Let’s begin:


Customs Compliance - India and USA


Expect hassle-free Custom Broking Operational control here. Logi-Sys facilitates regulatory compliance that includes customs shipment registration and submission of compliant customs entry documentation. All your necessary documents required for import and export procedures are available to forwarders in electronic format, ensuring that your cargo is custom-compliant while eliminating troubles like heavy paperwork.


More details on how Logi-Sys streamlines customs processes:

  • Document preparation and electronic data submission of documents

  • Calculation on payable taxes and duties

  • Updates on the latest regulatory changes

  • Receival of Daily Status Reports (DSR)

  • Job Approval System, Job Tracking Alerts & Notifications, Job CostSheet, and automation of Job Expenses among other related operational activities to plug revenue leakage

  • Integrable with local customs compliance systems of other countries for documentary requirements

Customs regulations and compliance regarding the USA include:

  • Plug-in Automated Export System (AES)

  • AMS: US Ocean Manifest

  • ISF: 10 + 2 Security filings for US-bound ocean shipment

  • Denied Party Screening

  • Known Shipper Functionality

You can read about all of the above in detail on the Customs Compliance page.


Transportation Management


Built for local transportation handling, freight forwarders can use the Transport Management module within Logi-Sys to either offer as part of their integrated services or as a separate business function. The Transport Management module can be used by freight forwarders to

  • Plan pickups, trips, and routes

  • Track truck-to-base in real-time via e-communication and mobile communication

  • Undertake automated financial management. All costs and revenue are recorded automatically within the system

  • Undertake vehicle inventory and fleet management

  • Allocate drivers, trailers and vehicles for every container leg with on-the-road job transmission

  • Issue Proof of Delivery

and more

Warehouse Management


Quite like the Transportation Management system, this module allows freight forwarders to operate it as a separate service or as an integration with other Logi-Sys modules. Integration does provide benefits as it captures all warehouse-related revenue information automatically within the integrated Billing and Financial Accounting modules.


With Logi-Sys’ Warehouse Management, freight forwarders can:

  • Handle both single and multi-warehouse activities

  • Execute efficient shipping, receiving, stocking, picking, space management and throughput

  • Avail Barcode & QR Scan Code for optimal stock management, in addition to conducting inventory forecasts

  • Receive alerts on exceptions. A Customer Visibility portal for customers to track necessary information such as inventory records is available

  • Manage advanced ship notice, ASN, Goods Receipts, GR, Inventory Management to Invoicing and .csv uploads

  • Receive assistance w.r.t Bay Allocation and Internal transfer Tracking

and more. In a nutshell, this WMS will help you streamline your warehouse management processes, right from product order to shipment/dispatch
