IT for Logistics & Freight Forwarding
The Houston logistics industry runs on tight margins, demanding customers, and infrastructure that must never stop moving. Port of Houston cargo flows, Bush Intercontinental air freight, cross-border trucking to Mexico, and Ship Channel terminal operations all depend on TMS, WMS, EDI, and warehouse networks that work every hour of every day. LayerLogix delivers managed IT, cybersecurity, and 24/7 operations support built for the unique demands of Houston freight forwarders, customs brokers, 3PLs, and asset-based carriers.
What We Offer
Comprehensive solutions tailored for Houston-area businesses
TMS & WMS Platform Support
Expert support for transportation and warehouse management systems — McLeod, MercuryGate, CargoWise, Descartes, Manhattan, SAP TM, BluJay, and custom-built platforms. We handle hosting, upgrades, integration, and the break/fix issues that slow down dispatch and warehouse operations.
EDI & API Integration
Shippers, customers, customs brokers, and carriers exchange massive volumes of electronic data — EDI 204, 210, 214, 990, 997, and modern REST APIs. We build and maintain the integration infrastructure that keeps data flowing reliably between your partners, with monitoring that catches failed transactions before your customers do.
C-TPAT & Supply Chain Security
C-TPAT validation requires documented IT security controls covering access management, data protection, incident response, and partner vetting. We implement the technical controls and documentation CBP looks for during C-TPAT validations and revalidations.
Cold Chain & Temperature Monitoring IT
Refrigerated and frozen shipments require continuous temperature monitoring with reliable data capture and alerting. We support IoT temperature sensors, reefer monitoring platforms, and the alerting infrastructure that protects perishable cargo for Houston's food, pharma, and chemical shippers.
24/7 Operations Support
Freight doesn't stop at 5pm. Containers move through the Port of Houston around the clock, dispatchers work every shift, and a down WMS during a peak outbound window can back up trucks for hours. We provide 24/7 priority response to keep operations running.
Warehouse & Dock Network Infrastructure
Industrial Wi-Fi, barcode scanners, label printers, RF guns, and dock-door automation all depend on rock-solid network infrastructure. We design warehouse networks built for concrete and steel environments where consumer-grade equipment simply doesn't work.
Why Choose LayerLogix?
Serving businesses throughout the Greater Houston area including Houston, The Woodlands, Spring, Katy, Sugar Land, Conroe, Pearland, Dallas, Austin.
Keep Freight Moving
An outage in your TMS, WMS, or EDI pipeline directly stops trucks, backs up dock doors, and delays customer shipments. Our monitoring and 24/7 response keep those systems healthy so your freight keeps moving through the Port of Houston and beyond.
Satisfy Customer Audits
Enterprise shippers — especially in food, pharma, retail, and energy — increasingly audit their 3PLs, freight forwarders, and customs brokers on cybersecurity and data protection. We help you pass those audits and win more enterprise logistics contracts.
Protect Against Ransomware
Logistics companies are a favorite ransomware target — attackers know downtime is extremely expensive. Our layered defenses, immutable backups, and tested incident response protect your ability to keep operating even during a major attack.
Scale With Seasonal Volume
Peak season, holiday surges, and contract wins can double your operational volume overnight. Our managed IT scales with you — adding users, warehouse locations, and capacity as your business grows without leaving gaps.
Local Expertise, Global Reach
We understand the Houston logistics ecosystem — the Port of Houston, Bush Intercontinental air cargo, the Ship Channel terminals, and the cross-border trucking flows to Mexico. Local presence, global support capability.
