BorderConnect website

BorderConnect Inc. is a Canadian software company that provides web-based tools and related services to help highway carriers, customs brokers, and other logistics stakeholders submit cross-border electronic manifest information. This includes **ACE Manifest** for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and **ACI eManifest** for the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).

The company also provides real-time shipment tracking through CBSA’s **Release Notification System (RNS)**, allowing carriers to monitor PARS release statuses and warehouse arrivals.[4][5]

BorderConnect is headquartered in Windsor, Ontario, a major trade hub opposite Detroit, Michigan. It is officially listed by the CBSA as a registered "Internet Connectivity Software" provider.[2]

Products and services

BorderConnect offers a suite of compliance and fleet management tools:

  • ACE / ACI eManifest Web Portal: The company's flagship SaaS product, designed to allow highway carriers to create, submit, and track electronic manifests for US and Canadian customs compliance.[4]
  • RNS–PARS Tracking: A visibility tool utilizing CBSA’s Release Notification System (RNS) to provide real-time status updates for Canadian-bound shipments (PARS), including "Release" and "Exam" notifications.[5]
  • WACM / RNS Arrivals: A specialized tool for sufferance warehouse operators and carriers to transmit the Warehouse Arrival Certification Message (WACM), a mandatory report for bonded freight arriving at inland locations.[10]
  • U.S. In-Bond Manager: A dashboard for creating and managing U.S. In-Bond entries (Type 61, 62, etc.), offering visibility into arrival and export statuses.[11]
  • eManifest Developer API: A REST-based API that allows third-party logistics providers (TMS) and large fleets to integrate ACE/ACI eManifest data directly into their own internal systems.[8]
  • BorderPrint: A service division that produces physical cross-border compliance materials, including PARS/PAPS barcode labels, manifest lead sheets, and driver ID badges.
  • 24/7 Processing Service: A managed service option where carriers send shipment documentation via fax or email to BorderConnect support staff, who then complete the data entry and submission on the carrier's behalf.[12]

History

BorderConnect was founded in 2004 by Daniel Dent. The company originally launched as a service for tracking PARS (Pre-Arrival Review System) shipments before evolving into a comprehensive eManifest submission platform as regulatory requirements for electronic data interchange (EDI) increased in North America.[1][3]
