ShipLilly has selected Magaya CRM to improve its customer management processes while fostering effective collaboration and communication across teams.

ShipLilly Selects Magaya CRM to Optimize Customer Relationship Management

Miami, FL – July 18, 2022 – Magaya Corporation, the leading provider of end-to-end logistics and supply chain software, today announced that ShipLilly has selected Magaya CRM to improve its customer management processes while fostering effective collaboration and communication across teams.

A loyal Magaya customer since 2018 and one of South Florida Business Journal’s Top 100 private companies in South Florida, ShipLilly is an international logistics service provider headquartered in Florida with offices in Mexico, Venezuela, Panama, China, and, most recently, a new location in Colombia. With more than 25 years of experience, the company specializes in international transportation solutions including freight forwarding, customs clearance, warehousing and distribution, e-commerce fulfillment, and foreign trade zone operations. ShipLilly also operates three company-owned vessels, giving the company a unique competitive edge. Yet another distinctive offering is its foreign-to-foreign shipping services directly from a company’s foreign supplier or manufacturer directly to the end customer in another country, eliminating CBP holds and fees and dramatically reducing shipping costs.


Magaya CRM is the latest addition to the company’s portfolio of Magaya cloud-based solutions, supporting the personal service and attention to detail that have contributed to ShipLilly’s two decades of success. With Magaya CRM, ShipLilly can manage leads, contacts, and accounts across complex multi-region operations – all in a single solution alongside related quotes, customer interactions, and more. Integrated with Magaya Supply Chain, Magaya CRM provides centralized visibility and control unique on the market that will better equip the company’s sales team to be more efficient and sell more while providing management with greater oversight across the sales team’s efforts.

“One thing we love about Magaya is that we can scale the platform according to our changing needs,” Marketing Financial Data Specialist at ShipLilly, Victor Nunez, commented. “We were excited to learn that they released a CRM solution specifically designed for logistics service providers like us. We’ve been using another commercial CRM system, but it missed the mark in terms of providing the specific features we need for efficient management of our customer lifecycle and pipeline. Plus, the fact that it works perfectly with Magaya Supply Chain will save us a lot of time and eliminate some of the duplicate data entry we were previously doing.”

Designed to address the unique customer and sales process management needs of freight forwarders and logistics service providers, notable features of Magaya CRM include:
- KPI reporting and built-in dashboards
- Customer, pipeline, and opportunity management
- Quote history - plus many more
- Additionally, quotes and accounts created in Magaya Supply Chain are synchronized with the CRM, so all teams are working with the same, up-to-date information

“We’re so pleased that ShipLilly has decided to extend its existing Magaya solution set with the addition of Magaya CRM,” commented Magaya Chief Revenue Officer, Mark Buman. “I know firsthand how important it is to have the right supporting technology enabling a large team managing customers across multiple continents. I’m excited to see Magaya CRM play a role in supporting ShipLilly’s continued growth and success.”

KUKA to Showcase Cobots for Medical Applications at AAOS Meeting

SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich., Jan. 28, 2025 – Targeting the reduction of work-related injury for healthcare workers and shortening time-to-market for medical device OEMs, KUKA Robotics will bring two advanced medical innovations featuring cobot automation to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) annual meeting in booth #540. The event takes place in San Diego, California, March 10-14, and attendees will see how KUKA’s LBR iisy cobot solution helps reduce the incidence of arm and shoulder injury to ultrasound technicians and sonographers. A second cobot demonstration will feature a KUKA Robot Development Kit using a LBR MED 14 R820 cobot that helps slash development time for unique medical device solutions.

Because of the repetitive nature of their work, sonographers and ultrasound technicians commonly experience musculoskeletal disorders such as tendonitis and rotator cuff injury from their work that requires them to apply pressure with abnormal arm and shoulder positioning. Using robot technology such as KUKA’s LBR iisy cobot, however, can take the strain off these technicians by precisely conducting these repetitive exams autonomously. Equipped with a Haply Inverse3 Hapatic Feedback Teleop Device and an OptoForce FT Sensor, the LBR iisy robotic arm can be controlled and manipulated to apply the proper amount of force to the imaging head for a proper reading.
