Small and growing transport companies
Businesses running a handful of vehicles that have outgrown a register and a spreadsheet.

Who This Transport Software Is For
Hawk Lane is transport company software for businesses that move goods with their own vehicles and drivers — not a freight marketplace, a load exchange or a passenger travel system.
Fleet owners and operators
Owners who want one reliable record of what every vehicle and driver did this week.
Dispatch and operations teams
Staff who assign trips, follow up with drivers and chase delivery documents every day.
Owners replacing scattered records
Anyone whose trip details live across paper slips, spreadsheets, phone calls and WhatsApp messages.
If you book trips, assign vehicles and drivers, collect delivery documents and raise invoices, this transport business software is designed for your day.
Transport Management System and Logistics Software in One Record
Keep trip booking, vehicle and driver assignments, check-call updates, documents, invoicing and driver settlements in one operating record. Your office can follow the trip from booking to reconciliation without rebuilding its history from registers and messages.
Hawk Lane is TMS software and transport software for asset-based goods transport. Trip booking, vehicle and driver assignment, check-call updates, documents, proof of delivery, invoicing, settlements and load P&L stay on that record instead of across registers, phone calls and message threads.
It is not a freight-forwarding platform, a warehouse management system, courier-route optimisation or a load marketplace. Customer portal access is included on paid plans so shippers can see status from the same trip record your office uses.
One Place for Your Transport Operations
Transport management software India operators can actually run day to day. Hawk Lane keeps the operating record of the business in one browser-based system instead of five disconnected places.

From Trip Creation to Invoice
The same record follows the work from the moment a trip is booked to the moment it is billed, so nothing has to be re-entered at the end of the month.
- Create the trip or load
- Assign the vehicle and driver
- Record the pickup
- Record advances and trip expenses
- Record the delivery and upload the POD
- Raise the invoice
- Review trip margin and driver settlement
If trip operations are the part of the business you most want to fix first, see our trip management software page for a closer look at advances, expenses and trip profitability. Dispatch assignment and the trip board are covered on trucking dispatch software for India.
Trip Tracking From Check Calls, Not Live GPS
Logistics tracking in Hawk Lane means the operating history of each trip: pickup, status updates and delivery recorded by your drivers and office team.
Check-call history on the trip
Record location notes, delays and next-stop plans against the trip so the office is not reconstructing the day from WhatsApp threads.
Status the customer can see
Paid plans include a customer portal that reads from the same trip record. Sharing status does not require a telematics feed.
What tracking is not
Hawk Lane does not plot live GPS, predict ETAs or optimise routes. If you need a map feed, keep your existing tracking product and use Hawk Lane for the operating record.
Real Screens, Not Mock-Ups
These are screens from the working Hawk Lane product. Feature availability varies by plan.

Vehicle and Driver Records That Stay Current
Keep the master data behind every trip in one place, so assigning work does not depend on someone remembering which vehicle is free.
Vehicle records
- Vehicle and trailer details in one register
- Upload the vehicle documents you hold
- Record expiry dates for reminders
- See the trip history for a vehicle
Driver records
- Driver details and contact information
- Licence and document uploads with expiry dates
- Trips run by each driver
- Advances and settlement history on paid plans
Customers and routes
- Customer records with billing details
- Frequently used pickup and delivery locations
- Reusable details for repeat work
- Trip history by customer
Reminders help your team notice an approaching expiry date. They are an operational prompt based on the dates you enter — not a compliance guarantee, and not a substitute for your own statutory checks.
Trip Expenses, Billing and Margin
Most transport businesses know roughly what they earned last month. Fewer can say which trips actually made money. Recording cost and revenue on the same trip record is what closes that gap.
Advances and expenses
- Record the advance given to the driver
- Capture fuel, toll and other trip costs
- Attach receipts to the trip record
- Settle against the advance afterwards
Invoicing
- Raise the invoice from the completed trip
- Keep the POD with the billing record
- Track billed and unbilled trips
- Share supporting documents with the customer
Trip margin
- Revenue against recorded cost per trip
- Standard profitability reporting on paid plans
- Compare routes and customers over time
- Advanced reporting where included in your plan
Hawk Lane produces operational billing records. It is not accounting software and does not perform GST e-invoicing, e-way bill generation or statutory filing. Your accountant continues to handle taxation and filing using your existing process.
A Simple TMS, Not a Heavy Transport ERP
Transport ERP suites try to cover accounting, taxation, payroll, procurement and enterprise controls. Hawk Lane deliberately does less, and stays quicker to adopt because of it.
| Consideration | Full transport ERP | Hawk Lane TMS |
|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Company-wide business system | Daily transport operations record |
| Trips, vehicles, drivers, documents | Usually one module among many | The core of the product |
| Accounting, taxation and payroll | Usually included | Not included |
| Procurement and inventory | Commonly included | Not included |
| Typical implementation effort | Longer project, often with consultants | Guided setup on paid plans |
| Best suited to | Larger organisations with dedicated IT | Small and growing fleets |
If your business genuinely needs integrated accounting, taxation and payroll in one system, a transport ERP is the right category to evaluate. If what you need is control over trips, vehicles, documents and billing, a focused TMS gets you there faster.
What Hawk Lane Does Not Do Today
We would rather lose a demo than win one on a promise the product cannot keep. These are not available today, and we do not describe them as coming soon.
LR and Bilty generation
Hawk Lane stores the documents you upload against a trip. It does not create a lorry receipt or Bilty.
GST e-invoicing and e-way bills
No e-invoice generation, no e-way bill creation and no integration with the GST portal.
Tally and FASTag integrations
Neither is a live integration. We will not describe an export or manual step as an integration.
Live GPS and route optimisation
Trip status comes from updates your team enters, not a telematics feed. There is no automatic route optimisation.
If any of these are essential to you today, please say so on the demo call. We will tell you honestly whether Hawk Lane is the right fit right now.

Hawk Lane Tech is headquartered in the United States. India onboarding and support are available in English, Hindi and Punjabi by phone at +91-78145-91688 and by email, with demo and setup calls scheduled at a time that works for your team in Indian Standard Time. Because our support team works largely to US business hours, we confirm realistic response times with you during onboarding rather than promising round-the-clock cover.
Free accounts use self-guided setup. Switching from other transport software or a spreadsheet? Hawk Lane can help you move your data. Share a sample export and we'll confirm which trip records can be imported, the timeline and any setup cost before you switch. Historical migration is quoted with a Custom plan. It is not included in the ₹1,000 per-vehicle price, and not every record transfers automatically. Ask about data migration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Hawk Lane is built for small and growing transport companies that own or operate their own vehicles. Standard plans suit roughly 1 to 20 active vehicles. It is not a freight marketplace, a load-booking exchange or a passenger travel system.
The terms overlap. Indian transport companies often use transport management system, logistics software and carrier TMS to mean the same operating record for trips, vehicles, drivers, documents and billing. Hawk Lane is that TMS software for asset-based goods transport. It is not a warehouse system, a freight marketplace or a live GPS platform.
Yes. You can maintain records for vehicles, trailers, drivers and customers, assign a vehicle and driver to each trip, and see which trips are running at any time. Vehicle and staff user limits depend on the plan you choose.
Yes. You can record trip revenue alongside costs such as driver advances, fuel, tolls and other expenses, and review revenue, cost and margin for each trip. Standard profitability reporting is included on paid plans.
Office staff can upload documents and PODs to a trip on any plan. Driver upload from the driver app is included on paid and eligible Custom plans. Hawk Lane does not currently provide electronic signature capture, OTP confirmation or geotagged proof of delivery.
Not at this time. Hawk Lane stores and organises the documents you upload against each trip, but it does not generate a lorry receipt or Bilty. If LR and Bilty generation is essential to your operation today, tell us during the demo so we can be clear about fit.
No. None of these are live integrations today, and we do not present them as available. Invoices produced in Hawk Lane are operational billing records that your accounting team can use alongside your existing accounting and statutory filing process.
No. Hawk Lane records trip status from updates entered by your drivers and office team rather than from a live telematics or GPS feed. It is an operational record of each trip, not a vehicle-tracking product.
No. Office staff use Hawk Lane through a supported web browser, and drivers use supported mobile workflows where the driver app is included in your plan. There is no desktop installation and no local server to maintain.
Yes. India onboarding and support are available in English, Hindi and Punjabi by phone and email. Demo and setup calls are scheduled in Indian Standard Time. Response times are confirmed during onboarding.
Yes. Paid India pricing is ₹1,000 per vehicle per month for up to 20 active vehicles, plus GST where applicable. Fleets larger than 20 vehicles are quoted as a custom plan.

Switching from other transport software or a spreadsheet, Hawk Lane can help you move your data after reviewing a sample export. We confirm which trip records can be imported, the timeline and any setup cost before you switch. Historical migration is quoted with a Custom plan.
