About ShipLogix

ShipLogix represents a suite of transportation management tools that originated as an independent, venture-backed company and is now integrated into Infor's enterprise software portfolio. Founded in 2000 and formerly headquartered in Seattle, the company secured $18 million in funding from investors like Goldman Sachs Asset Management and VantagePoint Capital Partners before its acquisition by Infor Global Solutions in September 2007. The firm's core business revolves around providing web-enabled transportation management solutions that connect shippers, carriers, logistics providers, and trading partners, enabling real-time collaboration.

The platform, now known as Infor Transportation Management SHIPLOGIX, functions as a logistics management system designed to streamline and automate supply chain operations for its clients. The software targets a range of customers, from mid-sized companies to large enterprises, including shipping agencies, freight forwarders, and NVOCCs (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers). Its business model centers on providing a comprehensive, on-premise software solution that helps businesses manage and optimize freight movements, thereby reducing operational costs and improving efficiency.

The software offers a multi-modal system capable of handling both ocean and air freight operations. Key functionalities include the ability to analyze customer orders to determine the most cost-effective shipping methods, automatically bundle outgoing shipments based on destination, and manage incoming supplier shipments to update inventory. It provides a unified platform for booking shipments, managing documentation, tracking cargo movements in real-time, and handling complex tariff structures. The system features a built-in document management system, reporting and analytics tools for performance insights, and integration capabilities with various third-party logistics platforms.
