International Electronic Business III

What International Electronic Business III does

International Electronic Business III (IEB3) is a US-based cloud SaaS provider of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) integration services, headquartered in Portland, Oregon with active service markets in Seattle, Phoenix, and Boston. The company serves mid-market and enterprise clients across retail, manufacturing, logistics/3PL/warehousing, automotive, grocery, healthcare/life sciences, eCommerce, and customs verticals, automating purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices, and related B2B document exchange with trading partners such as Walmart, Amazon, Target, and Costco.

The core platform is a cloud-based EDI engine built around an 'EDI as a Layer' architecture that supports X12 and EDIFACT standards, AS2 and API-based transfers, and native integration with SAP, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle, and Acumatica ERPs. Distinct technical capabilities include minutes-based trading partner onboarding, a 'No Test Production' feature for smaller companies, real-time 24/7 transaction monitoring with proactive alerts, and a unified stack spanning retail-to-customs integration that the company positions as eliminating isolated EDI 'islands'. The platform is reinforced by a HIPAA-compliant data exchange capability and a new patent (filed/pending, 2025) covering the EDI technology. Supporting infrastructure includes partnerships with IBM (B2B VAN), Atlassian (collaboration), Hivelocity (cloud hosting), and MFT Gateway (managed file transfer).

IEB3 operates a founder-led business under CEO Dan Gilley and partners Pete Puccio III (founder) and Mario Pipkin, with collective EDI domain experience dating back to 1986 at Boeing. Revenue is generated through subscription SaaS fees and managed services for full-service EDI outsourcing, sold on a quote-based, consultation-driven model (no public pricing). Go-to-market relies on remote Business Development Associates specialized by industry vertical, supported by location-specific SEO pages and direct enterprise engagement. The company is privately held with no institutional funding, M&A, or public listing disclosed in the input data.

Direct peers

• SPS Commerce: Leading cloud-based EDI provider serving retailers, suppliers, grocers, and logistics providers with full-service managed EDI. Direct competitor to IEB3 across the same mid-market and enterprise retail/supply chain verticals, with a much larger recurring revenue base and sales force.
• TrueCommerce: Global EDI and supply chain integration provider (owned by Körber) offering managed services, VAN, and ERP-integrated EDI for retail, manufacturing, and logistics. Overlaps directly with IEB3 on EDI-as-a-service delivery and multi-vertical positioning.
• Cleo: Cloud-native B2B integration platform specializing in EDI and API connectivity for supply chain ecosystems. Direct competitor on the technology side, with stronger iPaaS-style orchestration capabilities than IEB3.
• DiCentral: EDI managed services and B2B integration provider focused on retail, manufacturing, and automotive supply chains. Closely comparable business model (managed EDI + ERP integration) and overlapping vertical focus with IEB3.

Emerging players

• Orderful: API-first EDI platform targeting modern supply chains with a developer-friendly alternative to legacy VANs. Comparable to IEB3's API-based connectivity pitch but with stronger API-native positioning and developer ecosystem.
• Babelway: Cloud-based EDI and B2B integration SaaS focused on rapid onboarding and flexible partner connections. Conceptually similar to IEB3's 'EDI as a Layer' positioning with emphasis on speed-to-value, primarily serving European mid-market.
• Data Masons: EDI and supply chain integration provider specializing in Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, and Acumatica — three ERPs IEB3 also targets natively. Direct competitor in the Dynamics/Acumatica mid-market EDI niche.

Broad incumbents

• OpenText (B2B / GXS): Large enterprise information management vendor with a major B2B integration / EDI business (formerly GXS). Broad incumbent offering EDI, MFT, and B2B gateway services — competes with IEB3 for large enterprise EDI contracts but as part of a much wider portfolio.
• IBM Sterling (B2B Integration): IBM's B2B integration suite covering EDI, VAN, and managed file transfer. Already named as a partner of IEB3, but in the broader market competes head-on for enterprise EDI workloads with much greater scale and global coverage.

Others

• MFT Gateway: Managed file transfer provider named as an IEB3 partner, offering secure file transfer capabilities that complement EDI. Not a direct competitor but an adjacent/ecosystem vendor in the broader B2B data exchange space.
