The challenge

Insured cargo. No platform.

MGI Ship handles packages whose sensitive nature , diamonds, precious metals, luxury jewellery , demands a platform that treats every shipment as financially insured cargo, with risk-tier evaluation at every step. Before Aerosoft's engagement, the business operated without a unified platform capable of handling those requirements end to end.

/ 01 , What was missing

No platform, no audit trail

  • No structured customer registration or verification
  • No real-time cost estimation by zone & declared value
  • No automated billing reconciliation against FedEx invoices
  • No insurance-tier logic at shipment creation
  • No audit trail required for compliance and chain of custody
/ 02 , Why it mattered

Stakes that don't tolerate slack

  • A missed package carries real financial exposure
  • A wrong insurance classification creates uncovered loss
  • Manual billing creates margin leak on every shipment
  • No verification gate means high-risk cargo to unknown accounts
  • Carrier API failures must degrade gracefully, not crash
Security and tracking accuracy are not optional features for this business. They are mandatory operational requirements , a missed package or a wrong insurance classification carries real financial and reputational exposure.
The hard problems

Five integrations that had to be right.

Aerosoft had to integrate complex third-party services , FedEx APIs, USPS ZIP validation and secure payment gateways , while maintaining complete system stability and security compliance.

Insurance logic

Risk-tier evaluation by value, type & destination , premium applied in real time.

FedEx API

Real-time carrier validation, zone calculation & rate retrieval with graceful failures.

CSV billing

FedEx invoice CSVs ingested, parsed & mapped to client accounts with full breakdowns.

6-digit accounts

Unique account numbers & manual admin verification before any access is granted.

Weight floor

2.2-pound minimum enforced consistently across cost estimation and billing.

Delivery in four milestones

Each milestone a validated, deployable increment.

The four-month project ran across four tightly scoped milestones , each completed, tested and deployed , giving the client visibility and accountability at every stage.

Milestone 01

Authentication, dashboard & account system

User registration with unique six-digit account numbers, admin verification before activation, role-based access controls, and a core dashboard delivering real-time shipment visibility from day one.

Milestone 02

Address management, shipment workflow & FedEx integration

Full address-book management with USPS ZIP validation, end-to-end shipment workflow from creation to dispatch, deep FedEx API integration, and residential-address detection with surcharge logic.

Milestone 03

Cost estimator, billing & insurance logic

Real-time cost estimator using zone, weight and declared value; full billing system generating client invoices from contract rates; risk-tier insurance engine across diamonds, jewellery, metals and commercial cargo.

Milestone 04

Reporting, CSV engine, admin tools & deployment

Dedicated CSV processing engine reconciling FedEx invoice data, automated invoice generation, comprehensive admin tooling, and production deployment , with two months of post-launch tuning included.
