low cost of logistics, coupled with the
advancements in freight security,
safety, and transportation solutions;
and rapid growth in communication
technologies and IoT. However,
congested trade routes and crossborder
trade risks and environment
concerns related to transportation
and logistics may restrain the market
growth.
Penetrating freight industry
Cloud-based applications continue
to penetrate the supply chain
management software space, as
more operations are eager to
embrace the advantages, which it
maintains over traditional options.
In an email interview with Ahmad
Abdel-Yaman, Co-Founder and Chief
Technology Officer, LogitaaS, Air
Cargo Update discussed how its
freight management sof tware
empowers freight forwarders with its
cloud-based technology while
integrating with shipping lines and
airlines.
LogistaaS is the cloud
software solution for
medium and small-sized
freight forwarders looking
to improve their
competitiveness through
technology and streamline
their day-to-day processes.
It is user friendly,
developed using the most
advanced technologies, and
integrated with many
shipping lines and airlines.
“LogistaaS is a cloud software for
shipping and logistics companies.
We aim to provide our clients with a
software solution that fits all their
needs at a reasonable price.

“Our unique combination of

customers more value for their
money,” notes Ahmad.
Real time collaboration
LogitaaS uses resources, processes
and technology to create solutions
that deliver the right goods to the
right place at the right time—as
quickly and cost effectively as
possible. Managers looking for
technology to suppor t those
solutions may find that cloud
computing offers some compelling
options.
One of the oft-cited benefits
includes cost reduction, as it is a
significant factor in most supply
chain managers' decision to move to
the cloud.
Outsourcing the maintenance and
m a n a g e m e n t o f t h e i r I T
infrastructure and workloads to offpremises
data centers provides levels
of compliance and high availability
that could be costly to implement in
their own environment.
Cloud hosting providers also tend
to offer support from skilled teams
that specialize in keeping IT
infrastructure and systems running.
Depending on your needs, cloud
hosting can help you keep costs
down by decreasing your IT spends.
“LogistaaS is built with the latest
technologies and is designed to be

simple to use, fast, and efficient. This
translates into time and cost savings
for our clients”.

enhancing connections that are easy

Collaboration with cloud computing
is the same as instant messaging.
However, it provides complete,
specific tasks that take just hours
instead of months to accomplish.
“LogistaaS gives clients many
connectivity options, and with those,
offers instant updates for any data
sent to or received from external
sources. Examples of this include
instant transmission of financial data
to accounting systems, instant
updates on bookings and eAWBs, as
well as any changes to internal data
the user might be interested in,”
Ahmad stressed.
Economies of scale
For small and medium-sized
enterprises (SMEs), LogitaaS has
many advantages - mainly economic
ones. As the data and applications
are hosted remotely, it does away
with the cost and burden of hardware
and software acquisition, and
maintenance.
Essentially, LogitaaS offers many
key advantages for SMEs including
