Fleet management software for Indian transporters —
every rupee, litre and document traced to a truck.
Yukti AI builds custom fleet management software and transport ERP for truck owners and transport businesses in Surat, Gujarat and across India: trips with photo proof, fuel management and anomaly review, vehicle maintenance, tyres, document expiry reminders, truck EMI tracking, contracts, invoices with e-invoice and e-way bill, and a profit and loss for every truck — with an AI layer that explains the numbers and automation that stops where money starts.

Fleet management software tracks a transport business's trucks, drivers, trips, fuel, maintenance, documents, loans and invoices in one place, so the owner can see the profit and the problems for every truck. For an Indian fleet it also has to handle GST, e-invoice and e-way bill, EMIs and permit and insurance renewals. Yukti AI builds it custom, from ₹30,000, with a final quote after a free workflow audit.
Why is a truck fleet hard to run on generic software?
A transport business earns money slowly and spends it fast. Diesel is bought at many pumps, trucks are financed through EMIs, every vehicle carries a dozen documents that expire on different dates, and invoices to government and large corporate customers are often paid on 45 to 60 day cycles. Accounting software sees invoices, a GPS tracker sees location, and a spreadsheet sees whatever someone typed in. None of them ties a litre of diesel to a trip, a trip to a contract and a contract to the profit of one truck.
- Diesel is the biggest cost you can control. It leaks through cash fills, unregistered pumps and mileage drift nobody notices until the month is over.
- Documents can stop a truck. A lapsed permit, insurance or fitness certificate is a dispatch risk.
- EMIs hide in the bank statement. A loan debit not mapped to the right truck quietly distorts that truck's profit.
- Invoices age. Receivables outside the payment cycle need chasing, and each bill needs the right e-invoice and e-way bill paperwork.
The design rule in the system we built is simple: every financial row carries a truck wherever the business allows it, plus the driver, trip, contract and vendor where known. That is what lets truck lifetime cost, cost per km, revenue, profit and return be answered without rebuilding anything.
Who is this transport ERP built for?
- Contract transporters running freight for government departments, PSUs or large corporates, where bills are paid on long cycles.
- Truck owners with financed vehicles, where EMIs for different trucks are debited from different banks on different days.
- Fleet owners who run the business from a phone, relying on calls and WhatsApp to know which truck is where and which permit expires next month.
- Mixed fleets of tippers, tractor-trailers and multi-axle trucks, where mileage, tyre wear and service intervals differ per vehicle.
- Logistics companies in Surat and Gujarat that have outgrown Excel and want one truck fleet management system rather than a GPS app, an accounting package and a diary that never agree.
It is less suited to a business that only needs live GPS tracking, or a two-truck operator happy with a notebook. The value comes from tying diesel, documents, service, loans and billing to each truck. For the wider sector, see AI automation for logistics and transport.
What does fleet management software from Yukti AI include?
This module list comes from the transport ERP we built for Shree Momai Transport & Travels, a Surat truck fleet running government and PSU contracts. We build only what your fleet needs; everything reads one dataset, so the dashboard, the reports and a truck's ledger cannot disagree.
| Module | What it does | Why it matters for a transport business |
|---|---|---|
| Owner dashboard & live fleet board | Fleet position on one screen with a daily briefing; every truck's status (Available, Running, Idle, Workshop, Breakdown); a map from GPS positions | The owner sees what changed and where to look first |
| GPS alerts & route replay | GPS alerts, route replay and driver-behaviour views; a watch rule for offline devices; fallback to driver-entered odometer readings | A dead tracker is noticed in minutes, not weeks |
| Trucks & Truck 360 | Each truck's documents, trips, fuel, maintenance, tyres, loan and EMIs, costs, revenue, profit and an insight panel | One place to answer how a particular truck is really doing |
| Drivers & driver app | Driver profiles with licence, assigned truck and advance balance; a phone-width driver app to start and end trips, upload odometer and fuel-gauge photos, enter diesel and raise requests | Evidence is captured at the source, not over the phone |
| Trip management | Trip start and end with odometer and gauge photos stamped with time, GPS and user; proof of delivery; km, mileage, cost per km and trip profit calculated | Trip data is calculated, not typed, so it can be trusted |
| Fuel management & anomaly review | Diesel ledger; before-meter and full-tank photos; GST bill read by OCR you confirm; each truck's actual km/L against its own benchmark; a review queue marked Review Required or Watch; litres reconciliation | Mileage drift is looked at in the week it happens |
| Vehicle maintenance | Job cards from issue to close, workshop board, preventive service by km and days | Service is proposed before it is overdue |
| Tyres & batteries | Wheel layout by axle position, tread tracking, tyre life and tyre cost per km, replacement-due list | Tyre spend is planned instead of urgent |
| Document vault & expiry reminders | Insurance, fitness, permit, PUC, road tax and driver licences with an expiry calendar, a 60/30/15/7/3/1-day reminder ladder and version history | A lapsed document is caught before the truck leaves the yard |
| Expenses & approvals | Vouchers by category and truck; smart checks for cash fills at unregistered pumps and GST credit leakage; one approval queue | Every rupee is tied to a truck and a decision |
| Truck EMI tracking & bank mapping | Loan, EMI schedule, principal, interest and outstanding per truck; bank statement rows matched to a truck with a confidence score for the owner to approve | EMIs stop hiding in the bank statement and distorting truck profit |
| Contracts, invoices, e-invoice & e-way bill | Customers, contracts and routes; invoice drafts from delivered trips; e-invoice and e-way bill screens; receivables ageing; an accounting bridge | Government and PSU bills go out faster and get chased on time |
| 39 reports & truck P&L | Fleet, fuel, maintenance, tyre, finance and compliance reports, each with a written summary; truck P&L as revenue less diesel, toll, maintenance, tyres, EMI, driver cost and compliance | Profit per truck, not just for the fleet |
| Roles & audit log | Owner, manager, accountant and driver views, approvals and an audit log | Each person sees their part, and every change has a name on it |
How does fuel anomaly review work?
The anomaly engine compares each truck's actual mileage with its own expected km/L and looks at fill patterns. A reconciliation compares litres expected from distance with litres billed and shows the variance in rupees. Smart checks also pick up cash fills at unregistered pumps. People often search for diesel theft detection software, but the system is deliberately careful: a flag reads Review Required or Watch, states what was observed and why, and never labels anyone a thief. Nothing is auto-rejected — a person decides.
How do document expiry reminders work?
Every truck and driver document — insurance, fitness, permit, PUC, road tax, licence — lives in one vault with its expiry date. A reminder ladder works backwards from that date at 60, 30, 15, 7, 3 and 1 days, alerts the owner and fleet manager, can prepare the renewal list for an RTO agent on WhatsApp and raises a renewal task. A rule proposes holding dispatch if a required document has lapsed. Replacing a document creates a new version, so the history is kept.
How is truck EMI tracking handled?
Each truck's loan, EMI schedule, principal, interest and outstanding are tracked. When a bank statement is imported, the narration, amount and EMI day are matched to propose which truck a debit belongs to, with a confidence score and a plain-language reason. The owner approves, the EMI voucher posts to that truck's ledger and the bank row is reconciled. Uncertain rows are left unmatched rather than guessed, because a wrong mapping silently distorts a truck's P&L.
Does it handle e-way bill and e-invoice for transporters?
Invoice screens cover drafting from delivered trips, e-invoice and e-way bill, behind interfaces for the e-invoice portal and the e-way bill system. In the prototype these are mock adapters, so no real e-invoice or e-way bill is issued; connecting the providers is the integration step in a production build. Receivables ageing shows invoices past their cycle, and a follow-up rule proposes reminders.
Which reports does it include?
| Report group | Number of reports | What it answers |
|---|---|---|
| Fleet | 5 | Utilisation, vehicle status, km, GPS health, idle trucks |
| Fuel | 6 | Consumption, mileage, fuel cost, variance, driver-wise fuel, anomalies |
| Maintenance | 6 | Maintenance cost, service history, cost per km, breakdowns, workshop spend, parts |
| Tyres | 4 | Tyre life, tread, cost and cost per km |
| Finance | 10 | Truck and contract P&L, receivables, EMIs, expenses and cash |
| Compliance | 8 | Document status, expiries and renewals |
How does a transport business day change?
The middle column describes how many Indian fleets typically run these jobs by hand — a general description, not a quote from any client and not a measured result. The right column is what the system does.
| Job | Typical manual way | With this fleet management software |
|---|---|---|
| Starting a trip | Driver calls the office; someone writes the odometer reading in a register | Driver picks the truck and contract in the app, photographs the odometer and fuel gauge; the start is stamped with time, GPS and user |
| Ending a trip | Readings and POD arrive days later on WhatsApp | End odometer, gauge photo and POD captured on the spot; km, mileage, cost per km and trip profit calculated |
| Diesel fill | Bill kept in a file, entered into Excel at month end | Before-meter photo, litres and rate, full-tank photo and GST bill, then approval and a voucher on that truck |
| Checking mileage | Someone notices a high diesel bill weeks later | Each truck compared with its own expected km/L; outliers land in a review queue |
| Document renewals | Dates in a diary; a lapse is found at a checkpost | Vault with reminders at 60, 30, 15, 7, 3 and 1 days, and a rule that proposes holding dispatch |
| Servicing | Done when the driver complains | Preventive schedule by km and days proposes a job card first |
| EMIs | Bank statement scanned by eye | Narration, amount and EMI day matched to propose a truck; the owner approves |
| Billing | Invoices typed from trip registers; follow-ups by memory | Invoice drafts from delivered trips; ageing shows what is past the 45–60 day cycle |
| Knowing profit | A year-end estimate for the whole fleet | A P&L for every truck |
How does AI help fleet management — and where does it stop?
The system computes every figure first, in one analytics layer. The AI layer then reads those computed facts and decides what is worth telling the owner, in plain language. It never creates a number of its own — which is what makes it safe to rely on in a business where a wrong number means a wrong payment.
- Daily owner briefing — trucks needing attention, documents near expiry, approvals waiting and the money position.
- Report summaries — a written paragraph at the top of each of the 39 reports.
- Per-truck insight on mileage, service, documents and profit, on every Truck 360 profile.
- Predictive maintenance notes from km, days and job history, a 30-day cash forecast from receivables, EMI schedules and running costs, and approval recommendations with reasoning.
- Fleet AI assistant — answers questions from the same calculations the reports use, and says so when it cannot answer instead of inventing a figure.
Honest note: in the prototype these sentences are assembled by deterministic code from the computed facts, not by a language model. A hosted LLM is planned as a swap-in adapter that would improve the wording; the figures would stay exactly the same because they never come from the model.
Automation for transportWhat does automation do for a transport business?
Most work in a transport office is not difficult, it is repetitive: remembering, reminding, copying a figure and asking a driver for a photo. The build holds 16 automation rules, split visibly so the owner knows where the system acts and where it waits.
| Kind | Rules |
|---|---|
| Acts on its own (6) | Document expiry ladder; EMI due reminder 5 days and 1 day before; hourly accounting sync; GPS offline watch every 30 minutes; hourly trip delay alert; driver evidence reminder |
| Proposes and waits for a person (9) | Hold dispatch on a lapsed document; preventive service scheduling; tyre tread watch; fuel anomaly hold; mileage drift detection; bank statement EMI matching; bill OCR and auto-fill; invoice draft from delivered trips; overdue invoice follow-up |
| Paused (1) | Idle truck to contract matching |
The principle is that automation stops where money starts: rules that would move money, approve a bill or dispatch a vehicle prepare the work and queue it, and a person presses the button. In the prototype the rules evaluate live data on a simulated schedule. For the same pattern elsewhere, see workflow automation in Surat.

| Shree Momai fleet ERP | Society Auto booking app | |
|---|---|---|
| Business | A Surat truck fleet running government and PSU contracts | A private residential society in Gujarat with its own auto-rickshaw drivers |
| What it does | Trips, fuel, maintenance, tyres, documents, EMIs, contracts, invoices, 39 reports, AI briefing and 16 automation rules on one dataset, with a driver app | Member booking, a driver app and an admin dashboard; round-robin driver allocation with 25 seconds to accept; live tracking; ride OTP |
| Sample scale | 12 trucks, 15 drivers and 120 days of generated history (sample data) | Fixed society fares per destination, set by the office |
| Status | Working clickable prototype on sample data with mock integrations; forms do not persist; not a live deployment | Built in about 7 days; the interactive version is public, with Android and iPhone apps in the rollout scope |
We are clear about status: the fleet ERP is a prototype built so the owner can review every screen before integrations are paid for, and this page claims no savings or results from it. Society Auto shows the driver-dispatch side — fair allocation, a driver app built for drivers who are not comfortable with technology, and an office that watches every booking live.

How much does fleet management software cost, and how long does it take?
A custom ERP from Yukti AI starts from ₹30,000. A full transport ERP with trips, fuel, maintenance, documents, EMIs, billing, reports and live integrations costs more; the final quote comes after a free workflow audit, once we know your fleet size, modules and which GPS, accounting and GST providers to connect.
On timing: Focused builds — a Shopify store, one automation, a single-module system — typically take about 7–10 days. A multi-module ERP or CRM usually takes a few weeks depending on scope. A document vault with expiry reminders or a fuel review module on its own is a focused build; the full fleet ERP is a multi-module build.
The free audit is a 30-minute call. We go through how trips, diesel, documents, EMIs and billing are handled today and where the leaks and the late nights are. Clear scope, no obligation. See also how much custom ERP costs in India.
Why a custom fleet ERP instead of off-the-shelf fleet software?
Packaged fleet tools are often strongest on GPS tracking, and general accounting tools on invoices. A transporter needs both, plus the Indian specifics in between: GST bills for diesel, e-way bills, FASTag tolls, EMI days, permits and long government payment cycles. A custom build lets the data model match how your fleet actually runs, and a clickable prototype first means you review every screen before any integration is paid for.
