Naxxar Tech at LogiFEM 2025: Driving Innovation, Sustainability and the Future of Logistics

The logistics and freight forwarding industry is undergoing one of its most significant periods of transformation. Real-time cargo visibility, artificial intelligence, sustainability and greater connectivity are changing how goods move through global supply chains.

Naxxar Tech was delighted to attend LogiFEM 2025, bringing together professionals from across logistics, freight forwarding and supply chains to exchange ideas, develop new connections and explore the future of the industry.

For Naxxar Tech, the conference provided an opportunity to engage directly with logistics professionals and discuss some of the challenges and opportunities shaping global supply chains.

A clear message emerged: the future of logistics will require more than simply moving goods efficiently from origin to destination.

Businesses increasingly need to know where their cargo is, what is happening to it, whether something has gone wrong, and what environmental impact is associated with moving it.

Technology is making this possible.

Real-Time Cargo Visibility Is Transforming Logistics

International supply chains are complex.

A single shipment may pass through freight forwarders, shipping lines, ports, terminals, customs authorities, warehouses and inland transport providers before reaching its final destination.

Each handover can create another potential gap in visibility.

Traditional logistics systems have often relied on milestone updates — cargo collected, container loaded, vessel departed, vessel arrived or cargo delivered.

While these milestones remain important, businesses increasingly expect more.

They want real-time cargo visibility.

IoT technology is helping transform this environment by allowing connected devices to travel with cargo and provide information throughout the shipment journey.

Depending on the application, this can provide businesses with greater insight into cargo location, movement and shipment events.

For freight forwarders, this represents an opportunity to move beyond basic track-and-trace services towards a more sophisticated model of cargo intelligence.

At Naxxar Tech, our technology is designed to help businesses monitor cargo across multimodal supply chains, providing greater visibility across road, rail, sea and air movements.

The objective is simple: help organisations understand what is happening to their cargo throughout its journey.

From Shipment Tracking to Cargo Intelligence

Knowing where a shipment is located is valuable.

Understanding what that information means can be even more valuable.

This represents an important evolution within logistics technology.

Traditional tracking asks:

“Where is my cargo?”

The next generation of logistics platforms will increasingly ask:

“What is happening to my cargo, and does somebody need to take action?”

This is where artificial intelligence and advanced analytics can become increasingly important.

Global supply chains generate enormous quantities of information. The challenge is turning that information into useful operational intelligence.

AI can potentially help organisations identify patterns, detect anomalies and highlight events requiring attention.

When combined with real-time IoT information, logistics platforms can begin moving from passive tracking towards more intelligent supply-chain management.

For example, instead of simply displaying the position of a shipment, technology could help identify unusual movements, unexpected delays or other deviations from the expected cargo journey.

This represents the transition from cargo tracking to cargo intelligence.

AI and the Next Generation of Freight Forwarding

Artificial intelligence is likely to become an increasingly important part of freight forwarding and logistics.

However, the greatest value of AI will not necessarily come from replacing existing logistics processes.

It will come from helping people make better decisions.

Freight forwarders operate in an environment where teams constantly manage exceptions: delayed shipments, changing routes, documentation issues, customer enquiries and unexpected operational events.

Better data combined with AI can help organisations identify which shipments require attention and where intervention may be necessary.

The result could be logistics operations that are increasingly predictive rather than reactive.

For freight forwarders, this also creates an opportunity to provide customers with more sophisticated digital services.

Instead of simply organising transportation, forwarders can increasingly become providers of supply-chain intelligence.

Connecting Cargo Visibility with Digital Inspections

Visibility is not only about location.

Businesses also need better information about the cargo and containers themselves.

International shipments can involve multiple inspections, handovers and documentation processes. Photographs, documents and other shipment evidence may be stored across emails, phones and separate systems.

Digitalising this information can help create a more complete record of the cargo journey.

Naxxar Tech combines cargo visibility with digital cargo and container inspection capabilities, allowing operational information and inspection evidence to form part of a connected shipment record.

This can help businesses create stronger digital evidence around cargo movements and condition while reducing the fragmentation associated with traditional inspection processes.

The longer-term opportunity is to create a more comprehensive digital picture of the shipment — connecting location, condition, inspection information and journey events.

Sustainability Is Becoming Part of Logistics Decision-Making

Another major transformation discussed throughout the logistics industry is decarbonisation.

Cargo can travel thousands of miles and use several different transport modes before reaching its destination.

A typical international shipment could involve:

Truck → Port → Vessel → Port → Rail → Distribution Centre

Understanding the carbon emissions associated with that journey can therefore be complicated.

Yet cargo owners, logistics providers and their customers increasingly want better information about the environmental impact associated with moving goods.

Traditionally, emissions calculations and logistics operations have often existed in separate systems.

Naxxar Tech believes these two areas can increasingly be connected.

Our approach combines real-time cargo visibility with AI-driven CO₂ emissions monitoring and reporting, creating an opportunity for businesses to understand both the movement of their cargo and its associated environmental impact.

This creates another important transition:

Cargo Data → Cargo Intelligence → Carbon Intelligence

From Carbon Reporting to Carbon Intelligence

Measuring emissions is important, but simply generating another carbon report should not be the final objective.

Businesses need to understand what the information tells them.

Which routes generate the greatest emissions?

Would changing transport mode reduce the carbon footprint of a shipment?

Are inefficient routes or operational delays contributing to higher emissions?

How do different logistics options compare?

Answering these questions can transform emissions information from a reporting exercise into a business decision-making tool.

We describe this as moving from carbon reporting to carbon intelligence.

As AI, IoT and emissions data become increasingly connected, businesses could gain a more dynamic understanding of the relationship between operational efficiency and environmental performance.

Making Advanced Logistics Technology More Accessible

One of the challenges associated with logistics digitalisation is ensuring its benefits are available across the industry.

Advanced supply-chain technology should not be limited to the world's largest multinational logistics companies.

Small and medium-sized freight forwarders, shippers and cargo owners play an important role in global trade, yet many may not have access to the same technology infrastructure as larger organisations.

This creates a digitalisation gap.

Naxxar Tech's mission is to help make advanced supply-chain technology more accessible.

By bringing together IoT, AI, cloud technology, cargo visibility, digital inspections and emissions intelligence, we aim to provide businesses of different sizes with access to capabilities that can improve operational visibility and customer service.

For smaller freight forwarders in particular, digitalisation can also provide an opportunity to differentiate their services.

Greater visibility and better information can become part of the customer proposition rather than simply an internal operational tool.

Diversity and Leadership Matter Too

LogiFEM also highlights another important element of the industry's future: people.

Technology alone will not transform global logistics.

Successful transformation requires leadership, new ideas and diverse perspectives.

The logistics and freight forwarding industry benefits when people from different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives have opportunities to contribute, innovate and lead.

Supporting and strengthening the role of women across logistics and freight forwarding is therefore not separate from the industry's transformation.

It is part of it.

A more diverse industry can bring different perspectives to solving the increasingly complex operational, technological and sustainability challenges facing global supply chains.

Events such as LogiFEM provide an important platform for building those connections, sharing experiences and developing stronger professional networks.

Collaboration Is Essential to Digital Transformation

No technology company can transform global logistics alone.

Supply chains operate as ecosystems.

Cargo owners, freight forwarders, shipping lines, airlines, road hauliers, ports, terminals, customs authorities and technology providers all contribute information and services throughout a shipment's journey.

The next stage of logistics digitalisation will increasingly depend upon connecting these different participants.

For Naxxar Tech, collaboration with the logistics industry is therefore essential.

Conversations with freight forwarders and cargo owners help us understand the operational problems businesses experience every day.

That feedback is critical when developing technology designed to solve genuine industry challenges rather than simply adding another digital platform.

Building Smarter, Greener and More Connected Supply Chains

LogiFEM 2025 reinforced our belief that logistics is entering an exciting period of transformation.

Real-time visibility is providing businesses with better information about cargo movements.

Artificial intelligence is creating new opportunities to transform logistics data into actionable intelligence.

Digital inspections can create stronger and more accessible shipment records.

Carbon intelligence can help connect operational decisions with sustainability.

And greater diversity and collaboration can bring new perspectives to solving some of the industry's most difficult challenges.

At Naxxar Tech, we are developing technology around these interconnected needs.

Our vision is to create a connected digital ecosystem combining:

Real-Time Cargo Visibility → Digital Inspection → Cargo Intelligence → Carbon Intelligence

The aim is not simply to provide businesses with more data.

It is to help them make better decisions with it.

The Future of Logistics Is Connected, Intelligent and Sustainable

We would like to thank the LogiFEM community and everyone we met during the conference for the insightful conversations and opportunity to exchange ideas about the future of logistics and freight forwarding.

We look forward to continuing these discussions, developing new partnerships and working alongside organisations across the logistics industry.

The transformation of global supply chains will not happen through technology alone.

But combining better technology with industry expertise, collaboration and strong leadership can help create logistics networks that are more visible, resilient, efficient and sustainable.

At Naxxar Tech, we are excited to play our part in building them.

The future of logistics will be connected, intelligent and sustainable.
