Did you know that the word “Magaya” belongs to the language of the Yanomami tribe from Northern Brazil and Southern Venezuela? And that it refers to the net used to hold cargo when they are on the move? Neither did I? It is also the name of a freight management platform, headquartered in Miami, that has been around since 2001 – having begun life in an appartement (rather than the usual garage), and meanwhile well established among freight forwarders. It includes functionalities for freight forwarding, warehouse management, eCommerce, exporters, and other logistics professionals. And – since last week – has expanded even further, having partnered with CargoAi to significantly enhance air cargo booking processes for Magaya Supply Chain users. Thanks to CargoAi’s Quote & Book API, Magaya customers can now instantly search, compare, and book airfreight with more than 105 airlines, all without leaving their familiar Magaya workspace. This seamless integration means no more juggling between systems or re-entering shipment details, making workflows quicker and error-free.
With this move, Magaya users get real-time access to airline capacity, over 680 schedules, and an incredible 2.5 million live rates. Fully integrated, the booking and tracking process allows for updates even after bookings are approved. Plus, IATA/CASS support streamlines payments and booking, while shipment statuses and events are visible directly in Magaya, giving users complete control and visibility. Overall, a far swifter, better quality process.
Matt Petot, CEO of CargoAi, explained: “The integration of our Quote & Book API directly within Magaya Supply Chain marks a new milestone in the digital transformation of logistics. We are thrilled to bring real-time booking, visibility, and automation to Magaya users, enhancing their ability to serve their customers efficiently.”
Gary Nemmers, CEO at Magaya, stated: “At Magaya, we’re laser-focused on helping our customers work smarter, faster, and with less friction. By integrating with CargoAi, we’re enabling seamless access to global airfreight capacity, directly within the Magaya Supply Chain platform, so every booking becomes an opportunity to move with even greater precision and speed.”
