LOGISTICS FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Key information regarding our logistics and supply chain website development services.

Can you connect the tracking bar to our existing TMS or carrier APIs? +

Yes. We build custom API connectors connecting your website's tracking search bar directly to CargoWise, Ramco, Blue Yonder, Descartes, or carrier tracking APIs (Maersk, MSC, FedEx, DHL) to return real-time milestone events.

How does the interactive freight rate calculator work? +

Shippers input pickup/delivery ports or pincodes, select cargo type (Air, Ocean FCL/LCL, Overland), and input dimensions or weights. The calculation engine applies your volumetric CBM formulas, fuel surcharges, and minimum rates to deliver an instant estimate or route the request to your pricing desk.

Can shippers receive automated WhatsApp notifications for delivery updates? +

Yes. We integrate the official WhatsApp Cloud API so when a consignment reaches major milestones (Customs Cleared, Out for Delivery, Delivered), an automated branded update is dispatched directly to the customer's phone.

How long does it take to develop a freight forwarding website? +

A high-converting logistics corporate flagship with quote forms takes approximately 3 to 5 weeks. A comprehensive freight portal with custom CBM calculators, live carrier tracking hooks, and customer extranets takes 6 to 9 weeks.

Can our internal team easily update sailing schedules and trade lane rates? +

Yes. We provide an intuitive administrative dashboard with CSV bulk upload support where your pricing and operations teams can update transit schedules, trade lane routes, and rate sheets in seconds without technical expertise.

Will our logistics website rank for international shipping routes on Google? +

Yes. We deploy comprehensive programmatic trade lane SEO architecture with LogisticsService schema structured data, ranking your services for lucrative commercial search terms like "air cargo shipping rates to Europe".
