Why Businesses Choose Softpal Cargo

From vendor bid to vehicle placement to final settlement — every cargo operation automated in one platform.

3,167+ Vehicle Vendors — All on One Platform

Access a network of 3,167+ vehicle vendors directly from Softpal Cargo. Send pickup enquiries, collect vendor quotations via email link, compare bids on price and rating parameters, and confirm vehicle placement — all from one platform without phone calls or spreadsheets.

Bid System — Get the Best Freight Rate Every Time

Create freight bids with origin, destination, consignment type, carrier, commodity, and invoice value. Vendors submit proposals via a secure online link. Compare quotes side by side on price, advance, vehicle details, and rating — then accept the best bid in one click.

GPS Tracking — Device & SIM Card on One Platform

Softpal Cargo integrates with GPS device providers and SIM card tracking systems on a single platform. Real-time vehicle tracking is overlaid on Google Maps in the manifest screen — with tracking number, LR number, driver details, source, and destination coordinates all visible in one view.

E-Way Bill with Auto-Extend Expiry — Built In

E-Way Bill numbers (Part A and Part B) are captured at LR booking. When bills approach expiry, Softpal Cargo auto-extends them in bulk — with vehicle number, pincode, and state details pre-filled. No manual tracking of E-Way Bill expiry dates ever again.

Global Quote — Domestic, International, Cargo & Vehicle Vendors

One global quote screen compares rates across domestic couriers, international carriers, cargo vendors, and vehicle vendors simultaneously — filtered by postal code, vehicle model, packing type, and weight. Every rate is pulled live from contracted and spot rates.

Vendor Settlement — Advance & Final, Pickup or Trip

Full vendor settlement lifecycle — advance and final settlement handled separately for pickup collection or for the entire trip. Track trip charges, advances, balances, diesel payments, and cash against each vehicle placement with complete audit trail.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cargo Management Software

Cargo management software automates the full lifecycle of cargo and freight operations — from pickup request and vendor quotation to vehicle placement, GPS tracking, E-Way Bill compliance, and vendor settlement. Softpal Cargo covers Full Truck Load (FTL), Less than Truck Load (LTL), and multi-modal cargo movements with a network of 3,167+ vehicle vendors, 8 customer rate models, and integrated GPS tracking.

When a pickup request is raised, Softpal Cargo sends quotation request emails to selected vendors with a secure link. Vendors submit their proposal — total freight, advance, vehicle number, and description — directly online. You then compare all vendor responses on price and rating in a single screen and confirm the best bid for vehicle placement.

Yes. Softpal Cargo integrates with GPS device providers and SIM card tracking systems on one platform. The manifest screen displays live vehicle location on Google Maps with tracking number, LR number, driver name, source coordinates, and destination coordinates — giving you real-time visibility of every vehicle on route.

E-Way Bill Part A and Part B numbers are captured at LR booking entry. Softpal Cargo monitors expiry dates and provides bulk auto-extension — pre-filling vehicle number, pincode, and state details. Invalid or expiring bills are flagged automatically, eliminating compliance penalties from missed E-Way Bill extensions.

Global Quote is a unified rate comparison screen that simultaneously queries domestic courier rates, international carrier rates, cargo vendor rates, and vehicle vendor rates — filtered by postal code, vehicle model, packing type, and weight. It displays live rates from all contracted and platform vendors including DTDC, Blue Dart, DHL, FedEx, and your own empanelled transporters.
