K-Logistics — dispatches, imports and exports, and what is still to be paid

Which material went on which invoice, to which project and site, by which transporter, when it was sent and delivered, where an import stands at customs, and what each customer or supplier still owes or is owed.

Beta. This product is new and changing quickly with early users. Tell us how your dispatch and import desk works.

Who it is for

Indian companies that send material to projects and sites, or import and export goods: construction, manufacturing and trading businesses, with dispatch, logistics and accounts staff working from one list.

Features

Screens from Aarav Infra Projects, one of our demo companies, on our staging server. Every name, number and email address in them is made up.

K-Logistics dispatches for Aarav Infra Projects Pvt Ltd: counts of dispatched, in transit, delivered and late shipments and missing e-way bills, filters, and demo dispatches by invoice with project, site, materials, transporter, vehicle and status.
K-Logistics on a phone: 2 dispatched, 3 in transit, 1 partly delivered, 8 delivered, 6 late, 5 in transit for over 7 days and 4 missing e-way bills.

Dispatch board

Dispatched, in-transit, delivered and late shipments and missing e-way bills, counted at the top and listed by invoice, project, site, transporter and vehicle, on a computer or on the phone.

K-Logistics domestic dispatch DEMO/AIPL/DC/014 to a demo project site, in transit and late: the status update form, material lines, the shipment with transporter, vehicle and LR number, and the payment terms.
Updating the same dispatch on a phone: new status, date, who received it, a note and an optional photo of the signed challan.

Status updates and proof of delivery

Each dispatch keeps its material lines, transporter, vehicle, driver, LR number, expected date and status history. At the site, the receiver’s name and a photo of the signed challan close it.

What it does

Dispatches by invoice

One record per invoice: invoice number and date, project and site, material lines with quantity and unit, transporter, vehicle number, driver, LR number, dispatch date and expected delivery. A number already recorded is refused, with a link to it.

Status with history

Dispatched, in transit, delivered or partly delivered, returned or cancelled. Delivered takes the date, who received it and a photo of the signed challan. Every change is kept with who made it and when.

Late shipments

A dispatch past its expected date and not delivered, or an import or export past its ETA with no arrival, is shown in red and counted at the top of the list.

Imports and exports

Commercial invoice, supplier or buyer with country, Incoterm, mode (sea FCL or LCL, air, road or rail, courier), ports, carrier, vessel or flight, B/L or AWB, freight forwarder and customs broker (CHA), ETD, ATD, ETA and ATA.

Customs dates

Imports: Bill of Entry number and date, duty paid, out of charge, delivery order. Exports: hand-over, Shipping Bill number and date, assessment and LEO. Milestones move forward only; setting one fills its date when it is empty.

Containers

Number, size and seal. The number is checked against its ISO 6346 check digit; a number that fails is refused unless you tick "correct as typed". Find any container by its number or part of it.

Last free day and demurrage

Arrival (ATA, else ETA) plus free days at port, with the arrival day counted as day 1. Demurrage starts the day after, and the alert email warns two days ahead if the cargo is not out of charge.

Document checklist

Tick the commercial invoice, packing list, B/L or AWB, certificate of origin, insurance and test certificates as received or sent, and attach each file.

Credit days and payments

Invoice amount and currency, credit days from the invoice, delivery, B/L or arrival date, an advance and each payment with its UTR. The due date, outstanding and status (not due, due soon, overdue, part paid, paid) are worked out.

Receivables and payables ageing

What is outstanding by customer, supplier or project in columns for not due, 0–30, 31–60, 61–90 and over 90 days past due. Amounts stay in their own currency and are never converted.

MSME 45-day flag

Mark a supplier as MSME. An import still unpaid more than 45 days after delivery is flagged (MSMED Act s.15; check your agreement), and credit terms above 45 days give a warning.

Daily alert email

One email a day to admins and managers: late dispatches, ETAs in the next 3 days, arrivals with no Bill of Entry, last free day close, departures and arrivals running late, payments due and overdue, and MSME suppliers past 45 days.

Lists, filters and downloads

Dispatches, imports, exports and all records as tabs of one list. Filter by project, site, transporter, material, status, dates or payment status; CSV, Excel and print follow the filters.

Roles and audit trail

Organisation admin, manager, dispatcher, accounts and viewer. Accounts handle payment terms and payments but not shipment details. Every change is written to an audit log linked as a hash chain.

Sends to K-Finance

Once linked, each record with an invoice amount goes to K-Finance every 15 minutes as a sales invoice or purchase bill, and each payment as a receipt or payment, into its review queue. Nothing reaches the books until a person there accepts it.

What it does not do

No GPS tracking, no SMS or WhatsApp messages and no e-way bill generation: K-Logistics is not connected to any GPS, messaging or GST portal provider. Status is updated by your team, from a phone at site if needed.

Data handling. Each company is a separate organisation; one organisation can never see another's shipments, contacts or payments. Records are kept in a database on Khanal Group servers in India. Files (invoice copies, LRs, signed challans, B/Ls) are kept only in your organisation's own Google Drive or OneDrive, in the folder 08 - K-Logistics, through connected storage; until it is connected, uploads are refused. Photo metadata is removed on upload.

Works with

  • K-Finance: invoices with credit days, and payments, go to K-Finance’s review queue every 15 minutes.
  • Khanal ID: companies and teams, the shared directory of buyers, suppliers and transporters, and late shipments and overdue amounts on the owner dashboard.
  • Coming: K-Projects purchase orders and deliveries, and files in your own drive through Connected storage.

What’s new

  1. Across the apps
    Prices for every app, and the Founding Offer

    Every app and five bundles (CS Firm, Contractor, Construction suite, Business suite and Khanal One) now have published monthly prices; yearly is 10 times the monthly price. With the code FOUNDING26, the first 50 paying organisations of each product that sign up by 31 March 2027 pay half the list price for 12 months, then 75% for the next 12 months. Paid plans start with a 14-day free trial and no card. Prices exclude GST. Payments for apps other than K-MailSign open at launch.

  2. Across the apps
    On-server AI drafts, off until you switch them on

    K-Projects can summarise a DPR or the last seven days and explain a gap with next steps; K-CRM drafts a follow-up email and summarises a lead's or deal's timeline; K-Logistics summarises a shipment and drafts a payment reminder; K-Tender groups a tender's eligibility and document text into a checklist, with its dates, EMD and fees filled in from the tender. An open-source model runs on our own server in India: nothing goes to an outside AI service and nothing is used for training. Every draft is labelled, can be edited or dismissed, and changes or sends nothing by itself. An admin switches it on in Settings.

  3. K-Logistics
    K-Logistics is live

    logistics.khanals.in tracks dispatches by invoice, project and site, imports and exports with containers, B/L or AWB and customs dates, and credit days with receivables and payables ageing. Each dispatch can carry its e-way bill number, a validity suggested from the distance, and Part-B vehicle changes, with a warning before it expires. K-Logistics records e-way bills; it does not generate them.

Questions

Who is it for?

Indian companies that send material to projects and sites, or import and export goods, and want one place to see what went where, on which invoice, when it arrived and what is still to be paid: construction, manufacturing and trading businesses, with dispatch, logistics and accounts staff.

Does it track trucks by GPS or send SMS updates?

No. K-Logistics is not connected to any GPS, SMS or WhatsApp provider. Your team updates the status, from a phone at site if needed, and every change is kept with the date, the person and a note. Email alerts go only to your own admins and managers.

Does it make e-way bills?

No. Make the e-way bill on the government portal as you do now. K-Logistics is not connected to the GST portal or a GST suvidha provider. Type the e-way bill number, validity, distance and Part-B vehicle into the dispatch: it suggests the validity from the distance, flags an e-way bill that is missing, about to expire or on a different vehicle, and keeps Part-B vehicle changes and extensions.

How is the last free day worked out?

From the arrival date (ATA, or ETA until the ship arrives) plus the free days at port, counting the arrival day as day 1. With 0 free days it is the arrival day itself. Demurrage starts the day after, and the daily email warns when the last free day is within 2 days and the cargo is not out of charge.

What if a correct container number fails the check?

Each container number is checked as 4 letters and 7 digits with its ISO 6346 check digit. If a number you know is correct fails, tick "correct as typed": it is saved and shown on the record as not verified.

How are MSME suppliers handled?

Mark the supplier as MSME under Transporters & contacts. An import from that supplier still unpaid more than 45 days after delivery (or arrival) is flagged and listed in the weekly alert, and credit terms above 45 days give a warning (MSMED Act s.15; check your agreement).

Does it post into K-Finance?

When your organisation is linked, an admin or manager pastes a link token from K-Finance under Settings. Every 15 minutes, records with an invoice amount go across as sales invoices (dispatches, exports) or purchase bills (imports), and advances and payments as receipts or payments, into K-Finance’s review queue. Nothing reaches the books until a person there accepts it.

How do I sign in?

With your Khanal ID, the same sign-in used for every Khanal Group app. On a phone, use "Add to home screen" from the browser menu.

How much does it cost?

At the Founding price: Standard ₹749 a month (list ₹1,499), Business ₹1,999 a month (list ₹3,999). Yearly is 10 × monthly. Prices exclude GST. Trial: 14 days, with 5 team members, 300 shipment records; no card needed. After the trial everything stays readable.

Where each product keeps app records, files and backups is set out in one table: where your data is stored. Trial, limits and price: pricing grid.
