About us

Built by operators who got tired of guessing where their cargo was.

Sonargaon Transport Agency runs heavy cargo across Bangladesh, with a back-office and customer portal that match what international logistics companies deliver — at BD rates.

Our story

Started by operators, not investors.

Sonargaon Transport Agency began in Narayanganj running cement haulage for a single contract — three trucks, a dispatcher, and a phone. Within a year the customer asked for a second contract on a different route. Within five years the same operators were running fifty trucks across all eight divisions, but they were still tracking everything in ledgers and WhatsApp groups.

That mismatch — modern fleet, paper-era back-office — is why this company built its own dispatch system instead of adopting an off-the-shelf TMS. Every Quotation, Challan, Bill and Money Receipt flows through one ledger. Every trip carries a live GPS feed. Every customer sees their own portal — the same data the dispatcher sees, just scoped to their projects.

We're still operator-led. Decisions about which trucks to run, which contracts to take, and how to price get made by people who've been on the ground at 4 AM at a cement plant gate. That's the difference customers notice — the back-office talks the same language as the road.

Why customers stay

Three things you stop worrying about.

Visibility

Live GPS on every active trip, in a portal you log into yourself.

Paper trail

Quotation → Challan → Bill → Money Receipt. Every PDF, every signature, every timestamp captured.

No surprises

Per-trip or per-ton rates locked into your contract. Demurrage and detention disclosed up-front.

How we work

Six steps from enquiry to paid.

Every contract runs the same workflow — the system enforces it, so nothing slips through. You'll see the same chain in every customer portal.

  1. 1
    You request a quote.
    Either fill our form, call, or — for existing customers — raise a work order from your portal.
  2. 2
    We send a quotation PDF.
    Within 4 working hours. Locked rate, validity period, terms and conditions.
  3. 3
    You approve.
    PO upload or email confirmation; both update your project status.
  4. 4
    We dispatch.
    Driver, truck, route assigned. You see the GPS pin from the moment they leave for pickup.
  5. 5
    Driver delivers + uploads POD.
    Signed Challan photographed and uploaded from the driver app.
  6. 6
    We bill, you pay.
    Bill PDF emailed. Pay via bKash, internet banking, card, or bank transfer with proof.
Our principles

Three things we won't bend on.

No hidden fees

Every charge is in the Quotation T&C before you approve. If something we didn't quote shows up at billing time, it's our mistake — not your invoice.

Paperwork or it didn't happen

Every trip closes with a signed Challan uploaded from the driver app. No POD, no Bill. This is non-negotiable — it protects everyone.

Talk first, problem second

When something's about to go wrong — weather, blockade, breakdown — your dispatcher hears about it before you do. Surprises ruin contracts.
