Why “any billing tool” isn’t enough for DTDC
Most billing software is built for generic businesses. DTDC Franchise partners need a specific workflow: DSR exports, HL codes, CPDP clients, weight-based pricing, and GST-compliant tax invoices plus consignment annexures.
Using a generic tool means more manual work, complex formulas, and no CPDP automation or DTDC-focused analytics. Courier Billing is built only for DTDC Franchises. Below is a side-by-side comparison.
