CMS Guide
Domestic vs International Courier Software — Softpal CMS
Domestic courier needs COD, franchisees, and GST. International needs FedEx/DHL/UPS APIs and multi-currency billing. Softpal CMS handles both — in one unified platform.
Domestic Courier — Key Capabilities
Multi-Hub & Multi-Branch Network Management
Softpal CMS handles multi-hub and multi-branch operations natively — open manifests to corresponding HUBs, branch manifests from HUBs, and inter-HUB manifests. Define serviceable and non-serviceable destinations, manage carrier-wise ODA pincodes, and track COD balances across every branch.
Last Mile Delivery with GPS-Tracked Riders
Route-based delivery optimisation with rider performance tracking, run sheet generation, live GPS tracking of delivery executives, and offline delivery updates via the mobile app. RTO management, POD capture, and delivery OTP — all automated.
Franchisee & Branch Network — Scalable Growth
Add franchisees confidently with automated commission calculation, billing, TDS, and payment processing. The web-based platform runs 24×7 across all franchise locations — no separate installations required. Flash news broadcasts can be pushed globally, by region, or branch-specifically.
Domestic Tax & Compliance — GST, TDS & E-Invoice
Full domestic tax compliance — forward and reverse GST, multi-state GST management, service-wise tax configuration, TDS for agents/vendors/customers, e-invoice IRN generation, and E-Way Bill integration. Daily sales reports and bulk billing handle domestic invoicing automatically.
International Courier — Key Capabilities
40+ Carrier Integrations — FedEx, DHL, UPS, Aramex & More
Pre-built API integrations with FedEx, DHL, UPS, Aramex, Blue Dart, Purolator, Purolator Freight, Freightcom, Pitney Bowes, ACI, USPS, and more. Rates, booking, pickup, label generation, manifest, cancellation, and tracking — all from one platform.
International Tax — USA, Canada & Multi-Country Billing
Dynamic tax calculation for USA and Canada in addition to forward and reverse GST for domestic. International carrier billing in multiple currencies with customer-specific rate contracts, date-range-based rates, and fuel surcharges configured per carrier.
Destination Analysis & Weight Division Reports
Region-wise shipment reports, weight division analysis by carrier and service, cumulative branch analysis, growth rate tracking, and destination analysis across countries — giving full visibility into international shipping performance and profitability.
E-Commerce Integration — Amazon, Shopify & More
Softpal CMS integrates with Amazon Fulfillment, Shopify (dedicated Shopify App with multi-warehouse pickup points), DHL Last Mile, Amazon Last Mile, and major banking APIs for payment reconciliation. Customers can bid, negotiate rates, and book from the customer portal or mobile app.
