Our management
Gregg Borgeson,
President
Gregg is an industry veteran. He learned
the business at Emery Air Freight, served
as Director of International Air Freight for BAX Global, and then was CEO of

Hellmann in North America, and managed the company as CEO from 1991 to 1999.
Gregg then entered the technology side of the industry, co-founding
QuoteShip.com,
which he later sold to Manhattan Associates (then Logistics.com).
Our service partners
--
Supporting competing systems
costs everyone money -- so Ex Works has established cooperative
relationships with leading technology providers to the trucking companies
who serve the forwarding industry. POD and billing information can
move from the driver or the dispatch office into the internal system used by
the trucker -- and flow through directly to the forwarder, via Ex Works.
Everyone wins.
Outwin & Company
provides a service called OutPort which enables forwarders or airlines to
find a competitive rate and a choice of qualified, compliant trucking
service providers at every airport and seaport in the United States. OutPort
is powered by software licensed from Ex Works. Visit Outwin at www.outwinco.com.
Crown Data Systems, Inc.
is the leading provider of software, EDI and driver mobile data technologies
to the air freight trucking community. Over 110 trucking operations
are utilizing the Company’s Crown Freight Manager (CFM) software for
dispatching, shipment tracking, auto-rating, document imaging and billing.
Crown's trucking company clients can transmit their POD and invoice data
through Ex Works, populating the accounting and tracking systems of
forwarders. Visit Crown at www.crowndatasystems.com
Datatrac
Corporation has been helping shippers, freight forwarders and
delivery service companies grow revenues by maximizing logistics efficiency

Our story
When Gregg was running ASG and Hellmann in the 1980's and 1990's, he took note
of how much effort it took their people to manage billing and PODs with their
trucking networks -- and despite all the labor, how spotty the results were.
These problems were shared by every large forwarder in the industry.
Gregg gained deep understanding of the power of sophisticated Transportation
Management Systems (TMS) when he left forwarding and served as president of
Logistics.com (now Manhattan Associates) almost ten years ago. Those systems
enable large commercial shippers to efficiently manage their transactions with
large LTL and FTL trucking companies, eliminating most of the labor and chaos
that so burdened freight forwarders.
But it was just as clear that those systems simply would not do the job for the
forwarding industry, which depends on a very different population of trucking
companies, uses unique rate structures and faces more intense time pressures.
The forwarding industry needed entirely new technology, designed from scratch
for real-world ground operations at airports and seaports and easily accessible
by thousands of trucking companies of all sizes and levels of technical
sophistication.
From its first days, Ex Works was supported by leaders in our industry who
recognized the importance of the problem we addressed - and wanted a solution. A
broad group of companies, including Panalpina, BAX Global, DHL Global
Forwarding, UTi, and Geo Logistics contributed time and ideas to the design of
our services.
The result of this collaboration of industry specialists is a technology-based
solution that actually works -- because it is built specifically for our
industry by lifelong veterans of our industry.
