Plan DPDP compliance work for logistics. Compare scope and cost drivers, prepare for a quote, and agree the assessment and implementation work.

Sushant Pasumarty5 September 2026

Price the work from booking to delivery

List where sender, recipient and driver details go. Include booking tools, driver apps, partner portals and support records.
Ask for one proposal covering the agreed assessment, changes and final review. The calculator helps prepare an estimate; fees come in a private, scoped quote.

What changes the price?

Area	Records and systems	What changes the work
Booking and delivery	Sender and recipient details, labels and proof of delivery	Number of booking channels, delivery apps and retained copies
Drivers and depots	Driver accounts, identifiable location logs and depot access records	Who sees the records, how long they are kept and changes needed in each system
Carrier and warehouse partners	Dispatch platforms, carriers, warehouse tools and support vendors	What each partner does with the data, what its contract covers and which systems can share updates

Questions for the legal review

Check which records identify a person. A parcel total and a driver’s location history need different reviews.
List the data each carrier and software provider receives. Check which purposes it decides and which work it does for you.
Use those roles to review the contracts and the connections that share data.

Documents and work included at each stage

Stage	Builds on	Adds
Data mapping	Your systems, forms and vendor list	A map of where personal data goes and who handles it.
Assessment: Four weeks	The data map	A gap report with findings and risk ratings.
Planning workshop	The map and gap report	A 90-day plan made with your team, vendor agreement templates and draft steps for giving or changing consent.
Implementation + Final assessment	The agreed plan and earlier documents	Two to three months of implementation, then a review of completed work and remaining actions.

Use the planning session to assign the fixes

Work through a failed delivery using the existing map and findings. Bring dispatch, operations, IT and the partner manager.
Agree who will change each document or system, when it is due and how completion will be checked.

Bring these inputs to the scoping call

Draw one booking-to-delivery journey, including failed deliveries and returns.
List the apps and partner portals that receive sender, recipient or driver details.
Bring blank labels, delivery records with personal details removed, and the settings for keeping and deleting records.
Name the operations and technology owners who can change the delivery workflow.

Before accepting a quote

Check the named systems, sites and teams. Agree access needs and staff availability.
Separate software fees, vendor changes, internal staff time and ongoing support.
Confirm which service stages you are buying and what the final review will cover.

Legal source

Check the DPDP Act and its start dates, and applicable rules with your adviser when setting the scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a logistics quote more complex?

Partner portals and driver apps may keep records for different periods. Each needs review. The quote should list the systems and partners included.

Does every tracking record contain personal data?

Check whether the record identifies or can be linked to a person. Aggregate parcel counts and identifiable driver location records call for different treatment.

How should we compare compliance proposals?

Compare the same booking, delivery and support journeys. Ask who will make each change, which system connections are included and which results the final assessment will check.
