While change is a constant, the tech revolution has shown us that the pace of this change and its impact on various business verticals is anything but constant. The Logistics sector is one such industry that has witnessed a whirlwind of changes – both rapid and piecemeal – over the by-gone decade. From adopting tech tools to streamline supply chain solutions to minimising carrier costs to boost profits, logistic companies have had to adapt to the changing landscape of the industry to maintain their competitive edge.

Among the forerunning of such innovative tools has been the adoption of cloud-based systems. While such systems come with scalability benefits, they also help minimise costs and enhance reliability. Cloud-based logistics systems are protected with data encryption that accords them yet another advantage over the traditional routes. One firm that’s spearheading this revolutionary change in the industry is Mgn Logistics Inc. With its astute technological expertise and supply chain management experience, the company has been redefining the industry with its innovative solutions since 2000.

As a full-service freight management solutions provider built on the values of innovation, technology, and dedication, MGN Logistics works relentlessly to utilise its proprietary tech-based tools to help clients harmonise their logistic goals and costs with their overall business plans. MGN Logistics has now carved its name as an industry stalwart. The firm has earned several accolades for its unparalleled services, including being hailed as one of the top 100 3PL providers in America by the Inbound Logistics magazine.

Meeting the Ingenious Architect

Matthew Telesca, President & CEO of this innovative logistics empire, crafted the venture to be the premier tech-based supply chain solution provider in the market. A background in logistics and finance, coupled with his expertise in the field of software development made him well-poised to initiate an era of tech-based ingenuity into the supply chain and logistic industries that were still at the nascent stages of embracing the modern tech wave in the early 2000s.

Thanks to our innovative approach and relentless zeal to improve our software, we have become synonymous with premium, yet cost-effective logistic solutions – Matthew Telesca

As an individual who believes in the power of relentless efforts, Telesca is convinced that even as we march toward attaining success, for the large part, it remains elusive. However, for him, failure is a requirement for success, and one truly only fails when they stop trying. For Telesca, success lies in pursuing the noble path of innovation. Leading the venture from the forefront, Telesca believes in remaining engaged at every step of the way. To this end, he adopts a holistic and innovative approach to leadership. While he presides over executive meetings discussing the company’s mega-growth and product development strategies, he also pays equal attention to curating a work culture that’s conducive to innovative thinking.

The Story behind the Company

While Telesca’s interest in the field of finance and business germinated during his childhood days, the idea for a business like MGN Logistics originated in his mind when he was working at a warehouse. When faced with an urgent need to deliver items within a 24-hour window, Telesca had to sort through the yellow pages to find a carrier capable of performing this feat at a reasonable price point.  Online searches such as Google simply didn’t exist nor did interactive online freight websites. This is when Telesca realized the presence of a budding business idea. He started working on a prototype website immediately and developed ‘logisticsquote.com’.

With MGN Logistics, my goal was to go the extra mile, not just providing clients with  software solutions but really a comprehensive suite of tools that could optimize their entire supply chain – Matthew Telesca

Launched in early 2000, MGN Logistics gained the distinction of being one of the forerunners in establishing a fully automated online freight marketplace. Logisticsquote.com was one of the first of its kind freight website, where customers could review shipping rates, ship their products, track their shipments and create the necessary shipping documents automatically.  By 2004, the growth and success of the website had propelled it to one of the top freight websites and ultimately, a sale to private investors. While MGN Logistics continued to innovate and develop more advanced web-based freight management software, in 2007, the company acquired a Boston-based freight management firm and opened its first physical office and launched a new state-of-the-art Transportation Management System (TMS). This adaptive TMS, coupled with the other revolutionary ideas such as interactive KPI charting and predictive pricing helped establish MGN as an unparalleled innovator. Today, MGN Logistics has become a household name in the industry. With offices in Philadelphia, Boston, Orlando, Sacramento, San Juan, PR and Santiago, Dominican Republic, the company has been recognized as one of America’s fastest growing private companies by the Inc. magazine, six years in a row.  And Telesca, was named one of the top CEOs to watch in 2018 and again in 2020.

Infusing Innovation into the Work Culture

Innovation is built into the DNA of MGN and its corporate culture. Telesca believes that the success of a business is not solely determined by the ingenuity of its leader, but rather, the innovative thinking and implementation of ideas by the entire team. To this end, the team at MGN Logistics is constantly encouraged to synthesise ideas that will disrupt the current status quo, paving the way for an optimized future. With a dual-prong approach of empowering and incentivizing novel out-of-the-box thinking, the management at MGN Logistics ensures that its employees keep fuelling the fire of innovation.
