History
Magaya Corporation was founded in 2001 by Jesus David Rodriguez, Gabriel T. Ruz, José Yoniel García, and William Sierra, according to company president Jesus David Rodriguez.
The first software product was originally called the Magaya Cargo System Pro until version 6.0 when it was changed to the Magaya Cargo System.[1] Users of the software include freight forwarders, NVOCCs (non-vessel owning common carriers), consolidators, warehouse providers, cargo airlines, import and export companies, distributors, and other logistics providers.[2] As a growing business in the Doral area of Miami, the Miami Herald featured Magaya Corporation in its “Neighbors” section on September 1, 2005.
In 2007, two additional software programs were released, Magaya WMS, a warehouse management system, and the Magaya Supply Chain Solution. In 2008 the company developed the Magaya Commerce System, software specifically for wholesalers, distributors, exporters and importers.[3]
Magaya Corporation is a member of the Florida Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association.[4]
Plug-ins for Magaya software add functions such as online tracking, scanning VIN barcodes, and communicating with ocean carriers via INTTRA. INTTRA provides e-commerce solutions to the ocean freight industry. The software also connects to the US Customs Automated Export System (AES) for electronic filing of the required Electronic Export Information (EEI).
