Allport Cargo Services is a UK-based freight forwarding and logistics company, operating in over 100 countries.
Blueberry built a bespoke web application for Allport which replaced an inefficient manual process with an easy-to-use step-by-step online portal for their customers to book courier services online.
As the size and weight of the parcel is entered, the system automatically calculates cost for the preferred delivery option. Behind the scenes, the system integrates with the public APIs of a number of courier services e.g. DHL and GB Mail.
The system was built using Blueberry’s Web Template framework and styled to match Allport’s corporate web presence.
The system has been in live use for three years. Blueberry’ support has been essential during this period as the couriers can sometimes change their API with little warning!
