New: an honest review of the best logistics software for Indian steel manufacturers.

Capability

Freight procurement where the awarded rate is the rate every bill gets checked against — automated bidding, lane benchmarks, carrier scoring

Your team negotiates on WhatsApp, tracks contracts in Excel, and finds rate leakage at the quarterly audit — after 3-5% has walked. Fretron awards onto the rate record dispatch and billing both reconcile against.

Fretron’s rails were built where logistics is hardest — 1M+ shipments a year, ₹10,000 Cr+ freight orchestrated for India’s biggest manufacturers

Key Capabilities

Every capability below reads — and writes — the same record.

RFQs on WhatsApp, not portals

Lane-level RFQs reach the whole panel in minutes — no registration, 100% lane coverage.

Flags a bid pre-award

A ₹2,100 quote flags against the ₹1,920 your own trips ran this lane.

Scored on trips that ran

OT%, damage, compliance computed from your executed trips — not a typed-in scorecard.

One rate, RFQ to billing

The awarded rate flows into dispatch and billing — fuel-indexed, renewal flagged at T-30.

The Problem

Freight procurement at most Indian manufacturers is a quarterly fire drill: an Excel RFQ emailed to 50-100 transporters, two weeks chasing responses, half the panel silent.

How It Works

Build a multi-lane RFQ with differential pricing once and send it to the whole panel in one click — transporters bid from WhatsApp, no registration, so participation actually happens. Bids are benchmarked against lane history, competing bids, and market data, then ranked with performance scores — awards weigh total value, not just the lowest bid.

The award is where most procurement processes stop, and where leakage starts. Here the awarded rate joins the shared record dispatch and billing both reconcile against: fuel indexation, volume tracking, deviation flags before payment.
