What Retail Compliance Technology does

Retail Compliance Technology, operating under the brand MABD Pro, is a privately-held US software company founded in 2014 and headquartered in O'Fallon, Missouri. The company sells a single product, MABD Pro, a cloud-based predictive analytics platform that helps retail suppliers and vendors ensure Must Arrive By Date (MABD) Purchase Order Compliance for LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight shipments. The platform accepts structured inputs such as the target MABD, inventory availability, origin and destination zip codes, and a selected retailer compliance profile, then evaluates all viable carrier, service type, and ship date combinations to produce probability-based Power Rankings (1-10 scale) and instant multi-carrier rate quotes, with automated handling of weekends, holidays, and carrier-specific service holidays.

Under the hood, MABD Pro is built on a proprietary analytics process that encodes preloaded retailer-specific compliance rules (single delivery date, delivery-by date, delivery window, do-not-ship-before, and variable MABD windows) and applies calendar and holiday impact analysis to each query. The system can be deployed as a standalone web-hosted application or integrated into customer TMS, WMS, or ERP environments via a structured data integration layer, and the company explicitly partners with TMS providers to facilitate embedded deployments.

The business model is enterprise SaaS with individually tailored contracts: pricing can be structured as a transactional fee, a contractual arrangement, or a licensing fee, with multi-year contract cadences and custom terms based on implementation level, integration depth, and feature set. Go-to-market is consultative and demo-driven via the mabdpro.com website, targeting retail suppliers and vendors operating in the US market. The company is very small (1-10 employees), is not venture-backed, and has not disclosed revenue, funding, named customers, or management team details.

Core offering

Retail Compliance Technology sells MABD Pro, a web-hosted predictive analytics SaaS platform that evaluates carriers, service types, ship date options, and retailer-specific compliance rules to identify the optimal combination that will deliver LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) retail shipments on or before a retailer's Must Arrive By Date (MABD). The product outputs a 1–10 probability-of-success "Power Ranking" for each shipping option and supports proactive P.O. integrity auditing through delivery, including in-gate stamp images, to reduce chargebacks and improve supplier scorecard ratings.

Product overview

MABD Pro is a single unified product offering—a cloud-based predictive analytics platform for retail LTL shipment compliance. The platform analyzes Must Arrive By Date (MABD) requirements, carrier performance data, transit times, and retailer-specific compliance rules to calculate optimal ship dates. Users input the MABD, inventory availability, and destination, then receive ranked ship date recommendations with probability-of-success scores for each carrier and service type combination. The product can operate as a standalone web application or integrate with existing TMS, WMS, or ERP systems.

Products and services

• MABD Pro A cloud-based predictive analytics SaaS platform that helps manufacturers, distributors, and vendors ensure Must Arrive By Date (MABD) Purchase Order Compliance for retail Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) shipments. Users enter the MABD, inventory availability, and origin/destination, select a preloaded retailer compliance profile, and receive ranked ship date recommendations across carriers and service types, each scored with a 1–10 probability-of-success Power Ranking. It improves scorecard ratings, reduces chargebacks, lowers freight costs by identifying when standard LTL suffices, and can run standalone or be integrated with existing TMS, WMS, or ERP systems.

Broad incumbents

• MercuryGate International: MercuryGate is a major multimodal TMS platform used by shippers and 3PLs; while broader than MABD Pro, it competes for the same transportation planning budget and addresses ship-date and carrier selection decisions relevant to retail LTL compliance.
• Descartes Systems Group: Descartes provides logistics technology including transportation management, routing, and customs compliance used by shippers and LSPs; overlapping with MABD Pro in carrier-aware shipment planning and TMS-grade compliance features.
• Manhattan Active TM: Manhattan's TMS serves retailers and suppliers with planning, execution, and visibility features that overlap with MABD Pro's retail ship-date optimization use cases, integrated with Manhattan's broader WMS/OMS platform.
• Blue Yonder (formerly JDA) Transportation Management: Blue Yonder offers an enterprise TMS that includes shipment planning, carrier selection, and compliance visibility for retail and CPG shippers — directly overlapping with the ship-date / compliance optimization MABD Pro targets within a much larger supply-chain suite.
• Oracle Transportation Management (OTM): Oracle OTM is a leading enterprise TMS that handles transportation planning, execution, and compliance for large shippers including retail suppliers — broadly comparable to MABD Pro's domain but as part of a much larger Oracle SCM stack.
• Coupa (Trade & Transportation, formerly LLamasoft): Coupa's supply chain and trade solutions (including the former LLamasoft and TradeGo road offerings) address transportation decisions and compliance for shippers, putting it in the same enterprise procurement-of-supply-chain-software conversation as MABD Pro.

Emerging players

• FourKites: FourKites is a supply-chain visibility platform providing real-time tracking, ETAs, and yard / appointment scheduling for shippers; its predictive ETA capability intersects with MABD Pro's predictive on-time analytics for retail LTL shipments.
• project44: project44 is a major supply-chain visibility and orchestration platform offering multi-carrier tracking, ETAs, and API-based integration with TMS/WMS systems — comparable to MABD Pro on multi-carrier, integration-driven design for shippers.
• oTMS: oTMS is a cloud TMS focused on shippers and their carriers with multi-modal planning, execution, and analytics; a closer mid-market comparator to MABD Pro on ship-date and compliance analytics for domestic LTL traffic.
• Alpega (tx-on) TMS: Alpega provides TMS and transport execution software for shippers and LSPs across Europe and growing markets, with carrier selection and shipment compliance features that overlap functionally with MABD Pro's ship-date decision support.
