What does Indent mean in logistics?
Short answer
A shipper’s request to a transporter for vehicles, stating the number and type of trucks, loading point, destination and required reporting date and time.
Indian plants typically raise daily indents to contracted transporters. Placement against indent, on time and with the right vehicle type, is the first KPI most shippers measure. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
