Portus is cloud freight forwarding software for forwarders, NVOCCs and customs brokers who are still running operations across spreadsheets, email and WhatsApp. It keeps a shipment in one place from enquiry to invoice. A job is created once and carries the shipper and consignee, MBL and HBL records, containers, ports, dates, documents and costs, with the invoice raised against that same record. Quotation, job and invoice are three stages of one thing rather than three files that have to be reconciled later. Modules cover quotation and rate management, sea, air and land operations, MBL and HBL handling, multi-currency accounting with receivables and payables, HR, and reporting. Role-based access decides who sees rates and margins and who sees only operations. Pricing is flat and includes unlimited users. Most systems in this category charge per user or per transaction, which means a forwarder pays more for hiring an operations clerk or for having a good month. Portus does not, so the cost of the software stays predictable as the business grows. Browser-based, nothing to install, and set up per company rather than on shared infrastructure. Portus is built and supported by M.Y. Techlancer in Karachi, and runs in production with freight forwarding companies today.
The transition to Portus ERP has significantly increased speed and reduced human errors by centralizing information, allowing work that previously took a morning to be completed much faster. However, the system currently lacks sufficient AI integration, requiring users to still perform many tasks manually.
