Magaya Corporation is a logistics software company founded in 2001 in Miami, Florida. Magaya Corporation's core business is logistics software development for the logistics industry. Offices are located in Miami, Florida.

## History

Magaya Corporation was founded in 2001 by Gabriel T. Ruz Jr., José Yoniel García, and Jesus David Rodriguez. Both Jesus David Rodriguez and Jose Yoniel Garcia received their engineering degrees from the Superior Institute of Technology (ISPJAE) in Havana, Cuba.

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. 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. 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. Use of the WMS program is referred to in an Industry Week article. In 2008 the company developed the Magaya Commerce System, software specifically for wholesalers, distributors, exporters and importers.

Magaya Corporation is a member of the Florida Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association.

Plug-ins for Magaya software add functions such as online tracking, scanning VIN barcodes, and communicating with ocean carriers via INTTRA Inc. INTTRA Inc. provides e-commerce solutions to the ocean freight industry. The software also connects to the U.S. Customs Automated Commercial System (ACE) for electronic filing of the required Electronic Export Information (EEI). Filing of import shipments can be done to comply with U.S. Customs regulations such as the Importer Security Filing requirement, also known as the 10 + 2 initiative. There are additional products for tracking inventory and shipping transactions on smart phones and other programs for warehouse bar code scanning and for attaching photographs. The software enables counting inventory in a warehouse. The types of counts are described in an article in the September 2015 Material Handling News website and print magazine.
