Primary discovery session with Ted Glickley, CFO and primary engagement contact. Covered company structure, technology stack, pain points across all divisions, vendor history, and strategic concerns.

Key Findings
  • ›Meiborg has three active divisions: Asset-Based Trucking (largest, ~5–6x brokerage), Brokerage, and Warehousing Services/Repair Business (Enterprises entity)
  • ›McLeod TMS is on-premise with two databases — TMS 1 (main operations) and TMS 3 (Enterprises/repair) — creating routing complexity for any automation
  • ›Google Workspace is the email platform (not Exchange), which simplifies AI email agent integration
  • ›Ted's primary strategic concern is vendor sprawl — too many point solutions without coordinated oversight
  • ›Mode AI attempted AP invoice automation and withdrew when they encountered the two-database routing problem
  • ›Regulis AI is active for AR cash application (2+ months, $2K upfront + $950/mo); email access was the initial blocker, now resolved by FAI. No working McLeod integration delivered as of March 2026.
  • ›HappyRobot is live in brokerage handling carrier calls; Ted views it as a success
  • ›Zach (owner/president) is the ultimate decision-maker; Ted manages day-to-day AI vendor relationships
  • ›Mike Houston manages fleet operations and employs 7–8 overseas workers for data entry tasks
  • ›Melissa Kiely handles all AR remittance processing — daily manual work across four document formats
Notable Quotes

"My biggest concern is that we end up with five different AI vendors and nobody owns the end-to-end process. I need someone to be the quarterback."

Ted Glickley·On vendor sprawl risk

"Mode AI came in, looked at the two-database problem, and just said they couldn't do it. That was frustrating."

Ted Glickley·On Mode AI AP failure

"Melissa handles the remittances. It's a daily thing — she's pulling PDFs, Excel files, emails — all different formats. It's a lot of manual work."
