What is
Magaya LiveTrack?
Magaya LiveTrack is an international cargo-tracking
software used over the Internet by exporters, importers, ocean carriers,
air carriers, and freight forwarders. Magaya LiveTrack
keeps the shippers and/or consignees informed of where the cargo is
at all times.

What is Magaya Network?
Subscription to the Magaya Network allows cargo companies using Magaya Cargo System to
transfer import/export documentation and
shipment information from system to system. For
example - a Freight Forwarder in New York prepares a consolidation and then sends
the entire consolidation to the Agent at destination who also has Magaya Cargo System. The Agent at
destination receives the information and then can
easily deconsolidate the cargo. Once the Cargo
has been delivered or released the Originating
Forwarder's system will automatically be updated
and the cargo status will be changed to
"Delivered".

software runs a very detailed validation procedure and shows you the fields
that did not pass the validation allowing you to fix the errors before sending

software is a fully integrated solution

customers in order for them to comply with the
24-hour manifest regulation implemented by US
Customs. Magaya AMS reduces the amount of time
submitting the cargo declaration to the AMS at
US Customs since you do not need to retype any
information you already have in you company
database. Once you are ready to send your
declaration, the Magaya AMS software
runs a very detailed validation procedure and
shows you the fields that did not pass the
validation allowing you to fix the errors before
sending the information to the AMS system at
Customs.

service center in order to transmit your data.

infrastructure necessary for a stable, secure
and bi-directional communication with the US
Customs.
