Never be the last to know your own truck is stuck.
The load plan doesn’t know the truck is still at the weighbridge. The dealer is calling because nobody can see it move. Then the transporter bills detention you never saw start. Fretron runs plant gate to dealer doorstep on one record — so the freight bill is checked against the trip that actually ran, and the Δ is flagged before you pay it.
For steel, cement, chemicals, automotive, and EPC manufacturers running FTL dispatch from multiple plants — with SAP, Oracle, or Tally staying the system of record. First plant live in 6–8 weeks.
Used by Exide, Jindal Steel, and 40+ Indian manufacturers.

Seam anatomy
What the plant stack costs you
The plan, the yard, and the invoice each hold their own truth. The gaps between them are priced in rupees.
-
Four hours of Excel, every dispatch cycle
Every shift starts with a planner rebuilding load plans by hand. Utilization rides on one person’s memory — trucks leave at 70% when 94% was on the table.
-
3+ hours of yard TAT per truck
Gate, weighbridge, and loading bay each run their own queue. Nobody sees where a truck is stuck until the transporter bills detention for it.
-
5–8% of every freight invoice leaks
Overcharges, wrong rate slabs, double-billed detention. Sampling catches the big ones; the rest gets paid.
-
Claims die on paper PODs
A delay penalty needs a timestamp; a shortage claim needs a photo. Paper PODs have neither — so the write-off wins.
Freight cost isn’t lost in the rate you negotiated. It’s lost between the plan, the yard, and the invoice. We close those seams.
How it works
One record, plant gate to dealer doorstep
The plan writes it, the gate and weighbridge stamp it, the trip rides it, and the invoice is checked against it. This is the path one truck takes.
Inside the plant
- Dispatch planned
- Gate-in
- Weighbridge
Beyond the gate
- In transit
- Dealer doorstep
- Freight invoice
The plan, the yard, the trip, and the invoice usually live in four places. On Fretron they are four views of one record.
Where manufacturers start
Start where the bleed is worst
Plant dispatch, yard automation, or freight billing — the three doors manufacturers come in through. Each runs on the same record, so the second module is configuration, not a new project.
Pillar 01 · Plant dispatch
Four hours of Excel becomes a 30-minute plan
AI groups pending orders into FTL loads by weight, route, and vehicle capacity — 94% average utilization against 70% manual.
Dispatch planningPillar 02 · Yard automation
Gate-in to gate-out in 90 minutes
Token, weighbridge, and loading bay run one queue. Drivers get slot alerts; you see where every truck is stuck — before detention starts accruing.
Plant & yard automationPillar 03 · Freight billing
The overcharge is caught before payment
Every invoice auto-reconciles against contract, rate card, and the trip’s own record — the 5–8% leak gets flagged, not paid.
Freight billingAlso on the same record
Add capabilities as workflows mature — each one reads and writes the record the first module created.
