Transport accounting software: know the profit on every trip

LR Manager by AGI Technologies is transport accounting software for the trip side of your business: freight earned, hire and charges paid, diesel advances and what is still owed, built from the LRs and challans you already make. It is for transporters and fleet owners who want profit by trip, party and month without a separate spreadsheet.

The problem

Why transporters find out their profit too late

Many transport offices learn their profit only when the CA closes the books. By then a bad party or a bad lane has run for months. The figures below are examples.

Profit known only at month-end

Example: You ran 60 trips last month and the books show ₹2.1 lakh profit. Nobody can see that eight of those trips, all for one party, lost ₹1,500 each.

Trip profit by party and month comes from the challans and bills themselves, so a loss-making party shows up while you can still change the rate.

A pump ledger that never matches

Example: The diesel pump says you owe ₹1,86,000. Your diary says ₹1,71,000. Finding the ₹15,000 difference means going through 90 slips.

Each diesel slip entered as an advance debits the pump account automatically, so the pump ledger builds itself from the challans.

Not knowing what you owe truck owners

Example: A broker says you still owe ₹62,000 across seven trips. Without a running record you either pay to keep him happy or spend a day checking.

The outstanding hire report shows what is due on every challan after advances and deductions.

A trip sheet that disagrees with the bill

Example: The Excel trip sheet shows ₹48,000 freight for a trip that was billed at ₹46,000 after a rate change, so your profit report is ₹2,000 too high.

Profit uses the same LRs, challans and bills the office already makes, so there is no second sheet to keep in step.

Transport accounting questions

Does LR Manager replace Tally or my accountant?

No. LR Manager keeps the trip side of your business: freight, hire, advances, diesel, deductions and trip profit. Your accountant still keeps the full books and files your returns. You can export your data at any time to share with them.

How is trip profit worked out?

For each trip, the party freight and charges billed, less the lorry hire and charges paid to the truck. The challan shows the margin before dispatch, and the reports show profit by party and month.

Can I see which parties are profitable?

Yes. Trip profit is reported by party and month, so you can see which parties make money and which do not, and decide where to ask for a better rate.

What is the diesel pump ledger?

When a driver gets a diesel slip as an advance, LR Manager records it against the challan and debits that pump’s account automatically. The pump ledger then shows what you owe each pump.

Can I keep two companies’ figures apart?

Yes. Each company has its own login and data, and no company can see another’s records. Branches also get their own number series.
