Online Applications
Transforming Logistics Processes through Data-Driven Transparency

The logistics industry is undergoing a significant shift in technology adoption to empower enterprises in coping with the skyrocketing consumer demand. However, many logistics firms are hindered from achieving maximum efficiencies due to their reliance on legacy IT systems. This, combined with the need to onboard new partners at a breakneck pace, produce products rapidly, and maintain timely delivery, is driving businesses worldwide to seek a partner that can link their enterprise’s logistical and e-commerce facets.

Online Applications focuses on reliably connecting businesses to end-consumers with its first and last-mile solutions. Its portfolio is powered by a hub and APIs connected to e-commerce giants like Amazon and Shopee, which allow clients to rapidly achieve robust results. These competencies are backed by Online Applications’ seasoned team that leverages comprehensive expertise and industry know-how to position it as one of the most innovative companies in the global logistics market.

“The marketplace in Brazil has a very complex ecosystem, not only regarding transportation and moving goods but concerning tax intelligence. We recognize this and use our industry experience to offer highly specialized tax, logistics, and big data solutions through our portfolio,” says Gonzalo Ferreyra, CRO of Online Applications.

Its solutions showcase unrivaled scalability, helping businesses resolve logistics challenges across hundreds of customers and partners. Through its flagship Smart Online platform, it digitizes tax processes, generates strategic data, and optimizes the buying and selling process. Since its launch, the Smart Online platform has helped 1.4 million companies with more than 56 million documents and processed 17 million tax combinations in transforming their transactional information into business intelligence.

Simultaneously, Online Applications provides its Cargo Online platform, which integrates various business facets to offer a unified view of their operations and strengthen logistics processes. The platform works in unison with an organization’s existing data sets, retaining customer loyalty, reducing costs, allowing ease of integration, and streamlining freight hiring to ensure better market performance. Cargo Online also allows companies to securely integrate with the systems across service providers, treasury departments, federal revenue, and other public bodies. Consolidating all freight management tasks on a single platform, Online Applications automates the hiring, requesting, and freight approval processes, executing them in markedly reduced times and generating more value for businesses.

Online Applications emphasizes the design and development of solutions that precisely align with the profile and needs of each business, consistently providing tools that enable high performance, assertiveness, and, above all, a competitive edge. Through these competencies, Online Applications assisted logistics leader DHL in solving an issue related to the recent change in Brazilian tax laws. The regulatory amendment was causing numerous DHL cargo trucks to be stopped at customs tax stations for long periods, which caused a delay in shipments. Through Cargo Online, Online Applications created integrations with DHL’s existing tech stack, gathering invoices and validating them with the Brazilian government’s new tax laws and preferred financial system to automate tax payment processes. After the solution went live, DHL could pay all relevant taxes before their trucks left the cargo terminal, minimize prolonged stoppages, and meet schedules.

Driven by an ethos of ‘acting local and thinking global,’ Online Applications is currently working for a top North American client, with a team of 25 specialists continually striving to deliver their desired performance and compliance outcomes. Moving forward, Online Applications hopes to establish itself as the go-to resource for SMBs looking to take advantage of the emerging opportunities in the digitalizing logistics industry.
