Logiware

What Logiware does

Logiware Inc. is a privately held SaaS company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, that builds a unified Transportation Management System (TMS) and Warehouse Management System (WMS) platform for freight forwarders and third-party logistics (3PL) warehouse operators. The platform runs on a cloud-native microservices architecture (React/TypeScript frontend, Node.js/Express/GraphQL API gateway, MongoDB/Redis/Elasticsearch data layer, deployed on AWS with Docker/Kubernetes) and is differentiated by the depth of its direct integrations: 40+ ocean carriers, 16 airline cargo APIs, 46 ocean terminals across 25 ports, and customs authorities in 7+ jurisdictions (US, EU, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, India, China), with ERP connectors to SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, QuickBooks, and Xero. The product suite comprises Logiware TMS (ocean, air, and ground freight forwarding), Logiware WMS (CFS, bonded, and General Order warehouse operations with native CBP filings), and sub-products including a Document Engine, Communications Hub, Automation & AI Workflow Builder, MCP Server for AI assistants, and a tenant-scoped Data Warehouse.

The company monetizes through seat-based annual SaaS subscriptions — explicitly positioned as transparent, predictable pricing without per-transaction charges or hidden professional services fees. Its go-to-market is direct sales (enterprise field sales plus inside sales via [email protected]), targeting mid-market to enterprise freight forwarders and 3PL operators globally, with self-serve Calendly demo booking and a competitive-comparison content strategy aimed at incumbents Cargowise, Magaya, GoFreight, and Riege Scope. The customer base of ~12 named logos spans enterprise freight forwarders (MSL, Craft, Vector, Transworld Shipping, Transborder Colombia, Coda, Accem, Troy Container Line) and mid-market operators (Shipit Logistics, USA Cargo Services, HWC Logistics, Empire CFS) across 30+ countries. Logiware appears bootstrapped or founder-owned with no disclosed institutional funding, parent company, or subsidiaries.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• project44: project44 is a supply chain visibility platform with growing TMS-adjacent execution capabilities, connecting shippers, 3PLs, and carriers across modes. It overlaps with Logiware's real-time visibility and carrier integration layer and increasingly competes for mid-market 3PL automation budgets as it expands from visibility into workflow automation.

Broad incumbents

• Oracle Transportation Management: Oracle TMS is an enterprise multi-modal transportation management suite part of the broader Oracle SCM cloud, integrated with Oracle ERP. It competes for the largest Tier-1 shipper and 3PL enterprise accounts where Logiware's mid-market focus generally leaves it out of RFPs.
• Blue Yonder (formerly JDA): Blue Yonder offers an enterprise TMS and broader supply chain platform serving shippers, 3PLs, and forwarders with comparable multi-modal execution, transportation planning, and integration capabilities. It targets Tier-1 enterprise accounts rather than the mid-market forwarder niche Logiware focuses on.
• Descartes Systems Group: Descartes is a large established logistics technology vendor with a TMS, customs filing, and global trade compliance portfolio serving the same freight forwarder and shipper customer base. It overlaps at the customs and multi-modal execution layers but offers a much broader suite (including visibility, routing, and trade compliance) rather than a focused TMS+WMS product.

Direct peers

• Riege Software: Riege Scope is a European freight forwarding TMS and customs platform serving global forwarders, with comparable customs, EDI, and multi-office capabilities. Directly named on Logiware's comparison pages; both target mid-to-large European-headquartered forwarders competing against CargoWise in EU.
• MercuryGate International: MercuryGate provides a multi-modal TMS for shippers, 3PLs, and carriers covering ocean, air, truckload, LTL, and parcel with comparable EDI and API integration depth. It serves overlapping mid-market and enterprise 3PL/forwarder customers with a similar multi-modal execution + visibility value proposition.
• GoFreight: GoFreight is a cloud-native freight forwarder TMS targeting the same mid-market forwarder segment as Logiware, with ocean, air, and ground freight execution modules. Listed on Logiware's competitive comparison page as a direct alternative, often positioned on modern UX and faster onboarding for smaller forwarders.
• Magaya Software: Magaya is a freight forwarding and 3PL WMS/CFS platform with comparable ocean, air, and ground freight execution plus warehouse billing capabilities. Directly named on Logiware's comparison pages as an alternative, serving the same mid-market forwarder and CFS operator segments with similar transaction-based pricing legacy.
• CargoWise (WiseTech Global): CargoWise is the dominant global freight forwarder TMS, serving the same multi-office forwarder and NVOCC customer base Logiware targets — ocean, air, and ground execution with customs filings and EDI integrations to the same major carriers. It is explicitly named on Logiware's competitive comparison pages as the primary incumbent alternative.
• Turvo: Turvo offers a unified TMS for 3PLs and freight brokers with collaborative workflows, document automation, and shipper-carrier connectivity, overlapping directly with Logiware's TMS + 3PL WMS positioning. Both target technology-forward mid-market 3PLs and forwarders seeking modern SaaS alternatives to legacy on-prem suites.
