Software for freight forwarders
The forwarder's desk, on one screen.
Setubandh keeps every booking, container, document and status report in one place — so your team answers from the record, not from memory.
What runs today
Working software, not a slide.
-
The booking board
Every shipment by stage, at a glance — what is waiting, what is late, what is done.
-
The daily status report
The DSR builds itself from the bookings — no spreadsheet to keep up by hand.
-
Live tracking, per container
Carrier events arrive on their own, for each container, transshipments included.
-
Every change, on the record
Who changed what, and when. A question about a shipment has an answer you can show.
-
Your data, walled off
Each forwarder's data is separated by the database itself, not only by the screens.
The problems we end
The everyday work that eats a forwarder's day — some ended today, the rest on the timeline below.
- Disputes over who said what
- Settled by the record: every update carries a name and a time.
- "Where is my box?" calls
- The latest carrier event for each container, ready before the phone rings.
- The DSR built by hand in a spreadsheet
- Generated from the bookings themselves, every day, for every customer.
- Retyping into the accounts
- The job's charges flow to the invoice and out to your accounts — typed once.
- Missed cut-offs
- SI, VGM and gate cut-offs turn amber before they are due and red when they pass.
- Chasing SI and BL drafts
- Drafts made from the booking, with their status in plain sight until they are approved.

An assistant that does the work
Ask the way you speak — English, Hindi or Hinglish. The assistant works through the same screens and permissions as you, and every action it takes is on the record as done on your behalf.
It asks before it acts. Nothing is sent to a customer, charged or deleted until you confirm.
