What Kale Logistics Solutions does

Kale Logistics Solutions (legal entity: Kale Info Solutions) is a cloud-based SaaS provider of cargo community systems and enterprise automation software for the global logistics industry. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Thane, India, the company operates a platform-plus-modules architecture anchored by two UN award-winning products: the Airport Cargo Community System (ACS) and the Port Community System (PCS). These platforms function as neutral digital hubs connecting airlines, ground handlers, freight forwarders, customs brokers, port authorities, and terminal operators, enabling paperless trade and real-time data exchange across air, maritime, and freight logistics operations in more than 40 countries.

The company layers enterprise automation modules onto the community platform foundation, including GALAXY (Cargo Ground Handling System), CORVI (Freight Forwarding System), CANOPUS (Customs Clearance System), and the Logistics and Customs Control Tower (LCCT). The portfolio was expanded through the acquisition of CODEX (India's first digital container exchange, deployed at Tuticorin Port) and the February 2026 acquisition of AVLOG Systems, which contributed the AvSys cross-border e-commerce parcel visibility platform. Recent product enhancements integrate AI capabilities including OCR-based document validation, intelligent truck scheduling, chatbots, anomaly detection, and predictive analytics, with reported productivity improvements of 20–40% at customer sites.

Kale operates a subscription-based SaaS revenue model with annual billing, selling directly to airports, ports, customs authorities, and logistics operators via enterprise field sales supplemented by event-driven demand generation. As of 2025, the company reports 387 employees serving more than 500 clients across 152 airports and 60 ports, supported by regional offices in Thane/Mumbai (India) and Atlanta, Georgia (USA). Kale is venture-backed, having raised a $5 million Series A in June 2021 and a $30 million Series B in late 2025, with the latest round dedicated to infrastructure expansion, AI integration, and acquisitions in e-commerce and regulatory technology.

Supplementary modules include the Multimodal Cargo Community Platform, Digital Trade Corridor, Logistics e Marketplace (LEMP), and e-Service for digital documentation.
