Freight forwarding specialists who have shipped the whole thing
Freight software is an unusually unforgiving domain: master and house bills, containers, multi-currency charges, and a government that expects every invoice reported correctly. We know it because we built a complete freight ERP and now run it for forwarders in Pakistan.

Why us
We did not learn freight from a requirements document
Most software teams meet freight forwarding for the first time on your project, and you pay for that education. We arrived at it the same way — but we finished, and then kept going: the system we built for our first forwarder became Cargonio, a product we own, sell and support.
That means we already know what a house bill is, why a job number is per branch and per fiscal year, why a finalised invoice must be voided rather than deleted, and what happens when a government endpoint is down on the afternoon your invoices are due. Those are the questions that usually surface in month three of a build.

What we build
Where the domain knowledge shows.
Freight invoicing
Local and international invoices, charge codes, credit notes and refunds, in multiple currencies, tied to the shipment they belong to rather than typed again into an accounts package.
Government tax integration
PRA and FBR e-IMS reporting: tax calculated, invoices fiscalized one at a time or in bulk, official fiscal numbers stamped back onto the record, and every submission logged for audit.
Accounting that balances
A double-entry core underneath the freight — chart of accounts, vouchers, banking and financial statements — fed automatically when a document is finalised, and reversed cleanly when it is un-finalised.
HR, payroll & the back office
Freight companies are businesses too. Employees, attendance, leave, payroll and an employee self-service portal, in the same platform as the shipments rather than a second system nobody reconciles.
Reporting for the people who ask
Operational, MIS and financial reports with filters, grouping, totals and CSV export — written after watching someone export to Excel and pivot it by hand.

Questions
What clients ask us first.
Do we have to take your product, or can you build us our own?
Either. Most forwarders are better served by Cargonio — the work is already done, tested and running, and you get a branded workspace with the modules you need. A bespoke build makes sense when your operation genuinely differs from the norm, and we will tell you honestly which case you are in rather than selling you the more expensive one.
How does the PRA and FBR reporting actually work?
Your team invoices as normal. The invoice carries the freight context — house and master bill, party, charges and tax — and syncs to the government system, which returns an official fiscal number that is stored on the record. It can be done one invoice at a time or as a bulk run against a backlog, with every request and response logged so a failure is traceable rather than mysterious.
We already run an old desktop freight system. Can you migrate us?
That is the usual starting point — most forwarders we meet are on decade-old desktop software, and some are on spreadsheets. We read the existing system first, map its master data and open jobs, and move you across in stages rather than switching everything on a Monday morning. Historic data usually comes over as reference; live jobs are the careful part.
Can it handle our accounts, or do we keep a separate package?
It handles them. Billing posts straight into a double-entry ledger, so an invoice raised against a shipment appears in the accounts without re-keying, and the trial balance never mixes currencies because every figure is stored with its base-currency twin. Firms that want to keep an existing accounts package can export instead — but the reconciliation work comes back.
