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 8 more developer resources.
