About AEB Carrier Cloud

AEB Carrier Cloud (formerly AEB Carrier Connect) is a cloud multi-carrier shipping platform from Stuttgart-based AEB SE. It handles shipping order creation, label and document printing, EDI transmission, and tracking across more than 300 forwarders and parcel services under a single license. Companies connect it to ERP, WMS, and shop systems through the Carrier Cloud API, or to SAP ECC, EWM, TM, and S/4HANA through ready-made add-ons.

Pros & Cons

Pros

One license covers 300+ carriers, so you don't build or maintain individual carrier integrations
Published, volume-based pricing with per-shipment overage rates, which is rare for enterprise shipping software
Ready-made SAP add-ons for ECC, EWM, TM, and S/4HANA alongside the general-purpose API
Handles freight beyond parcels: pallets, containers, ocean, air, rail, and intermodal
Reviewers report fast label printing and a clear overview of shipments and pickups
Extends into AEB's TMS, customs, and export control modules from the same vendor

Cons

Setup fee on every tier, and the entry plan targets businesses with thousands of shipments a year
Reviewers note shipments can't be changed or cancelled once the drop-off list is printed
Carrier-specific connection variants can feel fragmented during setup
Very few public user reviews, many of them in German
Automatic carrier selection, rate management, and freight audit require the separate AEB TMS

Key Features

300+ carrier network

Ship with more than 300 forwarders and parcel services, including DHL, DPD, FedEx, GLS, and UPS, through one platform and one license instead of maintaining each carrier connection.

Shipping API

Small, composable API calls let you create a shipment early, enrich it over time, and print labels with a single process-shipment call at the packing station.

SAP integration

Carrier Cloud for SAP connects the same platform to SAP ECC, EWM, TM, and S/4HANA as an add-on or via SAP BTP, without custom API work.

Label and document printing

Validates shipment data before printing and generates labels, manifests, loading lists, and waybills on laser printers, thermal printers, or automated labeling machines.

All transport types

Covers parcel, pallet, multi-package, FCL, LTL/LCL, refrigerated, road, rail, ocean, air, and intermodal shipments.

Day-end closing and EDI

Generates the day-end closing and transmits EDI data with tracking numbers to each carrier at pickup.

Tracking and entry certificates

Returns carrier status updates and manages EU entry certificates (proof of intra-EU delivery) from carrier tracking logs, as an add-on.

Web interface for manual shipments

A wizard-guided web UI handles one-off shipments such as samples and marketing mailings on the same carrier network.

Business intelligence

Preconfigured reports and dashboards show shipment volumes by destination, carrier, and service type.

Best For

SAP-based shippers

Manufacturers and distributors running SAP EWM or S/4HANA print carrier labels and send EDI directly from SAP deliveries through the Carrier Cloud for SAP add-on.

Multi-carrier consolidation

Companies working with many parcel services and forwarders replace point-to-point carrier integrations with one platform connection.

High-volume warehouse shipping

Warehouses connect their WMS through the API and print labels at the packing station with a single call; distributor TTI reports up to 1,800 shipments per hour.
