Built for the long haul.

Independently owned since 1973, building software that takes the repetitive work off people’s desks. Same family, same commitment, and still the people who answer when you call.

How we got here

The short history.

Most software companies in this market are younger than our oldest customer relationship.

1973FoundedElectronic Business Equipment opens in East Moline

Word processors, calculators and networking. The name still fits, even if the equipment doesn’t.

1990sImagingDocument imaging and workflow

Helping Fortune 500 companies digitize business processes, well before anyone called it digital transformation.

2000sTransportationWorkflow automation, aimed at carriers

Replacing manual paperwork with automated workflows, and narrowing to one industry rather than all of them.

2010sMobileCapture moves into the cab

SHIPSMobile™ connects drivers, the back office and the TMS, ending the truck-stop scanner.

TodayAI & RPAA layer over the systems you already run

Platform agnostic, working across your TMS, ERP and imaging rather than replacing any of them. Capture, understand, automate, execute.

What we actually do

Automate the routine.
Escalate the exception.

Work-by-exception is the whole idea, and at EBE it predates most of the software it now replaces. Software processes the standard transaction. A person handles the one that doesn’t fit. That’s how a back office scales without adding headcount, and it’s the thread running through everything we sell.

What makes us different

Four things a competitor can’t say.

Not features. Structural facts about how the company is owned and run, which is usually what actually differs after the demos are over.

01Independent since day one

Privately held and independently funded since 1973. We’ve spent more than five decades building for the long term, not the next funding round.

02Built for transportation

Not a general AI platform pointed at freight. The workflows, the exceptions and the document types are the ones carriers actually have.

03Our integrations are ours

Built and maintained in-house, not handed to a third party who learns your systems on your budget and disappears afterward.

04Your data, your rules

EBE Azure, your Azure, EBE hosted or your own on-premise. We don’t force a move to our environment.

What we believe

Eight things we haven’t changed our minds about.

01Respect & recognition

People do better work when the work is seen. That applies to our team and to yours.

02Competence

Knowing transportation, not just software. Most of this team has worked in the industry, not only sold to it.

03Collaboration

The best implementations are the ones where the carrier pushes back. We would rather be corrected early.

04Flexibility

Configured to how you actually operate. No two carriers run the same process and we have stopped pretending otherwise.

05Performance

Measured in hours returned and errors removed, not in features shipped.

06Customer satisfaction

650+ carriers, most of whom came back for a second solution. That’s the number we watch.

07Integrity

Independently owned means we answer to customers rather than to investors expecting an exit.

08Longevity

Independently owned since 1973. We intend to be here for the next generation of carriers, not the next exit window.

SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, AICPA SOC for Service Organizations
Trust

SOC 2 Type 2.

EBE has completed a SOC 2 Type 2 audit, the one that tests whether controls actually operated over a period of time rather than whether they existed on the day someone looked. If your IT team needs the detail before a procurement conversation, it’s on the trust page.

Who we work with

650+ carriers, brokers and fleets.

From regional operators to some of the largest names in North American freight.
