n the fast-paced world of road transport, companies operating with FTL (Full Truck Load) models are facing a major shift. Not just because of rising expectations for speed and transparency, but also due to new laws pushing mandatory digitalization, even for freelancers and small transport companies. That’s where a modern TMS (Transport Management Software) like Guraify TMS on Odoo, equipped with AI tools and full compliance with systems like TicketBAI, SII and eInvoicing, becomes your perfect partner.
1. How new invoicing laws impact small transport businesses
a. What’s changing?
In the near future, all transport companies, including freelancers and micro-enterprises, will be required to issue electronic invoices only. No more paper, no exceptions. This is part of a broader government push toward full tax transparency.
b. What does this mean for FTL carriers?
It means you'll need certified software that can automatically generate e-invoices and send data to tax authorities in real-time, using tools like SII (Immediate Information System) or regional frameworks like TicketBAI.
c. Why Guraify TMS is ready for it
Guraify TMS on Odoo is already certified and compliant. It provides:
- Automatic invoicing triggered by orders or completed trips
- Seamless reporting to tax agencies
- Built-in document management for audits
- Integration with accounting and banking modules
2. The FTL transport game: different service models explained
FTL transport may seem simple—one truck, one client—but there are several ways to execute these services. Each model comes with its own challenges, and you need the right software to manage them efficiently.
A. Single-client FTL – Direct Trip
The classic scenario: one shipment, one truck, no changes, from pickup to delivery with the same tractor-trailer.
With Guraify TMS, you can:
- Automatically plan the most profitable routes
- Check real-time availability of trucks and drivers
- Manage driving hours with tachograph data
- Generate an e-invoice as soon as the trip ends
B. Single-client FTL – Multi-leg Trip or Transshipment
Sometimes, one truck won’t do the job. You might need to change tractors, trailers, or transship goods at a hub. It’s still FTL, but more complex.
Guraify TMS helps you:
- Split a shipment into multiple legs
- Assign different resources per leg, respecting legal and technical limits
- Optimize route planning using AI to reduce empty kilometers
- Track every step with full visibility
C. Multi-client FTL/LTL – Shared Loads & Hubs
This hybrid model mixes FTL and LTL, combining multiple client orders in one journey. You may use HUBs, trailer swaps, and mixed loading to maximize truck usage and profitability.
With Guraify TMS and TrafficLive, you can:
- Handle multiple clients and legs in one transport plan
- Coordinate hubs, loading points, and handovers
- Track service levels and timing for each client
- Automate invoicing per client, per leg, or per load
