Everything Bilty does — products, solutions, guides & resources — in one page.
Bilty is the all-in-one cloud transport & logistics management suite built for Indian transporters. Every section below explains a piece of what Bilty does, in plain English — pick a topic from the table of contents, or scroll through to read the full story.
Bilty is a single piece of software that runs the whole back-office of a transport business: issuing bilties (also called lorry receipts, LRs, or GRs), receiving consignments at the destination, raising GST-compliant invoices, recording payments, maintaining party ledgers, computing driver salaries, filing returns, and generating reports — all in one place.
It runs entirely in your browser as a Progressive Web App (PWA), so it works on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and ChromeOS without an install. It also works offline — issued bilties sync back the next time you have internet.
Bilty's accounting module is built around how a transporter actually books revenue and expenses, not generic accounting workflows retrofitted to logistics. Double-entry posting, party ledgers, opening balances, journal entries, bank reconciliation, and TDS (194C) deduction on freight payments are all native.
Practising chartered accountants can request a complimentary Bilty Pro license to use on behalf of transporter clients. You get a multi-client dashboard, JSON exports your client's accountant can drop straight into the GSTN portal, and white-glove onboarding for your first three clients.

Indian transport is a ₹10-lakh-crore industry that still runs on carbon-paper bilty books, WhatsApp screenshots, and end-of-month panic. Bilty exists to make that workflow boring — predictable, auditable, and ten minutes a day instead of ten hours a week.

Login by username + password or via Google / Apple / Microsoft (when enabled). All access is scoped to the consignor or consignee row — they can never see anyone else's data.
Industry guides
"Transport management" (TMS) means routing, dispatching, tracking, and billing freight movements end-to-end. Bilty is a TMS purpose-built for Indian road freight: it understands GR series resets at financial-year boundaries, RCM on GTA invoices, e-way bill expiry, and the difference between FTL (full truckload) and PTL (part truckload) — the things generic TMS platforms get wrong about India.
A bilty (or lorry receipt) is the document a transporter issues to a consignor at the time of booking a consignment. It records the goods, weight, freight rate, vehicle, route, and the agreed commercial terms. Legally it's also a receipt — once issued, the transporter has acknowledged taking custody.
Good bilty software needs to do four things well: (1) issue numbered bilties without duplicates, (2) prove a bilty was delivered, (3) produce GST-compliant invoices on top, and (4) keep the party ledger live. Bilty does all four.
Logistics accounting differs from generic accounting in three places: revenue is recognised at the time the bilty is delivered (not at booking), TDS 194C applies to freight payments above ₹30,000 single / ₹1,00,000 annual to a single transporter, and GST flows under RCM for GTA services unless the transporter has opted in to the 12% forward charge.
Bilty handles all three automatically — there's no spreadsheet step between issuing a bilty and the books being closed.

Short, opinionated definitions of the terms you'll meet in the app:
LR ("lorry receipt") and GR ("goods receipt") refer to the same document — different states have used different names historically. The GSTN portal calls it a "consignment note". Bilty uses "bilty" as the umbrella term in the UI and prints the formal name your client expects on the actual document, configured per branch in App Configuration → Print Templates.
