History[edit]
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.[1]
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.[2] 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 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 [5] and other programs for warehouse bar code scanning and for attaching photographs.[6] 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.[7]
Acquisitions[edit]
In August 2020, Magaya announced the acquisition of ACELYNK, a provider of automation commercial environment (ACE-certified) automated broker interface (ABI) customs compliance software for the logistics industry.[8] The following month, in September 2020, Magaya announced that it acquired Catapult, a provider of freight rate management software for freight forwarders, NVOCCs, carriers, and others in the logistics industry.[9]

The company was selected as a Top 100 IT Solutions Provider in 2011 by Inbound Logistics magazine.[10]
