Should you invest in a web-based freight management system?

MUMBAI, India - July 24, 2025 - PRLog -- In about three months, you'd only be half the distance closer to the moon, if you hypothetically drive at 95 mph from the earth. But if you don't begin today, you'd still be where you are.

Preparation with the right tools is the key to making leaps in the competition. Web-based freight management software is designed to provide you with just the platform you need.

About investing in freight management software, one question that puzzles many forwarders is — When is the right time to do so?

Economic slowdowns and natural disasters may not appear as an ideal time for investment in technology. But the forwarders that invested in technology earlier have been able to handle flying asteroids like slow economies efficiently. Want to have a competitive edge tomorrow, the right time to invest in a web-based freight management system is today.

Waiting for the "normal" to begin

As the pandemic struck, freight forwarders had to scramble to just run operations. Remote working with desktop-based freight software became nearly impossible. Forwarders waiting for the storm to pass and delaying making concrete moves found themselves with stagnant sales and revenue. While businesses with web-based freight software could even run operations remotely and yet achieve good numbers.

There is less likelihood of the freight businesses completely reverting to pre-Covid ways of working. For instance, after customs and regulatory compliances began adopting the organized digital processes, it would be unwise to see them revert to the slower paper-based system. So expecting to invest once things got back to the pre-Covid period may be a never-ending wait.

Win more customers by providing accurate information

In all the chaos of the pandemic, customer demand never dried up. With continued demand for shipping of goods, forwarders remained in action even in the most adverse conditions. Even in this challenging phase, customers asked for more visibility of their shipments. Self-service portals for customers were the answer to providing up-to-the-minute details with convenience. Freight management software like Logi-Sys goes beyond customer portals by providing a mobile app for stakeholders. Honest, timely and accurate updates to your customers on their orders are likely to make them cooperative even if there is a genuine delay.

The Way Forward

In today's unpredictable global trade environment, success won't come from patching old systems. It will come from building a digital foundation that supports growth, resilience, and compliance. With Logi-Sys, forwarders can stop managing chaos — and start scaling with confidence.
