End-to-end supply chain orchestration: from freight procurement and booking through to financial compliance and customs validation across global trade networks.

Project Summary

AGAI TMS is an end-to-end Transport Management System built for businesses engaged in international buying and selling. The platform optimises the entire supply chain lifecycle: from freight procurement and carrier rate management, through booking and shipment execution, to financial transaction validation and customs compliance.

Designed around a vendor-managed data model, AGAI TMS enables carriers, forwarders, and customs brokers to update shipment data directly into the platform, while the client organisation retains full operational control, visibility, and decision-making authority.

The system provides real-time dashboards, configurable reporting, and audit-grade traceability across every transaction, with enterprise-level data security built into its architecture.

Six Integrated Modules. One Unified Platform.

Each module is purpose-built for international supply chains, designed so your vendors update the data while you retain full operational control.

📋

Freight RFQ and Rate Management

Issue structured RFQs to carriers and forwarders. Compare rates across modes (ocean, air, road, rail), lanes, and service levels. Lock in contracted rates with automated validity tracking and renewal alerts.

📦

Booking and Shipment Execution

Convert accepted quotes into bookings with a single action. Track shipment milestones from collection through to final delivery. Carriers and forwarders update statuses directly, eliminating manual chasing and email chains.

💰

Costing and Financial Control

Capture landed cost at shipment level: freight, insurance, duties, handling, and ancillary charges. Compare actual costs against budgeted rates. Feed validated cost data directly into your ERP or accounting system.

Transaction Flow Validation

Validate cross-border VAT treatment, chain transaction rules (Art. 36a), intra-community supply logic, and import VAT obligations. Identify the importer of record, determine customs liability, and flag non-compliant flows before they execute.

🛃

Customs and Trade Compliance

Manage HS classification, Rules of Origin (CTH, RVC), FTA utilisation, and preferential duty calculations across jurisdictions. Maintain product-level compliance profiles and generate audit-ready documentation for every shipment.

📊

Dashboards and Reporting

Operational dashboards for shipment status, spend analysis, carrier performance, compliance exceptions, and financial reconciliation. Configurable reports with drill-down capability, designed for logistics, finance, and executive stakeholders.

Vendor-Managed Data. Your Control.

AGAI TMS inverts the traditional model. Your supply chain partners maintain their own data; you focus on decisions, not data entry.

1

Configure

Set up trade lanes, product profiles, vendor access, and compliance rules. Define your approval workflows and cost structures.

2

Invite Vendors

Carriers, forwarders, and customs brokers receive controlled access. They submit rates, update shipment milestones, and upload documentation directly.

3

Validate and Execute

The platform validates every transaction, checking VAT flows, customs classification, cost approvals, and compliance flags in real time before execution.

4

Report and Optimise

Dashboards surface exceptions and opportunities. Identify cost leakage, compliance gaps, and carrier performance trends to continuously refine your supply chain.

What Xgility Brings to AGAI TMS

Xgility provides the technical backbone that transforms AGAI's deep supply chain and financial compliance expertise into a scalable, secure, and production-grade software platform.

  • Scalable System Architecture

    Xgility designed and built the platform's modular, cloud-native architecture, ensuring each module (RFQ, Booking, Costing, Compliance) operates independently yet integrates seamlessly. The architecture supports multi-tenant deployment, horizontal scaling, and cross-platform interoperability with ERP and accounting systems.

  • 🔒

    Cybersecurity and Data Protection

    Drawing on its specialist cybersecurity expertise, Xgility embedded security into every layer of the platform: role-based access control, AES-256 encryption, tenant data isolation, and full audit logging. The architecture is designed in alignment with SOC 2 Type II and GDPR, with data residency options for EU and UK deployments.

  • 💻

    Full-Stack Software Development

    Xgility's engineering team delivered the end-to-end development of the TMS: front-end interfaces for internal users and vendor portals, back-end services for transaction validation and compliance logic, API layers for carrier and forwarder integration, and the real-time dashboard and reporting engine.

  • DevOps and Continuous Delivery

    Xgility established the DevOps pipeline for AGAI TMS, enabling automated testing, continuous integration, and zero-downtime deployments. This ensures rapid iteration, reliable releases, and the ability to scale feature delivery as the platform grows.

  • 🤖

    AI and Intelligent Automation

    Leveraging its expertise in virtual agents and LLMs, Xgility integrated intelligent automation into the platform: automated compliance flag detection, anomaly identification in cost submissions, and smart alerting across dashboards to reduce manual oversight and accelerate decision-making.

Enterprise-Grade Security. Zero Compromise.

Built from the ground up with data isolation, role-based access, and audit-grade traceability across every transaction.

  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

    Granular permissions per user, vendor, and module. Internal teams and external partners see only what they need; nothing more.

  • Data Encryption at Rest and in Transit

    AES-256 encryption for stored data. TLS 1.3 for all data in transit between clients, vendors, and the platform.

  • Full Audit Trail

    Every action is logged: rate submissions, booking amendments, compliance overrides, all recorded with timestamps, user identity, and change detail.

  • Tenant Data Isolation

    Multi-tenant architecture with strict logical data segregation. Your data never commingles with other clients. Vendor data is sandboxed per relationship.

  • SOC 2 and GDPR Aligned

    Platform architecture designed in alignment with SOC 2 Type II and GDPR requirements. Data residency options available for EU and UK clients.
