Courier Billing Software Pricing: What DTDC Franchises Should Compare

Courier Billing prices at a glance

The yearly base prices are ₹4,990 for Starter, ₹7,990 for Growth and ₹11,990 for Professional. Compare the amount due for the selected interval, and check the payment summary for the final payable amount.

The current pricing page lists the features included with each plan. Use it alongside your own month-end checklist.

1. Compare volume limits against a busy month

Count consignments, not the number of invoices you send. One corporate client may receive a single monthly invoice covering hundreds of bookings. A small invoice count therefore does not imply a small consignment workload.

Look at a normal month and your busiest recent month. At 480 consignments, Starter fits the listed limit, but a rise to 650 puts the month in the Growth range. At more than 1,500, compare Professional. Ask how usage is counted and when an upgrade becomes necessary before importing a peak-season file.

Also compare what staff still do by hand. Time spent correcting mismatched CNs or rebuilding annexures belongs in your evaluation even though it does not appear on a subscription invoice.

2. Price the number of franchises you need

Multi-franchise accounts use Professional. It includes up to 3 franchises; each additional location costs ₹300 per month, up to 10 on one account.

For four franchises, the current total is ₹1,499/month or ₹14,990/year. This gives you a concrete comparison against a quote that charges separately for every location.

Use the multi-franchise management overview to check workspace fit. In your evaluation, switch locations and confirm the franchise identity, client setup and invoice details before running a sample bill.

3. Test Excel/DSR and CPDP support with real examples

Ask to test the export you already use. A generic spreadsheet importer is useful only if the resulting CNs, dates, weights and amounts can be checked and assigned to the right billing client.

Include a CPDP client with an HL code, an ordinary client and a row that needs correction in your trial. Check the upload preview, failed-row handling and assignment results. This small test reveals more about operational fit than a list of automation labels.

The courier billing software overview describes how these steps connect. Record any manual work that remains so you can compare alternatives on the same basis.

4. Inspect the GST PDF your clients will receive

Generate a sample invoice and open every page. Check the franchise and recipient details, invoice number, GST split, final total and the CN-level annexure. Confirm that the customer can trace a questioned charge back to a booking.

Try finding a previously generated invoice and downloading it again. If your process involves corrections, check which plan includes regeneration and how you will retain the issued documents. Evaluate invoice output separately from any filing or accounting service your business also needs.

5. Ask these questions before switching

• Does the selected plan cover our busiest monthly consignment count?
• What is the total for our franchise count and chosen billing interval?
• Can we reconcile imported, skipped and failed rows back to our export?
• Do CPDP/HL matches and client rate slabs produce the expected charges?
• Can a client understand the invoice and its annexure without a separate spreadsheet?
• How will we keep old invoices and avoid billing the same period in both systems?

Choose one completed client billing period as a reference. Reproduce it during the trial and compare the CN list, taxable subtotal and final PDF with your checked records. Resolve differences before using the new workflow for a live billing run.
