NexGen Cargo Pty Ltd

Project Overview:

NexGen Cargo Pty Ltd has been a trusted partner for the Sri Lankan community in Australia since 1999, offering reliable and efficient cargo services from NSW, QLD, and ACT to destinations across Sri Lanka. Partnering with WEBS R US PTY LTD, NexGen sought to modernize its online presence with a comprehensive website revamp and advanced digital solutions. The result? A professional, user-friendly platform designed to streamline cargo bookings, automate shipment tracking, and enhance customer confidence through real-time updates.

What began as a modest WordPress website quickly evolved into one of the most sophisticated digital logistics ecosystems ever built by WEBS R US PTY LTD.
NexGen Cargo is now a multi-dashboard, AI-driven freight management platform connecting customers, warehouses, collection points, drivers, and call-centre teams in real time across Australia and Sri Lanka.

Built entirely on AWS Sydney Region with a 9-instance load-balanced cluster, the platform integrates operational, financial, and compliance layers into one unified digital infrastructure.
The result is an enterprise-grade system comparable to global logistics SaaS products — engineered 100% in-house by WEBS R US PTY LTD.

Key innovations include:

• Migration from box-based to CBM-based freight logic.

• AI-powered booking awareness tool for customs compliance.

• Real-time sync between all apps and dashboards via REST APIs.

• Full transparency through integrated Xero and VesselFinder APIs.

• Seamless data propagation ensuring one source of truth across the ecosystem.
