The Problem — Dispatch Verification & Label Management at Surya Road Lines
Surya Road Lines operates as a Carrying & Forwarding (C&F) agent handling goods for multiple companies including Chambal Fertilizers. Every day, goods from multiple principals are received at the godown, stored, and dispatched to dealers and retailers across 13 districts of Madhya Pradesh. The operation involves multiple products, multiple parties, and multiple transporters — all moving simultaneously.
The core problem is threefold:
1. Mixed-up goods during dispatch
The godown stores dozens of products at any given time. Many of these products — especially crop protection chemicals and specialty nutrients — come in packaging that looks nearly identical. Same size box, same colour scheme, different product inside. When a worker is picking 25 boxes of Product A and 30 boxes of Product B for the same party, it is very easy to accidentally pick the wrong box. By the time the mistake is discovered — at the dealer's end, 200 kilometres away — it has already caused a serious problem: wrong product delivered, right product still sitting in the godown, unhappy dealer, freight wasted, and a complaint raised against the C&F agent.
2. No verification system at the time of loading
Currently there is no check at the loading stage to confirm that what is being loaded matches what was ordered. The driver takes what the worker gives him. Nobody verifies Product Name, Batch Number, or Quantity against the actual order before the vehicle leaves the gate. A simple counting error — 24 boxes instead of 25 — goes undetected until delivery.
3. Labels are created manually or not at all
For each dispatch, labels need to be stuck on every box stating the transporter name, party name, destination, and box count (e.g. Box 3 of 25). Currently this is either done manually — which is slow and error-prone — or not done at all. When a truck carrying goods for three different parties reaches the destination, there is no way to quickly identify which box belongs to which party without opening it. This causes confusion, delays, and occasionally wrong delivery.
What is needed is an integrated dispatch and labelling system with the following capabilities:
The system should allow the operator to enter an order — Party Name, Product A (25 boxes), Product B (30 boxes) — and instantly generate two sets of labels: 25 labels for Product A and 30 labels for Product B, each clearly stating the product name, party, destination, and box number. These labels are printed and physically stuck on every box before loading begins.
At the time of loading, each box is scanned using a barcode or QR scanner. The system checks the scanned box against the order and either confirms it ( correct product, correct party) or raises an alert (wrong product, do not load). Nothing leaves the godown without being verified by the system.
This eliminates human error at the most critical point — the loading stage — and ensures that every box that goes on a truck is the right product, in the right quantity, for the right party. It a
