Steel & Metals
Traqo for Steel & Metals handles heavy-haul FTL, multi-modal rail-and-road, and trailer-based dispatch across plants and depots. Customers digitize weighbridge slips, automate regional dispatch documents (e-Way Bill in India, ZATCA in KSA, GCC VAT), and track every consignment through SIM-GPS — eliminating freight leakage across high-tonnage lanes with full audit on every kilometre.
When the freight bill is a serious line item, you need serious controls. Built for steel, aluminium, and metals shippers running heavy FTL networks.
₹1,800 Cr+ freight auctioned annually for metals customers
What's broken today
The cost of the status quo.
Pain 01
Freight is 6-9% of cost. A 1% leak is real money.
Pain 02
Spot rates swing weekly. Procurement can't keep up over phone.
Pain 03
Disputes around weight, demurrage, and detention pile up at month-end.
