The Challenge
BestLine had grown to serve corporate and retail clients across multiple South Indian cities. But growth had exposed the cracks in their manual systems. The operations team was drowning in inbound customer calls, the accounts team was spending 4 days every month reconciling invoices, and branch managers had no consolidated visibility across locations.
❌ 50+ daily tracking calls
No real-time visibility meant customers called the office for every update.❌ 4-day billing cycle
Month-end reconciliation across 10 branches took 3–4 full working days.❌ Rate card errors
Corporate clients had individual rates. Manual application caused frequent invoice disputes.❌ No DRS tracking
Daily cash collected by delivery agents was tracked on paper — reconciliation gaps weekly.❌ No ePOD
Delivery disputes had no digital proof — credit notes raised, revenue reversed.❌ Branch silos
Each branch ran independently. No consolidated MIS for management.eCargo Modules Deployed
