A Balanced Approach to Legacy Modernization: How Stargo Integrates with Your Tech Stack
From predictive maintenance to real-time route optimization, as freight, logistics and supply chain operations push forward with AI, one key challenge remains: many companies still need to rely on updated systems that integrate modern technologies like Generative AI (GenAI).
At Stargo, we understand that legacy systems are deeply embedded in daily freight and logistics operations, making a complete overhaul neither practical nor feasible for most businesses.
That’s why our solution bridges the gap. Our approach isn’t about overhauling your existing systems but enhancing them through intelligent data management and automation. The entire process takes less than four weeks to complete, minimizing disruption and enabling immediate results. Here’s how we do it.
Overcoming Legacy System Challenges
Stargo’s GenAI data automation tools seamlessly integrate with your legacy systems without disrupting existing processes. As semi- and unstructured data, such as multi-lingual free-text emails, PDFs, and Excel sheets, flows in, we standardize and enrich it, eliminating the manual work typically needed to clean and format the data. How does this benefit freight, logistics and supply chain leaders?
Automating Data Flow for Improved Decision-Making
Freight, logistics and supply chain data often come from multiple sources—emails, contracts, rate sheets, and procurement documents—and in various formats, including Excel, PDFs, and emails. Stargo automates the entire process of extracting, standardizing, and enriching this data so it can flow seamlessly into your existing systems.
As Joel explained in his recent keynote speech in Frankfurt, “We are not here to change your legacy system but rather to augment it.” This means you benefit from automation and enhanced data accuracy without the hassle of changing your entire infrastructure.
Real-world Applications
Let’s say you receive a complex rate sheet from a supplier or carrier. Our system can automatically process the document, extract the pricing information, and ensure it’s available in your system for immediate action.
This allows you to respond faster to pricing requests, optimize shipping routes based on real-time data, and make better, more informed decisions.
Improving Productivity and Margins
Integrating Stargo into your tech stack boosts margins by increasing productivity by 22-28%. Automating data processing frees your team from manual data entry and error correction to focus on high-value tasks like route optimization and rate negotiations. With more accurate data, your pricing strategies improve, reducing costly errors such as incorrect pricing that can hurt profits and reputation.

Enhancing Sales and Compliance
Our solution goes beyond operational improvements. By automating the processing of RFQs, pricing requests, and contract renewals, we also help streamline sales and compliance processes.
Freight, logistics and supply chain companies often receive complex, multilingual, multi-page documents from clients or suppliers, which can be difficult to process manually. By automating these processes from end to end, your sales teams have accurate, real-time information at their fingertips, speeding up the entire sales cycle.
Compliance is a growing concern
One of the most pressing concerns in logistics today is data security and compliance, which is why security is built into every layer of our solution.
Stargo is GDPR-compliant, adhering to strict data privacy standards across all regions. As I often explain to industry leaders, "We are not using external machines; all data is processed within our GDPR-compliant servers. This ensures that your data stays secure, and you don't have to worry about being exposed to third parties or competitors."
Data Security and ISO 27001 Compliance
A key feature of our system is that customer data is never shared across clients. We’ve "built a machine that cannot learn from any customer to benefit another," ensuring full data protection.
With global logistics operations, Stargo’s cloud infrastructure supports this complexity, with U.S., Germany, Ireland, and Singapore servers to comply with regional laws. As I often emphasize, "We work in the cloud, but the data never belongs to us."
Our GenAI technology uses multiple layers of encryption to secure data at every stage of transfer and storage, ensuring your data remains private, protected, and fully compliant.
Stargo: Unlocking GenAI’s Potential without Disruption
