“Working with DBE since 2012. They all have been great with training our staff, answering questions, and helping solve issues. The DBE team is great and very patient to work with. They have gone the extra mile to make changes to the program as well as working with the CFE IT department. DBE works well with our other software systems such as estimating programs and Oakland. DBE is constantly making improvements to adapt to the everchanging world we live in. They are a very forward-thinking company and always looking out for their customers. I am excited to continue working with them for years to come.”

Hull Co-op Association

“We’re a division of a Co-op. We needed good lumberyard software and the ability to get daily tickets into the Co-op’s accounting software without manual entry. DBE provided us solutions to do both. Training was fantastic, they came on site and made sure we got it right.”

About DBE

Data Business Equipment, Inc. (DBE) was founded in 1968 by two banking industry service technicians that believed they could provide a better customer service experience to Financial Institutions in Iowa. In the early 1980’s, we took our customer service mindset beyond community banking to include supporting lumber yards and local home center and building supply stores.

We believed both banking and local building supply centers were the foundation of our communities. Both helping our towns thrive through their roles in local economies and building of residential and commercial infrastructure. Over 55 years later, DBE is still independently owned and focused on reliable customer service. DBE is headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa supporting local businesses in the Midwest and South.
