In the landscape of India’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, the e-way bill has become a cornerstone of logistics and supply chain management. Any movement of goods valued at over ₹50,000 (for inter-state) requires a digitally generated document to track the transit and ensure tax compliance. However, for businesses handling hundreds of shipments daily, manual entry on the government portal is not just tedious—it is a significant bottleneck that risks costly errors and transit delays.
Saral by Relyon offers a high-performance e-way bill generation software designed to bridge the gap between your accounting records and the GST portal. By automating the data flow, Saral ensures that your logistics remain fluid, your compliance remains perfect, and your team stays focused on growth rather than data entry.
Why Modern Businesses Need Automated E-Way Bill Software
The manual process of generating e-way bills involves logging into the government portal, re-entering invoice details, and manually matching HSN codes. This “double-entry” system is the primary cause of clerical errors, which can lead to the impounding of vehicles or heavy penalties during roadside inspections.
1. Speed and Efficiency
Time is the most critical asset in logistics. Manual generation can take 5–10 minutes per bill. For a distributor processing 50 invoices a day, that is nearly a full workday lost to administration. E-way bill software reduces this time to seconds by pulling data directly from your billing or ERP system.
2. Accuracy and Validation
A single digit wrong in a GSTIN or a mismatched HSN code can invalidate an e-way bill. Saral’s software includes built-in validation checks that flag errors before they are uploaded to the portal, ensuring that the document in the driver’s hand is 100% compliant.
3. Real-Time Tracking and Management
Managing the lifecycle of an e-way bill—including cancellations, rejections, and extensions of validity—is difficult via the web portal. Dedicated software provides a centralized dashboard where you can see the status of every shipment in real-time.
Key Features of Saral E-Way Bill Software
When selecting an e-way bill generation software, it is essential to look for features that simplify the “Invoice-to-Transit” journey. Saral is built with the following core functionalities:
A. Bulk Generation via JSON
Instead of uploading invoices one by one, Saral allows you to select multiple invoices and generate JSON files in bulk. This is a game-changer for wholesalers and manufacturers who need to clear their loading docks quickly at the end of the day.
B. Seamless API Integration
For larger enterprises, Saral offers direct GSP (GST Suvidha Provider) integration. This allows the software to communicate directly with the government’s servers. You can generate, cancel, or update e-way bills with a single click, without ever having to visit the e-way bill portal manually.
C. Consolidated E-Way Bills
If you are a transporter moving goods from multiple suppliers in a single vehicle, Saral simplifies the creation of “Consolidated E-Way Bills.” You can group multiple individual bills into one master document for the driver, significantly simplifying the inspection process.
D. Automated Distance Calculation
One of the most common points of failure in e-way bills is the “Distance in KM” field, which determines the bill’s validity period. Saral integrates with mapping tools to automatically calculate the distance between the “from” and “to” PIN codes, ensuring the validity period is accurate and legally sound.
The Strategic Impact on Your Supply Chain
Implementing e-way bill software is not just an IT upgrade; it is a strategic move that affects your entire business ecosystem.
-
For the Warehouse Manager: It means faster vehicle turnaround times and less congestion at the loading bay.
-
For the Accountant: It means a perfect audit trail where every e-way bill is linked directly to a sales invoice, making GST reconciliation effortless.
-
For the Business Owner: It means peace of mind. Knowing that your goods won’t be detained at a state border due to a documentation error protects your brand reputation and ensures customer satisfaction.

Future-Proofing with E-Invoicing Integration
As the government continues to lower the threshold for mandatory E-Invoicing, having a software solution that can handle both e-invoices and e-way bills simultaneously is vital. Saral offers an integrated environment where the generation of an e-invoice can automatically trigger the generation of the corresponding e-way bill, creating a “zero-touch” compliance workflow.
Expert Insight: “In the digital tax era, compliance should be a background process, not a primary task. The right software turns a legal requirement into an operational advantage by removing the friction from the logistics chain.”
