Overview

MSME freight at a glance

When your consignment is B2B—sample cartons, branch transfers or wholesale replenishment—AtlasShip shows multiple carriers on the same lane so you pick price and transit instead of a single courier contract.

  • Chargeable weight is shown before you pay (actual vs volumetric)

  • Compare surface and air for many metro lanes

  • LR, POD, GST invoices and weight corrections in one place

  • Who uses B2B parcel on AtlasShip

    Manufacturers dispatching cartons to distributors, marketplaces consolidating pickups from warehouses, and regional brands restocking stores across cities.

    If your shipment still fits parcel limits but needs LR visibility and commercial invoices, the B2B flow keeps finance and ops aligned.

  • When to step up to PTL or FTL

    When freight crosses parcel limits or carton count makes about 50 kg to multi-ton loads more economical, switch to part truck load. When you fill or nearly fill a truck, full truck load is the cleaner handoff.

    AtlasShip keeps the same booking discipline—lane, weight, carrier choice—but truck modes add dedicated space sharing or a full vehicle.

Problems faced by MSMEs

What a small business struggles with while shipping goods.

To customers and partners, and how AtlasShip fixes each one.

01 Problem

Trucks run half-empty or sit waiting for a full load

MSMEs pay for unused deck space or wait days to consolidate enough freight for a full truck.

How AtlasShip solves it

Right-sized FTL, without the wait

Book when you are ready; consolidate on our lanes or pick dedicated capacity when volume justifies it.

02 Problem

PTL shipments get delayed, damaged, or lost in hubs

Poor handling and uncertain transit times in shared-truck hubs hurt replenishment plans.

How AtlasShip solves it

Reliable PTL, with tracked handovers

Lane-based routing, carrier scans and LR/POD in the business dashboard.

03 Problem

No single dashboard to see the full picture

Tracking spread across courier sites makes it hard to promise delivery dates to customers.

How AtlasShip solves it

One dashboard for every shipment

Parcels, PTL and FTL in one place with invoices and milestones.

04 Problem

Confusion when sourcing from multiple vendors

Inbound consignments from many suppliers lack a single view for procurement.

How AtlasShip solves it

Every vendor, every consignment, one view

Reconcile purchase orders with LR and POD where inbound tracking is enabled.
