Monitor presence of drivers and field staff via GPS rather than using biometric solutions, calculate trip-related and delivery-related incentive compensation, ensure Professional Tax is paid accurately in all depots and hubs, and manage large volumes of onboarding and F&F without having your ops team reconcile trip sheets each month.
A logistics company with 50 depots, a casual loading workforce, and a driver fleet paid on trips that changes weekly faces payroll complexity that general-purpose software was never designed to handle.
Drivers and delivery staff are never at one fixed location, so biometric devices simply don't work for them. Attendance needs to be captured through GPS, not a fingerprint scanner.
Drivers and delivery partners are paid per trip or per delivery. Reconciling hundreds of trips per worker per month by hand is slow and a constant source of payout disputes.
A logistics network with depots in 15+ states carries 15+ different Professional Tax slabs and filing frequencies, all of which need to be tracked correctly, depot by depot.
Loaders and handlers are frequently engaged through contract or casual arrangements, with minimum wage rates that vary state to state and need to be applied correctly.
Logistics sees some of the highest attrition rates of any sector. Fast onboarding for new joiners and timely F&F for departing staff at volume strains a manual payroll process.
Long-haul drivers away from base overnight are entitled to a separate night-out or halting allowance, a component generic payroll software frequently doesn't support at all.
Logistics and transportation companies run several distinct workforce categories at once - each with different pay structures and different attendance and compliance needs. TankhaPay is built to handle all of them from one login.
Trip-linked pay, night-out and halting allowance, and GPS-based attendance instead of fixed-location biometric check-in.
Trip Pay + Halting AllowancePer-delivery payout reconciled against high-volume trip data, with weekly or monthly payout cycles handled accurately at scale.
Per-Delivery ReconciliationContract and casual labour with state-correct minimum wage application and the compliance registers contract labour requires.
Contract Labour ComplianceStandard CTC calculations for salaries, PF, TDS, and gratuity, done accurately irrespective of the size of the network at all depots.
Full PF + TDS + GratuityIncentive-linked pay and multi-city travel allowances for staff who manage routes, client accounts, or regional operations.
Incentive + Travel AllowanceHired rapidly for festival and peak-season surges, these workers need fast onboarding and clean F&F when demand tapers off.
Fast Onboard + F&FRunning payroll for a logistics business means handling GPS attendance, trip-linked pay, and a multi-depot network all in the same cycle. Here is how TankhaPay simplifies every step.
Build a connected network of drivers, delivery men, warehouse staff, and depot office staff through one safe platform. Real-time registration and eligibility for trips of depot wise part-time and contractual labor workforce management.
TankhaPay calculates the incentive pay for trips and deliveries based on trip data, takes care of night-out and halting allowances when drivers are away from the depot, and links GPS attendance to payroll without having to use any manually filled trip sheets.
All deductions are carried out accurately - PF on the right basic salary, TDS according to the relevant system and PT deducted appropriately at all depots' states. The contract and casual labor in the warehouse paid with the state minimum wage.
Once payroll is approved, salaries are disbursed directly to bank accounts across every depot and driver, wherever they're based. Digital payslips are generated instantly in the employee app - no separate filing step.
CMMI Level 5 is a certification held by fewer than 1% of Indian tech companies. It means the quality standard your trip pay and statutory filings are processed under is the same standard trusted by the Government of India.
No Indian payroll software competitor holds this certification. When your investors or auditors ask who runs your payroll, this row wins the conversation.
We have processed payroll through every significant Indian labour law change since 1998. Labour Code 2025 is not a new challenge for us - it is the latest in a 26-year track record.
Thousands of field workers across hundreds of depots, never at one fixed location - this is exactly the workforce shape TankhaPay's GPS attendance and multi-location payroll were built for.
Run it in-house at 50 depots. When you cross 500 and need a dedicated payroll team, switch to managed services on the same platform - no migration, no data loss.
From GPS-based attendance to trip-linked incentive pay - every logistics-specific requirement handled by the system, not reconciled manually from trip sheets.
Drivers and field staff mark attendance through the mobile app, with GPS location and geofencing confirming where they checked in from - no biometric device required, no manual register.
Trip-based, delivery-based or distance-based systems are calculated straight from your trip data, even when you have thousands of trips per driver per month, including proper application of night-out and halting allowance.
The slab and period for filing is unique to the state represented by the depot. TankhaPay uses the appropriate PT automatically depending on the state associated with each depot, eliminating the need for HR to do lookups manually.
The loaders and handlers that are hired under the agreement or casual nature are calculated using the minimum wage applicable to their state.
Logistics requirements increase during festival time and peak season. TankhaPay recruits the joiners into active payroll within a day and completes their F&F within the required statutory time; therefore, none of the hiring or attrition peaks results in a backlog.
Four steps. No manual trip reconciliation. No spreadsheet for halting allowance. No payroll errors on the night before disbursement.
Attendance data from drivers and field staff syncs automatically from the mobile app. No biometric device, no manual register.
Zero data entry effortTrip incentives, halting allowance, PF, TDS, and multi-depot PT calculations run automatically with current statutory rates.
Per worker, per trip, per depotDepot manager reviews and HR head approves via maker-checker. Anomalies flagged before disbursal - not discovered in the bank statement.
Anomalies flagged pre-runSalaries credited across every depot and driver. PF, PT, TDS - all filed. Payslips sent. Done before the statutory deadline.
