Key Takeaways

  • A transport business needs two different things: knowing where each truck is (GPS and telematics), and knowing what each trip earned (lorry receipts, freight bills, diesel, driver advances, tyres and repairs, GST). Few products do both.
  • Fleetx and LocoNav start from tracking: live location, video cameras and fuel monitoring. Fleetx also lists a TMS and a transport ERP. Neither publishes a price.
  • Fretron describes itself as a fulfilment platform for consumer brands, with sections for manufacturers, 3PLs and freight forwarders. Its page does not name transporters or fleet owners.
  • Rebota starts from the money side: trip sheets, lorry receipts, driver trip settlement, diesel, tyres, maintenance, freight invoices with GST, payroll and the accounts. It does not track vehicles by GPS. Starter ₹9,832 for the first year, then ₹11,990 a year, up to 5 users, plus GST.

How this guide was put together #

Rebota makes software for transporters, and this page is ours. Each product is described only from what its maker publishes on its own site, read on 9 November 2026. Where a page does not mention something, we write "not stated": the product may still have it, so ask. ChatGPT also names Tazalo TMS for this question; we could not find its maker's page, so it is not described here.

Five questions that sort the list #

  1. Do you own the trucks, or hire them? Fleet owners need vehicles, drivers, diesel, tyres and repairs. Brokers and transporters who hire market vehicles need lorry receipts, hire charges and freight bills.
  2. Do you need live location? Tracking needs GPS devices or phone apps, and usually a monthly charge per vehicle. Ask what hardware is included.
  3. How do you settle with drivers? Advances, diesel paid on the road, tolls and expenses need a trip settlement, not a notebook.
  4. How do you bill? Per trip, per tonne or per kilometre, with lorry receipts attached, GST on freight, and e-way bills on the goods you carry.
  5. Where are your books? If accounts stay in Tally, ask each vendor how trips and freight bills reach Tally. If not, choose software that keeps the accounts too.

Tracking first: Fleetx and LocoNav #

  • Fleetx (fleetx.io now opens fleetx.ai) lists a Transport Management System to "plan, dispatch, and settle freight end to end", Video & Camera, Fleet Visibility with real-time vehicle tracking, Fuel Monitoring, and a Transport ERP. No price is published; you request a demo. Trips, tyres, maintenance, e-way bills, lorry receipts and GST invoicing are not named on its home page.
  • LocoNav describes a single platform to track, monitor and manage vehicles, assets, fuel and expenses: GPS tracking, trip management, video telematics, fuel usage analytics with pilferage detection, and driver scorecards, with sensors and a supported-hardware list. No price is published; you request a demo. E-way bills, freight billing and GST are not stated on its home page.

Freight for shippers and 3PLs: Fretron #

Fretron calls itself a fulfilment platform for consumer brands, with order, warehouse and transport management. Its page has sections for manufacturers (steel, cement, chemicals, automotive, EPC) and for 3PLs and freight forwarders, and lists freight procurement and carrier management, ePOD and claims, freight billing and settlement, and links to SAP, Oracle and Tally. It says pricing is worked out one-on-one. Transporters and fleet owners are not named as an audience on the page.

Trips, money and books: Rebota #

Rebota keeps vehicles, drivers and driver assignments, trip sheets, lorry receipts (consignment notes), driver trip settlement, diesel and mileage reports, a tyre register, maintenance, warehouse receipts and delivery notes, freight invoices with GST, payroll and the accounts in one account online. Starter ₹9,832 for the first year, then ₹11,990 a year, up to 5 users, plus GST; Growth ₹32,546 for the first year, then ₹39,690 a year, up to 25 users. After the 15-day trial, keep using Rebota free: 1 user, 30 GST invoices a month, stock, suppliers and cash. Upgrade only when you need more.

Where Rebota is the wrong choice #

  • Rebota does not track vehicles by GPS and has no video or fuel sensors. If live location matters, use a tracking provider for that and Rebota for trips and money, or choose a product that does both.
  • Generating the IRN or the e-way bill number from inside Rebota needs its GST service-provider connection, which was not switched on as of 29 October 2026; until it is, they are generated on the government portals.
  • Freight forwarders who need air waybills and bills of lading: these are not built in Rebota.
  • A brand shipping through many carriers that wants carrier bidding and ePOD from the carriers is closer to what Fretron lists.

Which One Should You Actually Use

Who Should Use Rebota

Indian transporters and fleet owners who want every trip's lorry receipt, diesel, driver advance, tyres and repairs beside the freight invoice and the books, at a published price.

Who Should NOT Use Rebota (Yet)

Fleets whose first need is live GPS location, cameras or fuel sensors, freight forwarders who need air waybills and bills of lading, and anyone who must generate e-way bills from inside the software today.

When the Other Option Is Genuinely Better

Fleetx or LocoNav when tracking, cameras and fuel theft are the problem. Fretron when you ship goods through many carriers and want carrier management and ePOD. Rebota when the problem is knowing what each trip earned and keeping the accounts.

When You Don't Need Software At All

A handful of trucks, one person who writes every trip, advance and diesel slip into the sheet the same day, and an accountant who makes the freight bills. Excel stops working when driver settlements and tyre costs no longer match the bank.

Hidden Costs to Weigh In Either Direction

GPS devices and their monthly charges; installation; SMS or WhatsApp alerts; GST on prices shown before tax; and the time to settle each driver by hand if the software has no trip settlement.

The Short Version

Many transporters need both a tracker and a money system. Choose the tracker on hardware and coverage, and the money system on lorry receipts, trip settlement and GST billing. Rebota is the second kind; Fleetx and LocoNav are the first; Fretron is for shippers and 3PLs.

Professional Practices

Take one real week to every demo: five trips with their lorry receipts, the diesel slips, one driver's advances and expenses, a tyre change and a repair bill. Ask each vendor to show the profit of each trip at the end.

Action Checklist

  • Count your trucks, drivers, hired vehicles and trips a month.
  • Ask tracking vendors for the device price, the monthly charge per vehicle and the contract length, in writing.
  • In each demo, make a lorry receipt, settle a driver and raise the freight invoice with GST.
  • Read the profit of one trip after diesel, tolls, driver pay and tyres.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is the best software for a transport company in India?▾
It depends on the problem. For live location, cameras and fuel monitoring, look at tracking platforms such as Fleetx and LocoNav (no published prices). For lorry receipts, trip settlement, diesel, tyres, freight invoices with GST and the books, look at Rebota (Starter ₹9,832 first year, then ₹11,990 a year, 5 users, plus GST). Brands and 3PLs shipping through many carriers can look at Fretron.
Is there transport software with lorry receipts (LR) and GST billing?▾
Rebota makes lorry receipts (consignment notes), settles drivers by trip, and raises freight invoices with GST. Fretron lists freight billing and settlement. The Fleetx and LocoNav home pages do not mention lorry receipts or GST invoicing; ask them in a demo.
Does Rebota have GPS tracking?▾
No. Rebota keeps trips, drivers, diesel, tyres, maintenance and billing, but does not track vehicles live. Use a GPS provider for location if you need it.
What does fleet management software cost in India?▾
Fleetx, LocoNav and Fretron do not publish prices on the pages we read; tracking usually also needs devices. Rebota publishes its price: Starter ₹9,832 for the first year, then ₹11,990 a year, up to 5 users, plus GST, with a 15-day trial.
Can I settle driver advances and diesel trip by trip?▾
In Rebota, yes: driver trip settlement records advances, diesel and expenses against the trip, and fuel and mileage reports show each vehicle. LocoNav lists fuel usage analytics and pilferage detection from sensors.
