Generating transport documents and tax invoices through disconnected systems creates errors and transit delays. Werkora unifies dispatch verification and tax invoicing: store teams record transporter and vehicle particulars directly on the dispatch record, producing unified tax invoices and delivery challans without discrepancy.
For factory dispatches exceeding ₹50,000, two statutory documents govern movement: the Tax Invoice under Section 31, and the electronic Way Bill under Rule 138 of the CGST Rules.
Werkora structures dispatch records to capture transporter names, vehicle registration numbers, and destination pin codes directly alongside line-item tax details. This ensures complete data consistency across physical delivery challans, printed tax invoices, and portal filings.
When transit vehicles experience mechanical failure mid-route, transport documents must be updated to reflect the new vehicle carrying the consignment before transit resumes.
Oversized machinery and industrial fabrications often require multi-vehicle dispatches or specialized ODC delivery challans, requiring precise tracking of split consignments across transport units.
Werkora equips every shop-floor supervisor, line operator, storekeeper, and accountant with their own dedicated login with plans sized for your operation.
Yes. Vehicle and transporter details can be updated directly within Werkora dispatch records to maintain accurate shipping documents.
An expired e-way bill cannot be updated with a new vehicle number. If a truck breaks down and validity has already lapsed beyond the extension window, a fresh transport document must be issued.
