Overview
What is a logistics management system?
A logistics management system runs courier and delivery operations end to end: booking, routing, driver assignment, proof of delivery and settlement. Vero Logistics Management is Ants Creation's platform for courier companies, third-party logistics providers and distributors in Sri Lanka, replacing paper manifests and spreadsheet dispatch.
Consignments are captured and barcoded at booking, grouped into branch manifests and routed to drivers by area and load. Drivers capture a signature, photograph and timestamp at the point of delivery, customers follow progress through tracking notifications, and cash on delivery is reconciled with each agent.
Operations reporting shows delivery performance, exceptions and branch productivity, so managers see where deliveries are slipping while there is still time to act.
Because booking, dispatch, delivery and settlement share one record, every consignment can be traced from the counter where it was booked to the agent who settled its cash.

Driver and rider app
Is there a driver app with GPS tracking?
Yes. Drivers and riders use Vero Logistics Management’s progressive web app (PWA) on their phones, with GPS tracking, so dispatch can follow each driver’s location while deliveries are under way. In the same app they capture a signature, a photograph and a timestamp at the point of delivery.
What the app and the platform cover:
- Deliveries routed to drivers and riders by area and load
- GPS tracking through the driver and rider app
- Proof of delivery: signature, photograph and timestamp
- Customer tracking with status notifications
- Cash on delivery reconciled with each agent
Logibubble’s system, delivered on Vero Logistics Management, gives drivers their own portal for delivery schedules, status updates and proof of delivery. Read the Logibubble case study.
Common questions
Vero Logistics Management: frequently asked questions
What does a logistics management system do?
It runs delivery operations in one system, including booking, manifests, routing, driver assignment, proof of delivery, tracking and settlement, instead of paper manifests, spreadsheets and phone calls. Vero Logistics Management, Ants Creation’s platform for couriers, third-party logistics providers and distributors in Sri Lanka, adds a GPS-tracked app for drivers and riders and cash-on-delivery reconciliation.
Can drivers capture proof of delivery on a phone?
Yes. Drivers and riders use the Vero Logistics Management progressive web app (PWA) on their phones and capture a signature, a photograph and a timestamp at the point of delivery. The same app tracks drivers and riders by GPS, so dispatch can see where each one is, and customers are notified as their consignment moves.
Can customers track their deliveries?
Yes. Customer-facing tracking shows each consignment’s status, with notifications as it moves from booking through the branch manifests to delivery, so fewer customers need to call and ask where a parcel is. Drivers and riders are tracked by GPS through their app, and proof of delivery is captured when the parcel arrives.
How is cash on delivery handled?
Cash collected by drivers and agents is reconciled against delivered consignments in Vero Logistics Management, and agent settlement is recorded in the system. Money is matched to deliveries agent by agent, and every consignment can be traced from the counter where it was booked to the agent who settled its cash.
Can it receive orders from our clients’ systems?
Yes, as part of the project. Integrations, such as receiving orders directly from a client’s online store, are scoped during discovery and built by Ants Creation’s own engineers. Clients can also have their own portal to place orders, follow delivery status and see invoices, as in Logibubble’s system, delivered on Vero Logistics Management.
Can it handle several branches?
Yes. Consignments move between branches on manifests, and each branch’s volumes and productivity are reported separately, so managers can compare branches and see where deliveries slip. A Vero Logistics Management rollout starts with one branch going live first, with training for counter staff, dispatchers and drivers, before the remaining branches follow.
Can we see delivery performance by branch?
Yes. Operations reporting covers delivery performance, exceptions and branch productivity, so problems show up while there is still time to act. Because booking, dispatch, delivery and settlement share one record within Vero Logistics Management, reports are drawn from what happened to each consignment, not from spreadsheets compiled at the end of the day.
Is Vero Logistics Management cloud-based or on-premise?
Both. Vero Logistics Management can run in the cloud or on your own servers, and the choice is agreed during discovery, based on your branches, connectivity and IT policy. Either way, it is configured and supported by Ants Creation’s own team, and you can export your consignment, customer and settlement data at any time.
How is Vero Logistics Management licensed?
Vero Logistics Management is offered as a one-time licence or as a subscription, depending on the project. It is priced per module and per project, and quoted free of charge after discovery, once your branches, routes and users are clear. Whichever model you choose, you can export your consignment, customer and settlement data at any time.
How are dispatchers and drivers trained on Vero Logistics Management?
Training for Vero Logistics Management is usually delivered online, with recorded sessions that new drivers and riders can watch when they join. During the rollout, one branch goes live first, with training for counter staff, dispatchers and drivers, before the remaining branches follow. The training format for your project is confirmed in the proposal.
Is Vero Logistics Management supported after go-live?
Yes. Every Vero Logistics Management project includes a six-month bug-fixing warranty after go-live. After that, ongoing support and maintenance continue under a service level agreement (SLA) or an annual maintenance agreement, with fees and scope agreed separately. Support comes from Ants Creation’s own team, which builds the platform and its driver and rider app.
