From Quote to Proof of Delivery on One Ledger
Control Shift is a Dubai software team that builds freight forwarding software for the UAE and GCC market. From a single trade lane to a global NVOCC network, we build shipment lifecycle management, multi-modal quoting, Bayan customs documentation and live track-and-trace — replacing email chains and spreadsheets with one platform for sales, ops and customers.
Quoting & Shipment Lifecycle
A forwarder wins on fast, accurate quotes and clean hand-offs. We build rate-card quoting across air, sea, truck and rail, and a shipment lifecycle that tracks every milestone from booking to delivery.
Rate-Card Quoting
Multi-modal quotes from carrier rate cards in minutes.
Shipment Lifecycle
Booking to POD with statuses logged and shared automatically.
Multi-Modal Tracks
Air, sea, road and rail legs in one chronological timeline.
Truck & Haulage
Local deconsolidation, last-mile and driver allocation.
Sales & Ops CRM
Shippers, consignees and quotes linked to every job.
Lane Dashboards
Margin per lane, carrier and salesperson, live.
Bayan & Documentation
Dubai runs on clean customs paperwork. We build Bayan-aware document workflows, shipment file management and compliance-ready records to keep cargo moving through Jebel Ali and GCC ports.
Bayan Declarations
Customs declaration data captured once, exported cleanly.
Shipping Docs
BL, AWB, CMR and packing lists generated per shipment.
Compliance Checks
Document completeness and filing readiness checks before submission.
Shipment Files

Invoicing & Rebates
Freight invoices, out-of-pocket costs and carrier rebates.
GCC-Ready
Configurable for UAE, Saudi and wider GCC customs regimes.
Track, Trace & Customer Portal
Shippers keep asking “where is my cargo?” forever — unless you give them a portal. We build real-time tracking and a white-label customer portal that cuts calls and wins renewals.
Live Track & Trace
Milestone and GPS visibility across every leg of the journey.
Customer Portal
White-label booking, document and rate visibility for shippers.

ETA, customs and delay notifications straight to WhatsApp/email.
