Is your legacy freight forwarding system holding you back?
Doing business by phone and e-mail, relying on complicated spreadsheets and jumping between endless browser tabs, just doesn’t cut it anymore.
The truth is, legacy logistics software systems are lacking in the modern automation and integration features that freight forwarders need. Without the right functionality, it’s simply impossible to up their customer experience while still keeping the bottom line in check.
As a freight forwarder, you know how many systems you need to connect with to get a shipment to its destination. From customs agencies to various agents, disparate data sources often require duplicate manual data entry that slows everything down and kills your productivity. What’s more, maintaining an obsolete or homegrown freight management system is a waste of precious resources that does nothing to advance your business.
Modernize your business with the features you need to grow and achieve your goals. Magaya Supply Chain, the Magaya Digital Freight Portal, Magaya Rate Management, Magaya Customs Compliance, Magaya CRM, and the collection of Magaya extensions will give you everything you need to delight your customers and prepare for a bright road ahead.

Smart Warehouse Solutions Built for Freight Forwarders
Not all warehouses are alike… so why would you use software intended for retail or wholesale in your freight forwarding warehouse? You’re focused on moving parcels, quickly and efficiently, so you need a WMS that speaks your language and works perfectly with your freight forwarding software. That’s why Magaya built a complete, advanced warehouse management system right into our core Magaya Supply Chain software.
You can also optimize your freight forwarding warehouse with the latest in mobile and automation technology, from mobile WMS on your Android or iOS device with Flow WMS by Magaya to instant package and parcel dimensioning with the Dimensioner by Magaya. Together, they’re the ultimate duo for efficient, high-volume small parcel handling: your operators can even get accurate package dimensions without ever disembarking from the forklift!
Take Your Business Further With Extensions and Integrations

The Magaya Digital Freight Platform is built with extensibility in mind: from its ecosystem of extensions to its open API enabling you to connect to just about any third party, we’ve got you covered with a flexible platform that will bring all your various touchpoints together.
