What is Import & Export Web Portal Development?
Sabka Saathi builds a web portal for import and export businesses in India. A logged-in portal where your customers, staff or partners do their business with you themselves. For import and export businesses specifically, that means shipment records with document checklist per consignment, landed cost computation including duty, freight and clearing, and multi-currency invoicing and realisation tracking. Typical delivery is 6–12 weeks at ₹40,000 – ₹2,50,000+, built on Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and delivered remotely to exporters, importers and trading houses anywhere in India.

Why import & export projects are different
Web Portal Development for import and export businesses is not the same project as it is for any other sector. In import & export, every shipment carries a stack of documents that must agree with each other, in currencies that move while goods are in transit. That single fact changes what the software has to get right — and it is the thing generic, off-the-shelf products are least willing to accommodate. We build a web portal around it instead.
Most import and export businesses do not fail to adopt software because they dislike technology. They fail because the product on offer was designed for a different business and asks them to change their process to suit it. We start from your process. Exporters, importers and trading houses tell us how the work happens today — including the parts that only exist in someone's head — and the web portal is shaped to that. The queries that used to arrive by phone get answered by the portal, at 2am, without anyone picking up.
What import & export teams actually struggle with
Shipment documents are prepared separately and disagree
Role-based logins for each type of user — built into the web portal rather than bolted on afterwards.
Landed cost per consignment is calculated after clearance
Self-service records, documents and status tracking — built into the web portal rather than bolted on afterwards.
Currency movement between order and payment is not tracked
Notification and email flows tied to real status changes — built into the web portal rather than bolted on afterwards.

Technology we build it on
From first call to handover
We start with a discovery call to map how your import & export operation runs today. You then see a clickable prototype before development is committed, so the shape of the thing is agreed while changing it is still cheap. Development runs in weekly builds you can open and use — not a black box that reappears at the end. Delivery takes 6–12 weeks for a typical import & export project, and we hand over source code, documentation and training.

Import & Export Web Portal Development FAQs
How much does Import & Export Web Portal Development cost in India?
Import & Export Web Portal Development from Sabka Saathi typically costs ₹40,000 – ₹2,50,000+, depending on scope. A focused build covering role-based logins for each type of user sits at the lower end; a full system including search and filtering across large record sets sits at the upper end. We quote a fixed price against an agreed scope after a free discovery call, so there is no hourly billing surprise.
How long does it take to build a web portal for import and export businesses?
A typical import & export web portal project takes 6–12 weeks from discovery to launch. You see a working prototype in the first two weeks and weekly builds after that, so progress is visible throughout rather than only at the end.
Why do import and export businesses need a web portal specifically?
Because every shipment carries a stack of documents that must agree with each other, in currencies that move while goods are in transit. The direct consequence is one most import and export businesses will recognise: shipment documents are prepared separately and disagree. A generic product does not solve that — it needs shipment records with document checklist per consignment. The queries that used to arrive by phone get answered by the portal, at 2am, without anyone picking up.
What technology is used to build it?
We build on Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS. These are mainstream, well-documented technologies chosen deliberately so that any competent developer can maintain the system later — you are not locked into us. Source code and documentation are handed over at project close.
Do you work with import and export businesses outside major cities?
Yes. Delivery is remote — discovery calls, design reviews and weekly builds all happen online — so we work with import and export businesses across 258+ cities in 36 states, including district towns and smaller centres, on the same terms as metro clients.
Can it integrate with the software we already use?
Usually yes. We integrate with GST billing tools, Tally exports, payment gateways, WhatsApp Business API, logistics partners and most systems that expose an API or a file export. Where a system does not, we plan a migration path rather than forcing you to run both in parallel indefinitely.
Web Portal Development in your city
Delivery is remote, so location is never a constraint. These are the cities with a dedicated page covering local context, pricing and process.
