The Kitab Vitran App is a state wide digital platform built to ensure transparent and accountable distribution of textbooks and Teaching Learning Materials (TLM) across government schools in Uttar Pradesh. It digitizes the entire logistics lifecycle from printing and dispatch to school level delivery ensuring books reach intended students without delay or diversion. Designed as a real time tracking ecosystem, the platform enables geo verified monitoring and multi level accountability across the education supply chain.
01
Before digitization, textbook distribution relied on manual reporting and fragmented tracking, leading to delays, lack of end-to-end traceability, risk of diversion or unauthorized resale, and no real time verification. Managing distribution across thousands of schools was operationally complex, and in a state as large as Uttar Pradesh, even small inefficiencies resulted in significant delays and resource wastage.

The platform was designed to digitize and monitor the entire textbook distribution lifecycle while enabling real time transparency across multiple supply chain levels. It aimed to prevent leakage and unauthorized diversion through geo verified delivery confirmation and strengthen administrative oversight using role based monitoring. The system was also built to scale reliably, supporting the high volume demands of state wide distribution.

ManpraX developed an end-to-end logistics digitization platform that ensures accountability at every stage of textbook distribution. Books are logged and grouped into QR coded batches at the manufacturing stage, then scanned and verified at district, block, and school levels. This multi level, QR enabled workflow creates a structured, real time validation system across the entire supply chain, ensuring traceability and controlled delivery at scale.
The platform integrates enterprise grade logistics management with mobile first verification workflows. Multi level QR tracking and GPS based geo tagging ensure precise traceability and location verified distribution across every checkpoint.
Built on Odoo ERP for backend supply chain orchestration and a Flutter based cross platform mobile application, the system leverages AWS RDS and AWS EC2 infrastructure to ensure scalable, secure, and reliable operations.
Architected for high volume, state wide transaction loads, the platform maintains real time data accuracy and system stability even across massive distribution networks.
Digitally connected across Uttar Pradesh.
Improved access to timely textbook delivery.
Teachers and Shiksha Mitras using the platform.
Greater transparency, faster delivery, reduced leakage, and real time administrative oversight.
The platform uses dual level QR tracking at both batch and individual book levels, enabling precise traceability across the supply chain. This approach reduces discrepancies and ensures verified distribution at every checkpoint.
Each scan captures real time GPS location through mobile devices, ensuring location verified confirmation at every distribution stage and preventing fraudulent reporting or false delivery claims.
The distribution follows structured stages Mark as Ready, In Transit, and Received ensuring systematic tracking of each movement. This provides administrators real time, state wide visibility and control.
The platform uses role based access, where manufacturers log dispatch, district and block officers verify distribution, schools confirm receipt, and field verifiers validate records ensuring accountability across every level.
The Kitab Vitran App was a large scale logistics engineering initiative integrating ERPdriven supply chain workflows with mobile based verification systems. A key challenge was enabling multi level distribution tracking while maintaining real time data accuracy at high transaction volumes. Dual layer QR verification required careful database structuring to ensure individual book traceability without impacting performance. Geo tagged verification added further complexity, as each checkpoint needed accurate GPS capture while remaining usable for field stakeholders. The final system balanced enterprise grade logistics precision with mobile simplicity, enabling efficient, real world adoption across the education network.
The Kitab Vitran App represents a transformative step in digitizing educational logistics at a state scale. By combining ERP driven supply chain management with mobile first verification and geolocation tracking, the platform ensures that government provided educational resources reach students transparently and efficiently. The project highlights ManpraX’s capability in building large scale governance and public sector technology platforms, delivering solutions that combine operational efficiency, accountability, and real world impact.
