Freight, delivery and warehousing
Logistics software for Bahrain's freight, delivery and warehouse teams
Custom logistics software for Bahraini forwarders, transport companies and warehouses moving goods on to Saudi Arabia and the wider Gulf: shipment files, cross-border paperwork, delivery apps, stock control and VAT invoicing.
Freight that passes through Bahrain on its way to Saudi Arabia
Bahrain works as a gateway for goods heading on to Saudi Arabia and other GCC markets. Cargo arrives by sea or by air at Muharraq, is stored or repacked, and leaves again by truck over the King Fahd Causeway. For a forwarder, one shipment can involve a shipping line, a warehouse, a broker on each side of the border and several trucks. We build software that keeps every leg under one shipment reference.
Cross-border paperwork is organised around your existing customs broker, not instead of them, and we do not submit declarations. The system holds a document checklist per shipment type, records what the broker has received and when, warns if a truck is booked before its file is complete, and keeps scans searchable by bill of lading, air waybill or truck plate. Your team and broker decide what each crossing needs.
Last-mile delivery across Manama, Muharraq and Riffa
Distances in Bahrain are short, but delivery days are dense: many drops, tight time windows and addresses given as building, road and block numbers or as a shared location. Dispatchers assign stops, reorder them during the day and see which are running late. The driver app works in Arabic and English, lists each stop with the customer's phone and items, and records proof of delivery as a signature, photos and a time and GPS stamp.
Cash on delivery and BenefitPay collections are recorded against each stop. Where your payment provider supports BenefitPay and shares transaction data, payments taken at the door are matched to the order automatically; otherwise the driver enters the BenefitPay reference and finance confirms it against the settlement report. At shift end each driver gets a sheet showing cash, card and BenefitPay totals in BHD to three decimals.
Warehouse stock, carrier links and freight invoices
In the warehouse, goods are received against the expected shipment, put away to bin locations and picked with handheld scanners. If your process keeps re-export stock apart from goods for the local market, the system does too, with owner, lot and expiry recorded for each pallet so one client's goods never mix with another's. Regular cycle counts replace the yearly shutdown count.
Where carriers and marketplaces offer APIs and give your account access, we connect to them to pull orders, create shipments and bring tracking status back; where they do not, scheduled file imports fill the gap. Freight, handling and storage charges become invoices with 10% VAT where it applies. Consignee names, phones and addresses are personal data under Law No. 30 of 2018, so access is limited by role and logged.

Questions
Logistics software: common questions
No. Declarations stay with your customs broker and the official systems they use. Our software organises the work around them: which documents each shipment needs, what the broker has received, who approved the file and when the truck can be released. It gives your team and your broker one shared view of every crossing.
