Invoicing Software for Transport & Logistics Operators

Freight billing with the right reverse-charge or 12% forward-charge GST.

For Transport & logistics businesses

A goods transport agency bills freight per consignment or per trip, and GST here is unlike any other trade: most freight moves under reverse charge, where the recipient pays the tax, or under a 12% forward-charge option with input credit. Get the tax treatment wrong on the LR and the whole invoice is disputed.

How transport & logistics billing works

Transport billing is consignment- and trip-based, referenced to the LR / consignment note. 399Apps raises freight invoices with the correct SAC and the right GST treatment — reverse charge or 12% forward charge — keeps party-wise outstanding for credit customers, and ages receivables so long-haul payments don’t quietly slip past 60 days.

GST & TDS, handled right

Goods transport by road falls under SAC 9965 / 9967. A GTA can either let the recipient pay GST under reverse charge (RCM), or opt to charge 12% forward GST with input tax credit — the choice must be stated correctly on every invoice. 399Apps supports both so your consignment invoices carry the right tax treatment and your GSTR-1 reflects it.

The billing problems it solves

Different service, same trap — money earned that never quite gets billed or collected. Here's what 399Apps keeps straight for transport & logistics operators:

RCM vs forward charge

Bill freight under reverse charge or the 12% forward-charge option — stated right on each invoice.

Consignment references missing

Tie each freight invoice to its LR / consignment note for clean client reconciliation.

Long-haul credit slippage

Party-wise outstanding and AR aging surface the trips that have gone past 60 days.

GSTR-1 mismatches

Correct SAC and tax treatment flow into a GSTR-1-ready export with no manual fixes.

Adding partners, associates or account managers never raises the price.

FAQ

Invoicing software for transport & logistics operators — FAQ

Does 399Apps work for transport & logistics operators? +
Yes. 399Apps (Nidhi Books) is built for the way transport & logistics operators actually invoice. Transport billing is consignment- and trip-based, referenced to the LR / consignment note. 399Apps raises freight invoices with the correct SAC and the right GST treatment — reverse charge or 12% forward charge — keeps party-wise outstanding for credit customers, and ages receivables so long-haul payments don’t quietly slip past 60 days.
How does GST and TDS work for transport & logistics businesses in 399Apps? +
Goods transport by road falls under SAC 9965 / 9967. A GTA can either let the recipient pay GST under reverse charge (RCM), or opt to charge 12% forward GST with input tax credit — the choice must be stated correctly on every invoice. 399Apps supports both so your consignment invoices carry the right tax treatment and your GSTR-1 reflects it.
How much does invoicing software cost for a transport & logistics business? +
A flat ₹399/month for your first app and ₹99/month for each additional app or add-on — the same price across India, with no per-user licence and no per-invoice fee. A solo professional and a growing transport & logistics firm pay the same base price.
Can I track who still owes me and follow up on time? +
Yes. Every invoice carries a due date, and AR Aging buckets receivables into current, 1–30, 31–60, 61–90 and 90+ days overdue with per-client outstanding — so you chase the slippers before the money is really late, without a manual ledger.
Can I run it on the cloud or on my own server? +
Both. Run 399Apps fully managed on the 399apps cloud with daily backups and an India data region, or self-host it on your own server for complete data ownership. The same invoicing and GST features work either way.
