Into the Elements of RTPL Innovations
“We, at RTPL, empower businesses to revolutionize their logistical processes with our advanced technology, including vehicle tracking systems, comprehensive business operations management tools, and robust accounts management software,” proclaims Sriramakrishna. According to him, the innovations of Pragati Utrack and RAMKI TOFA exemplify RTPL’s industry expertise and commitment towards fulfilling the same vision. Built with a streamlined data management system and high-resolution Google maps of local regions, Pragati Utrack is an easy-to-use platform for fleet operators to not only monitor the vehicle location virtually, but also access trivial data such as the exact time of the start and end of the journey, the speed of the vehicle, the fuel consumption, the estimated time of arrival, and the delayed trip of all drivers, on a day-to-day basis. Utrack also has the power to store around three years of data history with playback and sharing options.
Not just transportation, but Utrack is endowed with applications tailor-made for different vehicles and business verticals. Available both on web and mobile platforms, including iOS and Android versions.The applications can be plugged in instantly anywhere in the world and notify users through SMS and email. Until today, RTPL has deployed the applications not only in India but also in Australia, the USA, Kenya, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Columbia, Congo, the Philippines and many more. Along with Utrack, RTPL has also been helping major manufacturing brands through its software like BAJAJVTS. RTPL holds an impeccable
record of enabling BAJAJ to efficiently manage their fleet transport service companies and vehicles using a single Common Platform called BAJAJVTS.
RAMKI TOFA (Transporters Operations Fleet & Accounts Management System), on the other hand, serves as an ‘all-in-all’ logistic management, financial management, and ERP software, built to effectively monitor the logistics and transportation industry operational activities. Comprising four modules built over masters (users), fleet, operations, and accounts. The pioneering application is equipped with vehicle documentation and maintenance, job cards, tyre management, accident management, vehicle handover, spare purchase order generation, inventory management, GPS tracking, and other functionalities. While the master module offers data on multiple factors, like branches, staff, petrol pumps, users, vehicle model and type, the route, and drivers, the operation module helps users manage E-way Bills, LR (consignment), fuel slips, extra trip advance, trip settlements, driver and staff salary, Happy Card and Fast-Tag recharges, customer and petrol pump payment, route planning, and budgeting, and more.
With the ability to consolidate expenses, the accounts module of TOFA includes features such as account groups, account master, vendor invoices, money receipts, voucher transactions, trial balances, profit and loss statements, and balance sheets. “The savings achieved through reduced expenses significantly outweigh the investment made in the software solution, resulting in a highly favourable ROI. By leveraging the RAMKI TOFA software, transporters can expect increased operational and financial performance, enhanced decision-making capabilities, improved market intelligence, asset optimization and management, reduced lead time, partner management with customers, and a hassle-free and secure transaction mechanism”, adds Sriramakrishna.
