How it connects
Magaya builds freight forwarding, NVOCC, warehouse and customs software used largely by small and mid-sized logistics providers in the Americas. Its platform keeps shipments, bookings, warehouse receipts and accounting together, which makes it the place where most Magaya users first see a carrier's D&D bill.
ATAHSKIA reads ocean shipments, container details, milestone dates and vendor bills from Magaya, matches each D&D charge to its master B/L and container, and runs the 20 element check of 46 CFR § 541.6 and the 30-day issuance rule of § 541.7. Results flow back to the shipment as attachments and notes, so the person rebilling the customer can see whether the underlying charge holds up.
Smaller NVOCCs feel the pass-through rules most. Under § 541.7(b) you must issue your own invoice within 30 days of receiving the carrier's, and § 541.7(c) gives you notice and an extra 30 days when a charge is passed through. Getting the carrier invoice audited on arrival keeps both clocks under control.

What it recovers
Audit before you rebill
A terminal storage bill lands in Magaya with no applicable tariff rule cited. It is flagged before your billing clerk adds it to the customer's invoice.
Track the carrier's 30-day answer
Once a relief request goes out, the carrier's 30-day resolution deadline under § 541.8 is tracked and shown on the shipment.
Give customers the evidence
When a customer challenges your pass-through, the audit packet attached to the shipment shows exactly which carrier invoice elements were checked.
Magaya integration FAQ
Does this replace Magaya accounting?
No. Magaya stays your system of record for bills and invoices. ATAHSKIA audits the D&D charges and reports what to dispute, pay or hold.
What if we record dates in custom fields?
That is common. During onboarding we map your custom fields to the availability, pickup and return dates the audit needs.
Is ATAHSKIA a Magaya partner?
We connect through the access your Magaya deployment provides. We do not claim a formal partnership with Magaya.
