Catapult International

What Catapult International does

Catapult International, founded in 2007 and headquartered in Lenexa, USA, is the developer of a cloud-based rate management platform that was acquired by Magaya Corporation and rebranded as Magaya Rate Management. The product functions as a rate control tower for international shippers, enabling freight forwarders, NVOCCs, BCOs, ocean carriers, 3PLs, and customs brokers to centralize, search, and compare rates across air, ocean, rail, and road modes, generate multi-modal quotes, manage FMC tariff filings and NRA compliance, and track carrier allocation commitments. Its core technology stack is a cloud-hosted SaaS platform with an API-driven, system-agnostic connectivity layer (Magaya Open API) that enables standalone deployment or integration with TMS, ERP, WMS, and customs systems.

The underlying proprietary assets include a database of over 54,000 current surcharge values spanning 180+ surcharge types and 340+ FMC trade lanes, a built-in Digital Contract Exchange for direct carrier-forwarder rate data transfer, an NRA-compliant traffic-light FMC filing system, mobile quoting, and a Freight Allocation and Incentive Management module for ocean carrier volume incentives. The platform is delivered as a subscription-based SaaS product on annual billing, with no public pricing disclosed; go-to-market is sales-led, driven through demo bookings and direct enterprise sales. Catapult now operates as a product line within Magaya Corporation's broader Digital Freight Platform, alongside Magaya Supply Chain, Magaya WMS, Magaya Customs Compliance, and Magaya Digital Freight Portal, with multilingual support for English, Spanish, and French markets and disclosed operations in the USA, Mexico, and France.

Emerging players

• Freightos: Digital freight marketplace with live ocean and air rates, including a freight rate index. Comparable on rate visibility and digital quoting for forwarders and BCOs.
• Flexport: Digital-first freight forwarder with proprietary technology for quoting, booking, and tracking. Adjacent comparable given shared target customer (BCOs/forwarders) and tech-led operating model.
• Xeneta: Ocean and air freight rate benchmarking and intelligence platform. Emerging player that overlaps on rate data, benchmarking, and procurement insights for shippers and forwarders.

Direct peers

• Descartes Systems Group: Logistics technology vendor with rate management, filing, and freight forwarding solutions alongside a broad TMS/network portfolio. Comparable in serving forwarders/NVOCCs with rate and compliance tooling.
• WiseTech Global (CargoWise): Global TMS / freight forwarding platform used by large forwarders and NVOCCs; rate management and quoting are core modules. Closest direct comparable given overlapping freight-forwarder customer base and rate-centric workflows.
• Turvo: Cloud TMS for freight forwarders, brokers, and 3PLs offering quoting, rating, and shipment management. Comparable in modern, API-first architecture and focus on forwarder/3PL digital workflows.
• MercuryGate International: TMS provider for shippers, 3PLs, and forwarders with rate quoting, carrier selection, and multi-modal capabilities. Overlaps with Catapult's quoting and rate-comparison workflows for BCOs and forwarders.
