Live GPS Shipment Tracking

Once a vehicle leaves, your operations team should never have to call the driver to find out where a shipment is. AIQ Connect puts every consignment on a live map from the moment it departs to the moment it delivers. Route deviations, unexpected stops and delays trigger instant alerts so your team can act before a customer complains.

Real-time vehicle location and consignment status
Route adherence monitoring with deviation alerts
Instant alerts for stops, delays and off-route events
Live visibility for your operations team without calling the driver

✅

Electronic Proof of Delivery

Paper delivery records get lost, disputed and delayed. AIQ Connect replaces them with digital proof captured at every stop, a photo, a signature and a GPS-stamped timestamp logged the moment delivery happens. Every record is stored automatically and shows up on your dashboard instantly, with no manual data entry required.

Automated Trip Billing and Freight Invoicing

Manual invoicing after every trip means errors, delays and billing disputes that take days to resolve. When a trip closes in AIQ Connect, the invoice calculates automatically, actual GPS kilometres, agreed rate cards, surcharges and deductions applied in one step. Carrier payments and withholding tax are handled in the same workflow so nothing gets missed.

Proof of Delivery and Billing, Automatically Linked

The moment a driver captures proof of delivery, the trip is ready to close and the invoice calculates itself from actual GPS kilometres and your agreed rate card. Route problems, delivery confirmations and invoices all land in the same feed, so nothing needs a separate spreadsheet or a follow-up call.

Honest Comparison

Self-Hosted vs Cloud Transport Management Software

Most transport management systems store your consignment and billing data on someone else’s server and charge per vehicle to access it. Here is how self-hosting compares.

Factor	Cloud TMS	Self-Hosted AIQ Connect
Where consignment data lives	Vendor’s cloud	Your own server, permanently
Monthly per-vehicle fees	$10 to $35 per vehicle, forever	One-time license, no per-vehicle fees
Freight invoice basis	Estimated or manually entered distance	Actual GPS kilometres, calculated automatically
Proof of delivery	Often a separate add-on tool	Photo, signature and GPS timestamp built in
Branding	Vendor’s name and portal	White-label with your logo and domain
Data when you leave	Access ends with the subscription	Records stay with you for good
Carrier payment handling	Usually a separate system	Built into the same billing workflow

FAQs

Transport Management Software, Common Questions

What is transport management software?

Transport management software manages the full lifecycle of a consignment, from booking and dispatch to live tracking, proof of delivery and freight invoicing. It is also called a transport management system, or TMS. AIQ Connect is self-hosted transport management software, meaning it runs on your own server with your branding and data policies, not on a third-party cloud.

How is AIQ Connect different from other TMS software?

Most transport management software runs on the vendor’s cloud and charges a monthly fee for every vehicle you add. AIQ Connect runs on your own server instead, so there are no per-vehicle fees, your consignment and billing data stays inside your infrastructure, and the platform is white-labeled with your logo and domain rather than the vendor’s brand.

Does AIQ Connect have GPS tracking built in?

Yes. Live GPS tracking is built into the core platform, not a separate add-on. Every consignment shows up on the map from dispatch to delivery, with route deviation alerts and delay alerts sent automatically, so your operations team always knows where a shipment is without calling the driver.

How does automated billing work in a transport management system?

When a trip closes in AIQ Connect, the invoice calculates itself from the actual GPS kilometres travelled, matched against your agreed rate card, with any surcharges or deductions applied automatically. Carrier payments and withholding tax are handled in the same workflow, so nothing has to be re-entered by hand.

What is electronic proof of delivery and how does it work?

Electronic proof of delivery, or ePOD, replaces paper delivery records with a photo, a signature and a GPS-stamped timestamp captured on the driver’s phone at the moment of delivery. It is stored automatically and shows up on your dashboard instantly, so there is a clear digital record for every delivery instead of a paper slip that can get lost or disputed.

Can AIQ Connect handle large consignment volumes?

Yes. Because AIQ Connect runs on your own server, capacity scales with your infrastructure rather than a shared cloud plan, so operations dispatching hundreds of consignments a day are not limited by a vendor’s pricing tier. There are no per-vehicle fees either, so cost does not rise as your consignment volume grows.
