A Magaya alternative
with Synthetic Intelligence built in.
PulseCargo™ is a customer portal and intelligence layer for freight forwarders. Per-tenant SQL Server database isolation, embedded Power BI dashboards, conversational Q&A, anomaly detection, and 15-language native support — priced per company.
If you are evaluating Magaya LiveTrack or the Magaya Customer Portal: PulseCargo is a Synthetic Intelligence customer portal positioned for forwarders who want anomaly detection, charge audit, and conversational Q&A built into the portal — not bolted on. PulseCargo is currently CargoWise-integrated via eAdaptor and SQL CDC, with Magaya integration on the roadmap. Forwarders running Magaya today should plan for a phased adoption tied to roadmap delivery.
Five things to weigh in the evaluation.
Synthetic Intelligence as the core, not an add-on.
Eight modules engineered specifically for freight data structures: Pulse Chat, Pulse Trace, Pulse Watch, Pulse Audit, Pulse Score, Pulse Dox, Pulse IQ, and Pulse Flows. PulseCargo’s intelligence layer is the product — not a bolt-on chatbot.
Per-tenant SQL Server database isolation.
Each PulseCargo tenant gets a dedicated SQL Server database. Combined with EF Core query filters, Azure SQL Row-Level Security, and per-tenant Azure Blob storage, the architecture enforces tenant isolation at three layers. Audit logs record every action. Aligned with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls. This is a structural decision, not a configuration switch.
Per-company pricing, predictable as you scale.
Five per-company tiers from Starter Lite to Enterprise+, with unlimited internal users and unlimited customer logins at every tier. Per-company means a forwarder adding 50 customer logins or hiring 10 new ops staff sees no change to the bill. Pricing scales with your size of company, not your activity.
White-label that disappears the vendor.
Per-tenant logo, colors, favicon, custom domain, custom email sender, configurable terminology, and per-tenant tagline. No "Powered by PulseCargo" footer in the customer’s view. The customer thinks the forwarder built it.
15 languages, native, out of the box.
English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, German, Turkish, Corsican, Hindi. Synthetic Intelligence chat responds in each user’s language. Notifications, exports, system labels, and milestone codes are all localized. A US shipper with suppliers in Turkey, China, Vietnam, and India can have every party transacting on the same portal in the language that works for them.

Questions forwarders ask.
What is the best Magaya alternative for freight forwarders?
PulseCargo is a strong alternative for forwarders evaluating Magaya LiveTrack or the Magaya Customer Portal — particularly when the requirement includes Synthetic Intelligence (anomaly detection, charge audit, conversational Q&A), per-tenant SQL Server database isolation, embedded Power BI dashboards, and 15-language native support. PulseCargo is currently CargoWise-integrated via eAdaptor and SQL CDC, with Magaya, Descartes, and GoFreight integrations on the roadmap.
How is PulseCargo priced compared to Magaya?
PulseCargo is per-company, five per-company tiers from Starter Lite to Enterprise+ with unlimited internal users and unlimited customer logins on every tier. Magaya pricing varies by product (Magaya Supply Chain, LiveTrack, Customer Portal) and by user/module configuration; current published Magaya pricing should be requested from Magaya directly for a side-by-side comparison.
Does PulseCargo integrate with Magaya?
Magaya integration is on the PulseCargo roadmap. PulseCargo is currently live on CargoWise via eAdaptor and SQL CDC; Descartes and GoFreight are also on the roadmap. Forwarders running both Magaya and CargoWise (multi-TMS environments) are a use case PulseCargo plans to support via the universal XML ingest endpoint and a planned Magaya connector.
What Synthetic Intelligence does PulseCargo add that Magaya does not?
Eight modules engineered specifically for freight: Pulse Chat (conversational Q&A), Pulse Trace (natural-language shipment narrative across linked entities), Pulse Watch (container exceptions, late gate-in, per-diem risk), Pulse Audit, Pulse Score, Pulse Dox, Pulse IQ (per-shipment timeline), and Pulse Flows (workflow builder). The intelligence layer is core to PulseCargo, not an add-on.
Is PulseCargo white-labeled?
Yes — fully. Per-tenant logo, colors, favicon, custom domain, custom email sender, configurable terminology, and per-tenant tagline. There is no "Powered by PulseCargo" footer. Customers see the forwarder’s brand, not PulseCargo.
How does PulseCargo handle tenant isolation?
Three-layer enforcement: per-tenant SQL Server database, EF Core query filters plus Azure SQL Row-Level Security, and per-tenant Azure Blob storage. Audit logs record every action. The architecture is aligned with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls. This is a structural choice in PulseCargo, not a configuration option.
Does PulseCargo support multiple languages?
Yes. PulseCargo ships in 15 languages natively: English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, German, Turkish, Corsican, and Hindi. Synthetic Intelligence chat responds in each user’s language. Notifications, exports, system labels, and milestone codes are all localized.
