MatchLog and Softlink Global Partner to Optimise Container Logistics

07 Jan 2026 CW Team

The integration brings container reuse intelligence directly into core ERP processes covering freight forwarding, customs, warehousing and financial operations. By embedding optimisation within Logi-Sys, users can manage container visibility, asset utilisation, shipment execution and cost controls through a single operational system, reducing reliance on parallel tools.

The partnership aims to address inefficiencies caused by container imbalance and empty repositioning by aligning reuse decisions with live shipment planning and execution inside the ERP. Real-time container turnaround tracking within operational workflows is expected to support more predictable planning, lower empty container movements and improved cost control across regional networks.

Commenting on the collaboration, Manish Singh, Co-founder, MatchLog, said the integration makes container optimisation a native part of logistics execution, enabling operators to improve asset utilisation, reduce costs and support more sustainable supply chains across Asia-Pacific trade lanes.

Amit Maheshwari, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Softlink Global, said embedding container reuse intelligence within Logi-Sys extends ERP functionality beyond transaction management to asset efficiency, providing customers with improved planning discipline and execution without additional operational complexity.

MatchLog has reported consistent growth in India and has expanded into Singapore, working with global shipping lines including Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd and Pacific International Lines. Softlink Global’s Logi-Sys platform supports more than 5,100 logistics companies across over 100 countries, positioning the partnership to scale container reuse practices globally.

MatchLog has entered into a strategic partnership with Softlink Global to integrate container optimisation capabilities into enterprise logistics workflows across Asia.
