Growth via acquisition Epes Logistics has expanded its footprint with the acquisition of A Cooper Logistics in May 2022, signaling a strategy to accelerate growth, expand services, and increase cross-border and regional capacity which creates opportunities to cross-sell integrated transportation management solutions.

Mid market scale With 201-500 employees and revenue in the 50M to 100M range, Epes sits in a mid-market niche where there is high potential for cost-to-serve optimization, analytics-driven freight management, and scalable TMS implementations for mid-sized shippers seeking reliability and measurable value.

Cross border expertise Epes specializes in LTL, truckload, and cross-border movements, indicating an opportunity to upsell robust cross-border compliance, border clearance, and freight analytics services to importers/exporters and manufacturers engaging North American trade.

Analytics driven The emphasis on customized management reports, freight analyses, carrier transit analyses, and detailed invoice reports positions Epes as a fit for advanced business intelligence offerings, data visualization, and decision-support tools to improve cost and service visibility.

Tech enabled operations Adoption of modern tech stack including iCIMS, Paycom, Power BI, Azure AD and other digital tools suggests readiness for integrated software solutions such as vendor management, payroll and benefits optimization, customer portals, and vendor scorecarding to streamline operations and enhance customer experience.
