New Delhi [India], March 11: When a food company grows from a single home-based venture in Ludhiana to a distribution network spanning 65+ countries, freight visibility is not an operational preference; it is what separates a functioning supply chain from one that is constantly catching up.
Mrs. Bectors Food Specialities Ltd, the company behind the Cremica biscuit brand and English Oven bakery products, has partnered with logistics technology firm Traqo to bring real-time tracking and automation to its distribution network. The tie-up spans the full breadth of the company's operations retail stores, quick-service restaurant chains, and B2B channels across India, alongside international freight movements reaching markets across six continents.
The Problem with Scale
Growth adds complexity. For Mrs. Bectors, scaling across six bakery plants and multiple warehouses while simultaneously managing export commitments meant that logistics coordination had quietly become one of the company's most demanding operational challenges. Shipment visibility was limited, decisions were delayed waiting for updates that arrived too late, and manual processes that once worked at a smaller scale were struggling to hold up across a network of this size. The larger the operation grew, the more exposed those gaps became.
Tahmir Khan, Sr. Manager - IT Application at Mrs. Bectors Food Specialities Ltd, said:
"Before Traqo, our visibility into in-transit shipments was reactive; we knew about delays after they happened. Now, with GPS, SIM, and FASTag-based tracking integrated into one platform, our teams can act on exceptions in real time rather than chasing updates across departments."
What the Rollout Covers
The implementation took two years to complete. Today, all six bakery plants in Greater Noida, Bhiwadi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Kolkata run on the Traqo platform, with processes spanning freight auction, rate finalization, real-time tracking, and automated settlement.
Bakery Transportation
Around 3,600 trips move through this vertical every month. Each shipment is tracked in real time via GPS, SIM, and FASTag. Electronic proof of delivery (ePOD) is recorded at the point of receipt, and freight settlement is processed within the platform reducing the need for manual reconciliation.
Biscuit Distribution
Across 17 warehouses, the system handles real-time proof of delivery, automated alerts, performance tracking, and exception management. When something goes off-plan, the platform flags it rather than waiting for someone to notice.
Ocean Freight
More than 300 import and export containers are tracked every month. Milestone monitoring and delay alerts give the logistics team a live view of international shipments, supporting Mrs. Bectors' export commitments across over 65 countries.
Nikhil Maurya, Head of Engineering at Traqo, said:
"Mrs. Bectors operates across road and ocean freight simultaneously, which means the platform needs to handle very different data streams GPS and FASTag for domestic trips, container milestone APIs for EXIM. Integrating these into a unified dashboard with automated alerts and ePOD capture was the core engineering challenge we solved together."
