MBE International deploys a network of autonomous AI agents that continuously analyze rates, routes, and capacity across 82+ carriers — engineering custom shipping solutions for enterprise and large-scale operations in real time, across courier, air, rail, and ocean.
MBE is designed for enterprises and high-volume shippers that move mission-critical freight at scale. Our agentic engine, dedicated support, and carrier network are built around the demands of Fortune 500 supply chains and major operations.
Smaller businesses are considered in exceptional cases, subject to approval.
From a single overnight document to a full ocean container, our agents weigh every viable path across cost, speed, and reliability — then keep optimizing after the label is printed. Because the engine never stops watching rates, capacity, and conditions, a shipment booked today can be quietly re-routed tomorrow if a smarter option opens up. One network, four divisions, and a single point of accountability for all of it.
Domestic and international parcel and document delivery, routed dynamically as agents weigh transit time against landed cost on every single piece. From a same-day legal envelope to a pallet of e-commerce orders, the engine picks the service level that hits your deadline for the lowest total spend — and flags a better option the moment one appears.
◆ agent-routedTime-critical air cargo backed by live capacity sensing across passenger belly space and dedicated freighters. Agents rebalance bookings the moment a faster or cheaper lane opens, and pre-stage customs paperwork so your shipment clears borders instead of waiting at them. When speed is non-negotiable, the engine treats every hour as the asset it is.
◆ capacity-awareHigh-volume rail moves modeled for fuel cost, schedule reliability, and emissions, then balanced automatically against your delivery windows. For freight that doesn't need to fly, rail is often the quiet winner on both price and carbon — and the agents know exactly when to choose it, when to combine it with truck for the final leg, and when another mode wins outright.
◆ multi-objectiveGlobal ocean shipping with predictive ETA modeling that looks past the schedule to what's actually happening at sea and at port. When terminals congest, weather shifts, or a sailing slips, the agents reroute proactively and tell you before it becomes your problem — turning the least predictable mode in freight into one you can plan around.
◆ predictive ETAA live glimpse of the agentic engine at work — continuously sensing the market and re-solving every shipment for the best possible outcome. What you see here mirrors what runs behind the scenes on real freight: rates ingested, capacity scored, risk predicted, and routes committed in the time it takes to read this sentence. No refreshing, no waiting on a quote — just decisions, as conditions change.
Our agents operate as a single planetary network — sensing capacity, weather, customs, and rates across continents, then routing your freight along the smartest path available at any given second.
From first mile to final delivery, every shipment is continuously re-optimized as conditions shift. No static quotes. No stale routes. Just intelligence that never stops working.
MBE International has moved freight for the world's biggest names for years, building the carrier relationships and operational muscle that only come from doing the work at scale. Now we've fused that operational depth with a fleet of autonomous AI agents — pairing hard-won logistics expertise with decision-making at machine speed. The result isn't a brokerage with software bolted on; it's a shipping company rebuilt from the routing engine outward, where intelligence is the product and reliability is the proof.
We provide shipping services across every platform — documents, air cargo, rail freight, and ocean freight — for both domestic and international lanes. Our focus is enterprise and large-scale operations: we serve over 80 Fortune 500 companies and major businesses nationwide, representing 82+ brand-name carriers across four divisions. On occasion we take on select smaller businesses, but only in exceptional cases and subject to approval.
What sets us apart today is how those resources are orchestrated. Agentic AI turns our carrier network into a living system that engineers a custom solution for every shipment — and keeps improving it after the booking is made.
You tell us what you ship and where it's going. From there, a coordinated team of AI agents handles the rest — reasoning over millions of rate and routing combinations no human team could evaluate in the time a booking window stays open. Each agent specializes: one senses live capacity, another forecasts disruption, another solves for your priorities, and another books and tracks the result. They work in concert, around the clock, and they get sharper with every shipment they move.
Agents ingest live carrier rates, capacity, fuel, customs, and port data across all four divisions, around the clock.
Each shipment is solved for your priorities — cost, speed, reliability, sustainability — then matched to the ideal carrier mix.
Bookings are placed, tracked, and re-optimized in flight. If conditions change, the agents reroute before you'd notice a delay.
Agents evaluate millions of rate-and-route combinations faster than any human team could review a single quote.
Every shipment sharpens the model — lane performance, carrier reliability, and seasonal patterns feed back in automatically.
One live view across courier, air, rail, and ocean — with proactive alerts before disruptions reach your dock.
Optimize for emissions alongside cost and speed, with sustainability scoring on every routing decision.
Trusted by 80+ Fortune 500 companies and major enterprises, with security and reliability built in.
Agents do the heavy lifting; your team sets the priorities and keeps final say on every decision that matters.
Five steps, mostly autonomous. You set the priorities and keep final say; the agents handle the complexity in between — the comparing, the booking, the re-checking, the chasing. It's the difference between managing a hundred small decisions a day and managing the handful that actually need you.
Share origin, destination, cargo details, and what matters most — cost, speed, reliability, or sustainability. That's the whole ask on your side. There's no portal to learn or rate sheet to decode; a few details are all the engine needs to get to work.
The network instantly evaluates 82+ carriers and millions of routing combinations against live rates, capacity, and conditions — the kind of search no human team could finish before the booking window closes. What used to take a desk full of phone calls happens in the background, in moments.
A tailored, multi-objective plan is assembled and matched to the ideal carrier mix for your exact priorities — not a default template, but a solution shaped around your lanes. You see the recommendation and the reasoning, and you keep the final call.
Once you approve, shipments are booked, monitored, and re-optimized in flight as conditions change — a delayed sailing, a congested port, a cheaper lane opening up. The agents act on it automatically and keep you informed, so you manage exceptions instead of every detail.
Every completed shipment feeds back into the model, so the engine gets measurably better on your specific lanes over time. Reliability compounds, savings deepen, and the network you ship on tomorrow is a little smarter than the one you shipped on today.
A purpose-built agentic stack working in concert — sensing, predicting, deciding, and acting across your entire freight footprint. Every layer feeds the next: live data sharpens the predictions, the predictions sharpen the optimization, and the outcomes feed back in to make the next decision better. It's infrastructure designed for one job — moving your freight the smartest way possible, every single time.
From a regional shipping provider to a full agentic logistics network — the numbers that mark how far the platform has come, and the scale it now operates at every day. Each milestone represents real freight moved, real carriers integrated, and real businesses trusting MBE with shipments they can't afford to get wrong.
Security, compliance, and chain-of-custody aren't add-ons or afterthoughts — they're designed into the platform from the ground up. Enterprise shippers move sensitive, high-value, and regulated freight, and the engine is built to meet that bar by default rather than on request. The same intelligence that optimizes your routes also documents and protects every step of the journey.
Live analytics straight from the agentic engine — performance, savings, and routing intelligence, visualized as it happens rather than assembled in a monthly report. This is the same operational picture our team works from: where freight is, what it's costing, how it's performing against the industry, and where the next optimization is coming from. Transparency isn't a feature here — it's the whole point.
Traditional freight brokering relies on phone calls, inboxes, and static quotes that are stale the moment they're sent. Our agents work continuously, at machine speed, treating every shipment as a living decision rather than a one-time transaction. The contrast below isn't about doing the old thing faster — it's about doing a fundamentally different thing.
| Capability | Traditional Shipping | MBE Agentic AI |
|---|---|---|
| Rate discovery | Manual calls, a few carriers | 82+ carriers scanned in real time |
| Routing | Static, set once at booking | Continuously re-optimized in flight |
| Disruptions | Reactive, found after the fact | Predicted and rerouted proactively |
| Speed of decision | Hours to days | Milliseconds |
| Visibility | Fragmented across portals | One live view, all four modes |
| Improvement | Manual, occasional reviews | Learns automatically every shipment |
| Pricing | Opaque markups, case by case | Optimized for total landed cost |
| Sustainability | Rarely measured | Carbon scored on every route |
| Availability | Business hours, human-limited | Always on, 24/7/365 |
From just-in-time manufacturing to high-velocity retail, our agents tune to the constraints that matter most in your world — whether that's a production line that can't go idle, a shelf that can't go empty, or a cold chain that can't break. The optimization goals shift by industry, and so does the engine. You get a shipping partner that already understands the pressures your sector lives with.
Just-in-time inbound and outbound freight, optimized for uptime and zero line-stoppages. The agents protect your production schedule like it's their own — sequencing deliveries to the hour and rerouting around disruptions before a missing part ever idles a line.
High-velocity parcel and replenishment flows that flex with demand spikes, promotions, and peak season. The engine scales with your order volume automatically, holding service levels steady when everyone else's freight is fighting for the same capacity.
Time- and temperature-sensitive lanes with compliance and chain-of-custody built in, not bolted on. For shipments where a broken cold chain or a paperwork gap isn't an option, the agents monitor conditions end to end and document every step automatically.
Oversized, heavy, and project freight routed across rail and ocean for the best landed cost on loads that don't fit a standard playbook. The engine models the combinations a human planner rarely has time to — and finds the path that gets it there safely and affordably.
High-value electronics and sensitive components with expedited air options and end-to-end visibility from dock to door. When the cargo is worth more than the freight, the agents weight security and speed accordingly and keep eyes on every leg.
Cross-border shipments with automated customs intelligence spanning all four divisions. The agents predict holds, pre-stage documentation, and choose the clearance path least likely to stall — so international freight moves with the same confidence as domestic.
Our agentic network spans domestic and international lanes across every major mode and trade corridor — connecting origins and destinations on a single intelligent grid that's always optimizing.
Representative results when our agents take over the heavy lifting on real freight programs — the kind of gains that show up on a P&L, not just a dashboard. Savings compound as the engine learns your lanes, and reliability climbs as disruptions get predicted instead of discovered. These aren't ceilings; they're what good looks like once the agents have room to work.
Continuous rate scanning across 82+ carriers uncovered savings on lanes that had run unchanged for years.
Predictive ETAs and proactive rerouting kept just-in-time inbound freight flowing through peak disruption.
What once took hours of manual brokering now resolves in milliseconds, freeing the team for exceptions.
What teams say after putting our agentic engine to work on their freight — in their own words, across very different industries and shipping profiles. The common thread: less time firefighting, more predictable outcomes, and costs that finally move in the right direction.
The agents found savings on lanes we'd run the same way for years. It paid for itself in the first quarter.
Rerouting used to take our team hours of phone calls. Now it happens before we even see the disruption.
One dashboard across air, rail, and ocean. The visibility alone changed how we plan capacity.
We represent more than 82 brand-name shipping carriers across four divisions. Our agents treat them as a single programmable network — so your freight always travels the smartest available path.
Our agents orchestrate brand-name carriers across every division — air, ocean, rail, parcel, customs, and last-mile — into one intelligent system. Instead of you managing a dozen relationships and a dozen portals, the engine treats the entire carrier landscape as a single programmable network, and always routes you down the smartest available path.
Operators who put the agentic engine to work on their freight — in their words, not ours. They span retail, manufacturing, distribution, electronics, and food, but they describe the same shift: freight that used to demand constant attention now mostly takes care of itself.
"We cut landed cost by double digits in the first quarter. The agents found lane combinations our team never would have."
"Reliability is the headline. Our on-time numbers jumped and the exceptions that used to eat our week mostly just… stopped."
"One dashboard for courier, air, rail, and ocean. We finally see the whole network instead of stitching together five portals."
"During peak season the agents rerouted around a port backlog before we'd even noticed it. That alone saved the quarter."
"Our carbon reporting used to be a spreadsheet nightmare. Now emissions come baked into every routing decision and the report writes itself."
Perspectives on where agentic AI is taking logistics — and practical notes on how to put it to work in a real supply chain. We write about the problems we're actually solving: capacity sensing, disruption prediction, carbon-aware routing, and the unglamorous data plumbing that makes reliability possible. No hype, just what we're learning as we build.
Inside MBE's agent loop: how an order flows from intake to delivery without a human touching a rate sheet — sensing capacity, predicting disruption, solving across cost, speed, and carbon, then booking the winning path in milliseconds.
A traditional quote is a snapshot of a market that's already moved by the time you act on it. We make the case for treating every shipment as a living decision — continuously re-optimized as rates, capacity, and conditions change — and walk through what that shift unlocks in cost and reliability.
Capacity is the hidden variable that quietly drives freight pricing. Here's how live capacity sensing lets the agents see space tightening before it shows up in rates — and lock the right booking at the right moment instead of paying the premium everyone else does.
Carbon doesn't have to be the metric you sacrifice for cost or speed. We dig into how emissions become a first-class objective in the routing engine — weighted alongside price and transit time — and why that often surfaces options a cost-only model would have skipped right past.
A 99.1% on-time rate isn't luck or a friendlier carrier — it's infrastructure. This one goes behind the number into the unglamorous data plumbing that makes it possible: the feeds, the forecasts, and the relentless re-checking that turn reliability from a hope into a default.
Air is fast and expensive; ocean is slow and cheap — but the right answer lives somewhere on the curve between them, and it moves. We break down the cost-time tradeoff and show how the agents decide exactly where each shipment should sit, shipment by shipment.
Borders are where good transit times go to die. We look at how the engine predicts customs holds before they happen and pre-stages documentation so shipments clear instead of sitting — turning the most unpredictable step in international freight into a manageable one.
Tell us your lanes, your volumes, and what matters most — cost, speed, reliability, or sustainability — and we'll develop a custom, AI-optimized plan built specifically for your company.
