What is the difference between a transport ERP and transport management software?

Transport management software (a TMS) runs operations: bookings, dispatch, lorry receipts, proof of delivery and tracking. A transport ERP includes all of that and adds invoicing, payments, payroll, loans and accounts on the same records. NShine ERP is a transport ERP; the TMS is one part of it.

Will I still need separate accounting software?

Most customers do not. NShine ERP has a full set of books: chart of accounts, vouchers, day, cash and bank books, trial balance, profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow, plus TDS, RCM and UAE VAT 201 reports. If your accountant works in TallyPrime, there is a one-way export to Tally.

Does it work for brokers who hire trucks rather than own them?

Yes. A hired truck is a vehicle with ownership type "market" linked to its supplier. The customer invoice and the supplier invoice both sit on the booking, so the margin per trip is visible and supplier payments are tracked with balance due and age.

How does it work out profit per vehicle?

Revenue comes from the bookings and invoices on that vehicle. Costs come from its fuel entries, maintenance, supplier charges, expenses, driver payments, and the interest and depreciation posted from Loans and Schedules. The Vehicle Profit/Loss report shows one truck; All Vehicle Profit/Loss compares the fleet.

Is driver salary handled?

Yes. Drivers are on a monthly salary or trip-based pay, fixed or percentage. Attendance records paid days and LOP; the monthly payroll run computes gross, deductions and net, recovers advances, holds rows that need review, and produces payslips.

Do I need to install anything?

No. NShine ERP runs in the browser, and drivers use a mobile app. There is nothing to install on office computers or a server.

Plans depend on bookings per month, the number of own vehicles and users. The pricing page lists them. There is a free trial, no credit card required and no setup fee.

Transport ERP Software for Fleet Operators

If this is your month-end, you need a transport ERP

Most transport companies run two systems. Trips live in a TMS, a spreadsheet or WhatsApp. Money lives in an accounting package, or with the accountant. Between the two, the same questions come up every month:

Which trucks actually made money, after fuel, hire charges and the driver?
Who owes us, how much, and for how long?
How much did we advance the drivers, and was it recovered at salary time?
Which loan EMIs are due this month, and how much of that is interest?
Why does the accountant re-type every invoice from our printouts?

A transport ERP answers these because the trip and the money are one record. In NShine ERP the booking creates the invoice; the receipt clears it in the bank book; the fuel, supplier charge and driver pay for that trip land in the vehicle's profit and loss. Nothing is typed twice.

What changes when trips and money share one record

Each row is a situation transport owners describe to us, what NShine ERP does about it, and the screen that does it.

What happens today	What changes	Where in NShine ERP
Profit per truck is a guess until the accountant finishes	Every booking carries its revenue, fuel, supplier charge, driver pay, loan interest and depreciation. You see the result per vehicle and across the fleet.	Vehicle Profit/Loss and All Vehicle Profit/Loss reports
Invoices go out late and are chased from memory	The invoice is raised from the booking, single or multi-trip, with VAT or GST, discount and TDS. Each one shows amount due, received, balance and age in days.	Customer Invoice, with Paid / Unpaid / Partial and invoice ageing reports
Hired trucks are paid from a notebook	A market vehicle is linked to its supplier. Its hire charge becomes a supplier invoice on the same booking, with a last day of payment and balance due.	Vehicles (ownership type), Supplier Invoice, Supplier Payments
Driver advances are forgotten at salary time	Advances sit on the driver's balance and are recovered in the monthly payroll run, which flags anyone whose net pay would go negative.	Drivers (current balance), Payroll run, Payslips
Loan EMIs and depreciation never reach the truck's cost	Each loan carries lender, outstanding, EMI and next due date, split into principal and interest per month; depreciation posts per vehicle.	Loans and Schedules
POD photos sit in chat groups	Drivers send delivery photos on WhatsApp or the app; the system matches each to its booking, warns about repeats, and saves on your approval.	AI Inbox and the driver mobile app
Month-end means exporting and reconciling	Trial balance, profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow come from the day-to-day entries. TDS, RCM and UAE VAT 201 reports are built in.	Finance reports

Who it is for, and what it is not

Plain answers, so you can rule us in or out quickly.

Built for

Transporters and logistics companies that book, move and bill loads by road
Truck owners and fleet managers who want cost and profit per vehicle
Brokers and commission agents who mostly use hired (market) vehicles
Small and mid-sized fleets, from a handful of trucks to a few hundred

Not what it does

Not a GPS device. Live tracking uses the telematics accounts you already have and the driver phone.
Not a Tally replacement for your accountant. Accounts are built in; a one-way export to TallyPrime is available if they prefer Tally.
Not a passenger or staff-shuttle system. It is built for goods transport.
Not an on-premise install. It runs in the browser with a mobile app for drivers.

How one trip moves through NShine ERP

The same path every load takes, from quote to the books.

A sales quotation goes to the customer; when confirmed, bookings attach to it.
The booking records the LR number, consignor and consignee, vehicle (own or market), driver, stops, material, container and seal numbers, E-Way bill and goods invoice.
The driver sends the proof of delivery from the app or WhatsApp; it is matched to the booking and approved.
Fuel, expenses and the supplier charge are recorded against the trip or vehicle.
The customer invoice is raised from the booking; the receipt clears it and updates the bank book.
Driver pay (monthly or per trip) runs through attendance and payroll, with advances recovered.
The vehicle and fleet profit reports show the result; the accountant exports to Tally if needed.
