does Pando offer a free trial?+

Pando has no free plan or self-serve free trial. The vendor offers a free 30-minute product demo with no obligation. Because the TMS is usually connected to an ERP such as SAP and to carrier systems, evaluation normally happens through a demo and a scoped pilot negotiated with the sales team rather than a public trial account.

What does Pando's Domestic TMS do?+

Pando's Domestic TMS covers load consolidation and 3D load planning, mode selection, multi-stop route optimisation, carrier tendering and rate management, live shipment tracking with predictive ETAs, dock scheduling, private fleet dispatch and proof-of-delivery capture. Pando says shippers can reach a network of more than 40,000 carriers through the platform, and analytics track carrier performance and cost trends.

Can Pando handle import and export shipments?+

Yes. Pando's International TMS plans multi-leg journeys across ocean, air and road, optimises container loading, extracts data from commercial invoices and packing lists, prepares customs documentation with duty calculations, and tracks vessels and air shipments. It also coordinates freight forwarders and customs brokers on one platform and monitors route risks such as weather and geopolitical events.

Does Pando integrate with SAP?+

Yes. Pando's International TMS page names connections to SAP and Oracle for order management and financial processing, to Kinaxis and o9 for planning, and to project44 for ocean container tracking, and Pando has announced a partnership with Indian telematics firm FleetX. Microsoft Dynamics or other systems should be confirmed in the demo. Developers can use Pando's public API documentation at tms-docs.pando.ai for custom work.

Does Pando support e-way bills and GST?+

Pando's current Domestic TMS product page does not mention e-way bill generation, GST handling or FASTag. Indian shippers who need e-way bills raised or validated from the TMS should ask Pando to demonstrate this specifically, or confirm whether it is handled in their ERP instead, before signing a contract.

Is there a Pando mobile app?+

Pando's product pages do not describe a mobile app for shipper logistics teams. They mention integrated driver apps as part of private fleet optimisation, used for dispatch and tracking. Most users work in the web platform, so if your plant or depot staff need mobile access for gate-in, loading or POD, ask Pando to show it in the demo.

How secure is Pando?+

Pando says its platform follows ISO, SOC and CSA standards, runs with multi-availability-zone resilience, and uses encryption, access controls, threat detection, patching and vulnerability scanning with compliance audits. The site does not list certificate numbers or audit dates, so enterprise buyers should request the actual ISO 27001 or SOC 2 reports during security review.

How long does Pando take to implement?+

Pando claims customers see results within 90 days. Real timelines depend on how many plants, carriers and ERP connections are in scope. A single-country domestic rollout with an SAP link is the fastest case, while adding international freight, customs and forwarder onboarding stretches the project. Plan for master data cleanup, carrier onboarding and user training.

How does Pando compare with other Indian TMS options?+

Pando targets large shippers with a broad multi-modal TMS covering procurement, planning, execution and international freight. Indian alternatives often focus on narrower jobs such as trip tracking or transporter management at lower cost. If you mainly need GPS tracking and trip sheets, Pando is more than you need; if you run carrier tenders and import-export volumes, it is worth a demo.
