About GSL Corp
GSL Corp is an international freight forwarder moving containers for importers and exporters. Its customers want quick quotes and certainty about where their cargo is, at any hour.
The challenge
In freight, the first forwarder to send a credible quote often wins the job, and once cargo is moving, customers chase updates by phone and email. GSL Corp needed a freight forwarding website that handled both on its own: instant rates for new enquiries and self service tracking for existing customers.
What we built
An international freight forwarding portal
Pages for each service and lane, so importers and exporters can see quickly whether GSL Corp handles their route.
An automated container rate calculator
Customers enter origin, destination and container type and get an indicative rate in moments, then send it to the team to confirm.
Live cargo tracking
A shipment tracking portal where customers enter a reference and see where their cargo is, without calling the office.
How we did it
- (01)
Learn the quoting rules
We sat with the team to understand how lanes and containers are priced.
- (02)
Connect the data
Rates and tracking were linked to the client's own systems, so customers see current information.
- (03)
Build for the field
The logistics website development focused on phones and slow connections, because customers check from ports and warehouses.
- (04)
Launch with the team
Sales and operations staff were walked through the tools, and early quotes were checked by hand before the calculator ran on its own.
