In the 1990s, David Phillips, CEO of the Dubai-based freight forwarder Freight Systems, saw a need for smarter freight forwarding software. With his deep understanding of what freight forwarders need from their operating platform to best support their success, David led the development of Freight System’s homegrown Forwarding Operating Platform and Financial Suite.
After several years of in-house development, real-world testing and functional expansion, David took the opportunity to commercialize the core technology and created a new software and services company called Newage Global. The technology was branded as e-Freight Suite.
Over the next two decades Newage deployed e-Freight Suite along with WMS and Business Process Outsourcing services to more than 500 freight forwarders in more than 30 countries.
In recent years, Newage recognized the need to upgrade its global customer base to a more modern cloud based version of the software solution while leveraging a multi-tenant API first approach. In response, Newage launched NewageNXT in late 2023.
Newage is currently under the leadership of David’s son, Jonathan Phillips, and continues to grow and evolve, with the development of our powerful WMS and promoting our Business Process Outsourcing services alongside the NewageNXT platform.
Newage has grown into a trusted partner for freight forwarders worldwide. With nearly 10,000 active users across 30 countries, we deliver technology and expertise that drives efficiency, accuracy, and success.
