Customs brokerage and global trade management across North America, Europe, and Asia
Livingston International operates a distributed customs brokerage and freight forwarding network spanning 85+ border, port, and airport locations across three continents. The tech stack reveals a hybrid approach: legacy EDI and Access-based systems paired with modern cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform), suggesting an ongoing modernization effort alongside operational constraints. Active hiring leans heavily toward operations and logistics roles, matching the core business model of on-ground border and logistics execution—a structural choice that differentiates from fully digitized competitors.
