Also serving Alleppey
In Alappuzha a fleet is as likely to be houseboats as lorries; either way each vessel or vehicle needs its trips, fuel, crew, licences and repairs tracked.

Say fleet in Alappuzha and think beyond trucks. An operator at Punnamada may run a dozen houseboats, each with an engine, a generator, air conditioners, a crew, an annual survey and a licence to renew. Seafood processors send insulated vehicles from the Aroor belt to Kochi's port and airport. Coir exporters move containers. In Kuttanad, combine harvesters and paddy lorries are hired and despatched across the polders during a harvest window of a few weeks.
Acube's fleet and dispatch management solution, built on ERPNext, keeps a master record for every vehicle or vessel with documents and renewal dates, plans trips and assigns crews, logs fuel and maintenance, connects with GPS tracking, records proof of delivery, and reports cost and profit by trip and by unit. For an Alleppey operator we adapt the terms and screens to boats where boats are the business.
Houseboats need valid registration, survey, insurance and pollution certificates, and a lapse can take a boat off the water in peak season. Document records with expiry alerts, sent weeks ahead, turn renewals into a planned task instead of a last-minute scramble.
Fuel is the biggest running expense for boats and trucks alike, and a tempting one to siphon. Logging each fill against engine hours or kilometres gives a consumption figure for every unit, and the outliers stand out within a month.
During the Kuttanad harvest, the owners of harvesters and lorries juggle requests from many polders by phone, and machines lose hours moving back and forth. A dispatch board showing requests, locations and machine status lets the operator sequence jobs sensibly and bill them accurately.
Backwater and houseboat tourism
A record for each boat with certificates, engine and generator service history, crew assignment by trip, fuel and provisioning cost per cruise, breakdown logs, and a profit view by boat that shows which vessels deserve refurbishment.
Seafood and inland fisheries
Trip planning for insulated and refrigerated vehicles from landing centres to plants and onward to port, driver settlements, temperature-sensitive delivery timings, fuel tracking, and cost per consignment charged to the export order. Ice and crate returns are logged with the trip.
Kuttanad paddy farming
Scheduling of combine harvesters, tractors and paddy lorries across padasekharams, hire billing by hour or acre, operator wages, machine maintenance between seasons, and transport of paddy to mills against procurement slips. Machines brought in from other states for the season are tracked the same way.
We begin at the jetty or the yard in Alappuzha, listing every unit, its papers and its maintenance history, because that master data is where most of the value lies. GPS devices already fitted are integrated where their provider permits. Dispatchers and supervisors are trained on site, and we schedule go-live away from the tourist peak and the harvest weeks.

Yes, with adaptation. The underlying needs are the same: an asset with documents, crew, trips, fuel and maintenance. We rename and adjust fields, use engine hours in place of kilometres, and add boat-specific items such as survey dates and safety equipment checks.
No. The system is useful for documents, maintenance, trips and costs without GPS. Where tracking is fitted, location and movement history enrich the trip record. On the backwaters, GPS also helps answer guest and safety queries about where a boat is.
For a single machine, a notebook will do. For owners and agencies handling many machines across several polders, even a short season involves large sums, and proper scheduling and billing usually recover more than the effort they take.
