Freight Forwarder Website & Client Portal

We pull milestone data directly from carrier APIs — ocean lines, airlines, trucking providers — so status updates, ETAs, and route maps appear in your portal automatically. Nobody on your team is manually entering anything. How often the data refreshes depends on the carrier, but we typically configure it somewhere between every 15 minutes and every hour.

Yes. We've built REST API integrations with CargoWise, Magaya, Descartes, and most modern TMS platforms. If your system has an API or supports data exports, we can sync shipments, documents, and invoices in both directions. Got a legacy system with no API? We use scheduled file-based imports to handle that.

Documents sit in encrypted AWS S3 buckets with role-based access controls — each user only sees documents tied to their own shipments. We implement row-level security in Supabase, enforce HTTPS throughout, and support two-factor authentication for admin accounts. Every download and upload gets logged.

A full-featured portal with tracking, document vault, quoting, and invoicing typically takes 8–9 weeks from kickoff to launch. If you're starting with just tracking and documents, we can get that out the door in 5–6 weeks. The main variables are how many carrier APIs we're connecting and how complex your existing data is.

No app needed. The portal is a progressive web application — it runs in any browser on any device, desktop, tablet, or phone. Shippers just go to your branded URL. If you want it to feel more like a native app, we can add install-to-homescreen functionality so it lives on their phone without touching the app stores.

Absolutely. We build structured quote request forms that capture origin, destination, cargo details, and service level. Your team can generate quotes manually, or if you've got a rate engine, quotes can flow through that instead. Either way, approved quotes convert to bookings in a single click and everything stays searchable.
