Executive summary
A website rebuild that grew into an operational platform
Kashberg, a software development agency based in Sialkot, Pakistan, built a custom freight management platform for Transworld Cargo, a multinational freight forwarder 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, has eliminated manual rate sheet distribution, handles the full booking lifecycle digitally from inquiry to invoice, and runs a Flutter mobile app on iOS and Android — all engineered on WordPress.

The challenge
A freight company with no digital infrastructure to speak of
Transworld Cargo lost their website after a poor developer relationship. What started as a request to get back online revealed a deeper need: a unified digital system to run their global operation.
- No website: The previous site was lost entirely, leaving no digital presence and no starting point.
- Manual rate management: Carrier rate sheets were kept in Excel and emailed to staff, so every rate change meant re-editing and re-distributing.
- Constant customer interruptions: Customers phoned for booking updates, rate enquiries and invoice copies.
- Disconnected operations: Inquiries, bookings, invoicing and team access lived across unconnected tools with no role-based structure.
03
What we built
Nine modules, built entirely on WordPress
What started as rebuilding a lost website became a multi-module platform delivered in phases — proof that the right engineering approach matters more than the stack.
- Live rates dashboard: Real-time freight rates by origin, destination, carrier, freight type and size, with online space booking.
- Carrier rate sheet engine: One-click carrier sheet uploads with per-carrier fee structures, propagated across the platform.
- Full booking lifecycle: Inquiry intake, confirmation, drafts, invoicing and status tracking in one workflow.
- Customer self-service portal: Shipment tracking, history, invoice downloads and cargo analytics.
- Role-based team access: Admin-assigned access for the bookings, inquiry, and drafts and invoicing teams.
- Flutter mobile app: Launched on iOS and Android around month six, with booking management, portal access and push notifications.
- Automated notifications: Customised email updates at every booking stage.
- Push and newsletter broadcasting: Email and push messages to web and app users from the dashboard.
- Business analytics portal: Management views of customers, booking volumes, revenue trends and operational performance.

Engagement timeline
Delivered in phases, grown over time
Phase 1, foundation: A professional, fast WordPress site that restored Transworld Cargo's credibility online and gave them a foundation to grow.
Phase 2, core platform: The freight management system: live rates, booking lifecycle management, team portals, customer self-service and the carrier rate engine.
Phase 3, mobile (around month six): The Flutter app launched on iOS and Android, extending the platform to customers and the team.
Ongoing: Kashberg continues to maintain, expand and optimise the system as the business scales.

Operations that consumed time now run themselves
- 25–30 confirmed bookings processed daily through the platform.
- Rate changes that once meant editing Excel and re-emailing the team now take seconds — one update reflects across the whole platform.
- Booking status updates are fully automated; the team no longer sends manual status emails.
- Customers self-serve invoices, booking history and cargo details, reducing inbound support requests.
- The booking lifecycle, from inquiry to invoice, is handled digitally, and has run for over two years.
