I'm excited to share some big news! Yesterday, June 4th, XBE and BCMI officially merged, creating what I believe will be the most comprehensive platform for our industry. I wanted to reach out personally to share what this means for you and why I'm so energized about our future together.
Why This Makes Sense
Nearly half of you work in ready-mixed concrete, and you've been asking us for years to expand our capabilities in that space. BCMI is the gold standard for ready-mix dispatch and operations—they've built exactly what you've been asking for. Meanwhile, BCMI's customers have been pushing them to better support aggregates, asphalt, and cement. That's where we excel. Plus, a few customers work with both XBE and BCMI already, and they pushed us to integrate the platforms to automate raw material inventory management. We’ve already built that integrated feature, and it’s amazing.
When Craig Yeack (BCMI's founder) and I started talking, it became crystal clear: there's virtually no product overlap between us, but tremendous opportunity to create value by working together. We're not competitors who need to eliminate redundancies—we're complementary partners who can offer you a complete solution.
What Stays the Same
Nothing changes for you right now. You'll keep working with the same software and people you know and trust. We're not forcing any changes or migrations.
The XBE brand isn't going anywhere. Neither is BCMI. We're keeping our names, our products, and our teams intact. Think of this as adding to your toolkit, not replacing it.
What Gets Better
Here's where it gets exciting. Together, we we will be able to offer:
- Complete material coverage: Ready-mix, asphalt, aggregates, cement—all in one integrated ecosystem
- End-to-end visibility: From raw materials through logistics to the construction site
- Unified business operations: Sales, operations, and finance working from the same real-time data
- Accelerated AI development: Our combined resources mean we can deliver intelligent features faster than ever
For those of you in ready-mix, you'll have access to BCMI's industry-leading dispatch platform when you're ready. For everyone, we'll be building new integrated capabilities that leverage both platforms' strengths.
Our Shared Values
What convinced me this was the right move wasn't just the product fit—it was the cultural alignment. Like us, BCMI is:
- Obsessed with customer success
- Committed to open APIs and integrations
- Focused on long-term value, not short-term gains
- Believers in empowering producers with better technology
Craig will be serving as President of BCMI within our combined organization, and I couldn't be more pleased to have him as a partner. His team brings deep expertise and a track record of innovation that will benefit all of us.
Looking Ahead
We'll be hosting a Summer customer meeting in September 2025, and I hope to see many of you there. It'll be a chance to share our integrated roadmap and, more importantly, to hear directly from you about your priorities.
In the meantime, it's business as usual—with the added confidence that we're building something even more powerful for the future. We're not just bringing together two companies; we're uniting all the good you rely on today with the great possibilities ahead.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. I'm more excited than ever about what we can accomplish together.
Best regards,
Sean Devine
Founder & CEO, XBE
