our background
Solving the global shipment tracking problem
The brain-child of transportation industry entrepreneur Bernie Jackson and
full-stack developer Alex Sarafanov, AES
evolved from their frustration with the lack of viable—and reliable, multimodal tracking
solutions for freight forwarders.
With the goal of eliminating multimodal shipment location & visibility problems, they
decided—the only solution was for them to create the solution.
Founded by Bernie and Alex in 2017,
AES
is now an industry-leading Tracking-as-a-Service
(
TaaS
)
company that provides unparalleled multimodal shipment visibility and location services.
Using next-gen technology to provide real-time visibility on a global scale, the
AES
neuralTRAX™
shipment disposition intelligence engine sources data from over 200+ countries, 500+
port terminals, 100+ steamship lines & NVOCC companies, drayage providers, customs agencies,
and all North American Railways.
Once integrated into a client software system, the
neuralTRAX™
shipment tracking data ensures
AES
clients
realize hard-dollar savings
through increased efficiencies & billing accuracy, employee staff & task reductions,
bottleneck identification—and reductions in costly demurrage, detention, and claims charges.
