Executive Summary

Kashberg, a software development agency based in Sialkot, Pakistan, built a comprehensive custom freight management platform for Transworld Cargo, a multinational international freight forwarding company headquartered in the United States, with offices in the UAE, UK, and Pakistan. The engagement began as a website rebuild after the client lost their previous site, and grew into a multi-module operational platform delivered in phases. Today, the platform processes 25–30 confirmed bookings per day, eliminates all manual rate sheet distribution, handles the full booking lifecycle digitally — from inquiry to invoice — and runs a Flutter mobile app on iOS and Android. The entire system was engineered on WordPress, demonstrating that disciplined custom development outperforms technology stack selection.

The Challenge

A freight company with no digital infrastructure to speak of.

Transworld Cargo — a multinational freight forwarder with offices across the USA, UAE, UK, and Pakistan — lost their website due to a poor developer relationship. What started as a request to simply get back online revealed a much deeper need: a unified digital system to run their entire global operation.

No Website
Lost their previous site entirely due to a bad developer relationship — no digital presence and no starting point.
Manual Rate Management
Carrier rate sheets maintained in Excel, manually emailed to staff — every rate change required re-editing and re-distribution across the team.
Constant Customer Interruptions
Customers called for booking updates, rate inquiries, and invoice copies — consuming staff time that should have been spent on growth.
Disconnected Operations
Inquiries, bookings, invoicing, and team access lived across unconnected tools with no unified workflow or role-based structure.
What We Built

From blank slate to a full freight management ecosystem.

What started as rebuilding a lost website became an ambitious, multi-module platform delivered in phases — built entirely on WordPress. A proof that the right engineering approach matters more than the stack.

01 / RATES

Live Rates Dashboard

Real-time freight rates by origin, destination, carrier, freight type, and size. Customers browse and book available spaces directly — no phone call required.

02 / OPERATIONS

Carrier Rate Sheet Engine

Upload carrier sheets in one click with granular fee structures per carrier — EU charges, BL fee, profit margins, destination costs — all propagated instantly across the platform.

03 / WORKFLOW

Full Booking Lifecycle

End-to-end management: inquiry intake, confirmation, drafts, invoicing, and status tracking — one unified workflow with role-appropriate access per team department.

04 / PORTAL

Customer Self-Service Portal

Customers track active bookings, access shipment history, download invoices, and view cargo analytics — without contacting the team for anything.

05 / ACCESS

Role-Based Team Access

Admin-assigned access for bookings, inquiry, and drafts & invoicing teams — each person sees only the information relevant to their function.

06 / MOBILE

Flutter Mobile App

Launched 6 months in on iOS and Android. Full booking management, customer portal access, and push notifications — the platform in your pocket.

07 / COMMS

Automated Notifications

Fully customised automated email notifications at every booking stage. The team no longer writes or sends manual status updates to customers.

08 / MARKETING

Push & Newsletter Broadcasting

Transworld sends email newsletters and mobile push notifications to all web and app users directly from the dashboard — their marketing channel, built in.

09 / INSIGHTS

Business Analytics Portal

A management-facing analytics view covering customers, booking volumes, revenue trends, and operational performance across the entire business.

Engagement Timeline

Delivered in phases. Grown over time.

Phase 1 — Foundation

Website Rebuild

Transworld Cargo came to Kashberg after losing their site entirely. We rebuilt their digital presence from scratch — a professional, fast WordPress site that restored their credibility online and gave them a foundation to grow.

Phase 2 — Core Platform

Freight Management System

Inspired by Phase 1, owner Syed Mehdi shared a much bigger vision. Kashberg scoped and delivered the full platform: live rates, booking lifecycle management, team portals, customer self-service, and the carrier rate engine.

Phase 3 — Mobile · Month 6

Flutter App Launch

Six months into the project, Kashberg launched the Flutter mobile app on iOS and Android — extending the full platform to customers and the Transworld team on mobile.

Ongoing — 2+ Years

Continued Operations & Growth

The platform is the operational backbone of Transworld Cargo's business. Kashberg continues to maintain, expand, and optimise the system as the business scales.

The Outcome

Operations that consumed time now run themselves.

  • Rate changes that once required editing Excel and re-emailing the whole team now take seconds — one update reflects instantly across the entire platform.
  • Customer booking status updates are fully automated. The team no longer sends manual status emails at any stage of the journey.
  • Customers self-serve invoices, booking history, and cargo details through their portal — drastically reducing inbound support volume.
  • 25–30 confirmed bookings processed daily, sustained over 2+ years — without proportionally scaling operational overhead.
  • Freed-up capacity has allowed Transworld Cargo to grow their business significantly with the same team doing substantially more.

"The idea was ambitious. We delivered it in modules — and it became the backbone of how Transworld Cargo operates every day."
