AEB

AEB SE is a German supply chain and global trade software company, headquartered in Stuttgart and 100% employee-owned, whose platform is used by 7,300+ companies for customs filing, trade compliance, multi-carrier shipping, transport and freight cost management, and warehouse management. In the logistics chain AEB sits at the intermediation layer of customs and trade tech: it is the certified filer between the shipper or forwarder and the customs authority (German ATLAS, EU AES/NCTS/ICS, EMCS, Intrastat, UK CHIEF), and the multi-carrier abstraction between the shipper and 300+ carriers, generating the carrier EDI so the customer never has to. Its API posture is unusually open for this tier: four public ReadMe developer hubs (Customs, Trade Compliance, Transport & Freight Management, SAP add-ons) publish machine-readable OpenAPI 3.0.1 for every product, served live and unauthenticated from AEB's own test and demo instances, with shared try-it credentials in the docs. But the contract is entirely proprietary — a REST-over-RPC business-facade shape unique to AEB, with a legacy SOAP business facade still exposed beside it — and production access requires registering with AEB and licensing the products, so it is a documented, quotable, contract-gated API rather than a self-serve one.

AEB publishes 11 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Customs Management API, Customs Inventory Management API, Customs Broker Portal API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include Logistics, Supply Chain, Germany, Customs, and Trade Compliance.

AEB’s developer surface includes documentation, changelog, engineering blog, pricing, and 9 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Telecommunications regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/aeb: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
