GullySystem
Industry category · Logistics and supply chain

Count each movement once, then bill the client, pay the vendor and answer the claim from it.

Logistics and supply chain businesses carry goods that belong to someone else, across trucks, racks, chambers, couriers and cartons. Each handover changes a client’s stock or a consignment’s status. Billing, vendor payments and damage claims all depend on those handovers being recorded when they happen. These trades differ in what they move, but each needs one record per client, consignment or job, with proof attached.

At a glance

Seven trades sit here: road transport, third-party logistics, warehousing, freight forwarding, cold chain, e-commerce fulfilment and household relocation, which together move, store and hand over other people’s goods every day. They differ in cargo and in equipment. What they share is that the goods are a client’s, and the client expects to know where they are and what they cost.

The day is a run of handovers. A truck is loaded and a lorry receipt written. A pallet is put away and a GRN noted. A carton is numbered at packing, and a courier collects a manifest. Each handover should change a record at the moment it happens, because the month’s invoice, the vendor’s payment and any later claim are all drawn from those same records.

Proof travels with the goods. A signed POD, a counted GRN, a temperature log or a numbered carton list settles a dispute. It is often held by a driver, a checker or a logger instead of the office.

The trades

Software for each kind of logistics and supply chain business.

Logistics and transport companies

Logistics and transport companies run on paper lorry receipts, trip sheets, diesel advances and attached lorries on broker hire, and freight is billed only after the signed POD returns. The paperwork is the money. The system handles booking, the LR or bilty, trip expenses, POD capture on the driver’s phone and freight billing, so paper stops holding up the bill.

Third-party logistics companies

A third-party logistics company moves and stores goods for several clients at once, each on its own contract. Rates differ by client, lane and service, and the invoice at month end depends on counting what was handled. GullySystem would build one record from booking to delivery. Storage, trucking and extra services are then billed against each client’s contract and checked against the movements actually recorded.

Warehousing companies

Warehousing and 3PL companies store goods for many clients under one roof. Each client sends inward loads, asks for dispatches and expects a stock statement, while the warehouse bills storage by pallet, square foot or CBM. GullySystem would build one record for inward, putaway, picking and outward. Storage and handling charges are then worked out from those same movements, so client stock and the month’s bill agree.

Freight forwarders

Freight forwarders move export and import cargo by sea and air through shipping lines, airlines, CHAs, transporters and overseas agents. A job’s quote, booking, house bill draft, buying costs and selling invoice usually sit in separate mailboxes and spreadsheets. GullySystem would build one job file per shipment with the documents, charges bought and sold, milestones and agent account on it. Each job’s margin can then be read before the file closes.

Cold chain companies

Cold chain companies store and move goods that spoil outside a set range, such as dairy, frozen food, fruit and pharma. Some run chambers, some run reefer trucks, many run both. Clients ask for a temperature record with every lot and every delivery. GullySystem reads chamber sensors into alerts and history, runs reefer trips and freight bills in a transport system, and builds storage rent to your contract.

E-commerce fulfilment centres

An e-commerce fulfilment centre stores stock for online sellers and ships their orders to buyers. Orders arrive from marketplaces, a seller’s own store and WhatsApp, and returns come back on every channel. GullySystem would build one record from inward to delivery and return. Each seller then sees its own stock, orders and settlement, and the centre bills storage, pick and pack from what was handled.

Packers and movers

Packers and movers run on pre-move surveys, item-wise quotations, crews, lorry bookings and a handwritten inventory that decides every damage claim. The system turns a survey into a quotation, schedules crews and vehicles, and numbers every carton at packing for the tally at delivery. A carton missing at the destination is then checked against the record.

What they share

Where these businesses lose time and money.

Proof comes back late or not at all

A signed POD, a counted GRN or a delivery tally sits with a driver or a checker, and the bill cannot go out without it. The invoice waits on that paper.

Stock and status are read by calling

Clients ask where a consignment is or what sits on a rack, and staff answer by ringing a driver or walking an aisle. The same call repeats.

Extra charges are counted after the fact

Storage days, detention, handling, hamali and extra labour are added to the invoice from chits and memory at month end. Small items drop out.

Vendor costs and client bills sit apart

Hire paid to a broker, charges from a shipping line or a courier remittance are tracked in one place, and the client’s bill in another. Margin is known late.

Claims need records from several places

A damage or shortage claim needs the inward count, the loading record and the delivery proof, each kept in its own register. Replies are slow to assemble.

What the software does

What we build across logistics and supply chain.

One record per client, job or consignment

Open a single file for each client contract, forwarding job, trip or household move, and attach every party, document and charge to it. Questions are then answered from that file and not from three inboxes.

Contract rates held as data

Store each client’s rate by pallet, carton, trip, tonne, lane or weight slab, with its validity dates. A booking is then priced from the contract it falls under and not from the biller’s memory.

Movements recorded where they happen

Capture inward, putaway, picking, loading, delivery and return on a phone or a handheld at the dock, the gate or the doorstep. Label scanning is added where the work is counted by carton or pallet.

Proof attached to the movement

Link the signed delivery copy, the damage note, the numbered carton list or the temperature history to the consignment, lot or job it belongs to. A claim then opens with its evidence already in the file.

Billing drawn from recorded activity

Draft the invoice or statement from the trips, storage days, handling events and extra charges already on record. Show the matching vendor cost beside it, so the margin on a job is visible while the file is open.

Client and vendor views kept apart

Give each client a login to its own stock, orders and statements. Keep hired vehicles, shipping lines, couriers and overseas agents in accounts of their own, settled against the jobs they worked.

Common questions

Questions logistics and supply chain businesses ask.

Does one product fit every trade in this group?

No. The transport product covers road freight and the trips of a cold chain fleet, and the relocation product covers household moves, with surveys, numbered cartons and damage claims. Warehousing, forwarding, third-party logistics and fulfilment are built as custom systems around your own contracts and floor.

Can it read GPS, FASTag or courier tracking?

Yes, where the provider shares it. A feed is read into the trip. Which devices and courier links are possible is confirmed during scoping, and the hardware stays in your name.

Will it raise e-way bills or file customs documents?

No. E-way bills are raised on the government portal, and customs filing stays with your broker. The consignment or job can hold the reference numbers and the copies that come back.

Is software needed for a small operation?

Not always. An owner with one lorry may manage with a diary, and a godown with a few clients and full-pallet movements may manage with a register and a monthly statement. Software helps as volume grows.
