Multimodal logistics is no longer just about moving goods from Point A to Point B. It’s about doing so with precision, visibility, compliance, and cost efficiency. That’s where multimodal logisticscomes in-leveraging multiple modes of transportation (road, rail, air, sea) to deliver goods with speed and resilience. However, managing this complexity requires more than spreadsheets and phone calls. It demands technology.
Enter Settyl, a next-gen logistics orchestration platform purpose-built for multimodal supply chains. Whether you’re managing a full truckload within a city or coordinating EXIM shipments across continents, Settyl empowers businesses with the tools to drive collaboration, reduce freight costs, improve compliance, and make every mile traceable.
Let’s dive deep into how Settyl is revolutionizing multimodal logistics, feature by feature.
Effective multimodal logistics starts with strong vendor collaboration. Settyl’s Vendor Portal creates a digital space where shippers, carriers, 3PLs, and freight forwarders can work in sync.
This seamless connectivity ensures zero delays in planning, dispatching, and fulfillment-especially when multiple partners are involved in a single shipment.
Traditional procurement methods are slow, opaque, and error-prone. Settyl simplifies freight procurement with digitized Request for Proposal (RFP) and Request for Quotation (RFQ) workflows.
This feature accelerates contract logistics and supports both spot and long-term freight sourcing.
Need to move cargo fast and at the best price? Settyl’s Live Auction engine lets you float time-sensitive bids and watch vendors compete in real-time.
The result: 20-30% savings on urgent or ad-hoc freight moves while maintaining service levels.
Procurement isn't just about rates-it’s about smart decision-making. Settyl offers quote comparison analytics that help you evaluate vendor performance beyond cost.
Make data-backed choices that optimize both spend and service.
Negotiation often slows down logistics cycles. Settyl automates initial price discussions using chat-based bots and templates.
This enables faster closures and reduces manual intervention for logistics managers.
Rate cards are the foundation of freight planning and cost control. Settyl provides a robust Rate Card Management System for domestic and international lanes.
This ensures consistency, transparency, and contract compliance.
FTL moves are all about cost, capacity, and visibility. Settyl’s FTL module enables end-to-end planning and execution.

From dispatch to delivery, every FTL leg is managed with precision.
For smaller loads or fragmented deliveries, Settyl supports PTL (Part Truck Load) and Courier orchestration.
This gives your team the flexibility to choose the most cost-effective shipping mode on the fly.
Visibility in fragmented networks is tough-but not with Settyl. We’ve built a global API ecosystem that taps into PTL and courier tracking feeds.
This ensures proactive customer communication and SLA compliance.
Settyl automates one of the most time-consuming tasks in Indian logistics-e-Way Bill generation.
This removes the friction of manual entry and ensures compliance with GST norms.
It’s not enough to generate e-Way Bills-you need to track their validity and extend them as needed.
This avoids legal penalties and delivery delays for in-transit shipments.
Your route choices define your cost and speed. Settyl uses AI to offer Smart Routing suggestions.
The result is 10–15% faster delivery and fewer delays due to human errors.
Carrier no-shows and late arrivals cost businesses dearly. Settyl enables real-time vehicle placement visibility and fallback reallocation.
Your planning team stays on top of execution without firefighting.
Before every shipment, carriers must provide valid documents. Settyl automates this check.
This improves safety, reduces delays at check posts, and ensures legal compliance.
Digital workflows meet real-world checks. Settyl enables visual vehicle inspections before trip start.
This ensures vehicle hygiene and prevents damage claims at delivery.
For true multimodal orchestration, real-time tracking is a must. Settyl supports multiple tracking modes:
This layered visibility ensures no trip is left unmonitored.
Cold chain logistics need constant temperature oversight. Settyl integrates with IoT sensors for live temperature tracking.
Ensure product integrity from warehouse to last mile.
Every handover in logistics creates risk. Settyl’s Pin Board feature ensures photo and timestamp evidence of:
This adds accountability and supports claims in case of disputes.Electronic Proof of Delivery (ePOD)
Say goodbye to paper PODs. With Settyl, your deliveries are closed with secure ePOD workflows.
This ensures authenticity, instant closure, and faster invoicing.
Unproductive truck time kills margins. Settyl auto-monitors detention and calculates cost impacts.
This helps both shippers and carriers reduce TATs collaboratively.
Freight invoices often have errors or overcharges. Settyl automates validation against agreed rate cards.
This reduces billing disputes and speeds up settlement cycles.
Finally, Settyl completes the logistics loop with automated invoicing and settlement workflows.
This ensures faster cash cycles and improves vendor relationships.
Multimodal logistics is not a trend-it’s a necessity. As supply chains become more fragmented, customer expectations rise, and regulations tighten, businesses can no longer afford disconnected tools and outdated systems.
Settyl is built for this future. From planning to proof of delivery, from cold chains to courier shipments, every module is connected, intelligent, and ready to scale. Whether you’re a global manufacturer, a domestic distributor, or a 3PL partner, Settyl gives you the control and insight to orchestrate logistics like never before.
