Alternative
BorderPro is a self-serve ACE / ACI eManifest platform built for carriers who want to file in minutes — with a free tier, live wait-time data, and native driver apps.
BorderPro is a modern eManifest SaaS that works as an alternative to A&A Contract Customs Brokers for carriers, owner-operators, and dispatch teams that want to self-file ACE and ACI eManifests without a procurement cycle or per-entry brokerage fee. BorderPro is a better fit for carriers who want to handle eManifest filing themselves — faster turnaround, no per-filing brokerage fee, and direct control over dispatch timing. BorderPro complements an A&A brokerage relationship by taking over the filing layer without duplicating the brokerage scope.
5 shipments/month free — enough to run real freight through the system before you pay anything.
Pulled from CBSA and CBP every 5 minutes. Pick the least- congested port before you leave the yard.
Drivers scan PARS/PAPS barcodes, surface status, and stay in sync with dispatch without a web browser.
Barcode generator, AMPS estimator, cost calculator, CARM support, readiness checker — all in the same monthly price.
Pro and Enterprise plans include 24/7 managed-filing support for nights, weekends, and holiday overflow.
A&A is a good fit for shippers and carriers — particularly those concentrated in western Canada — who want a full-service broker with managed filing bundled in, and who value a long-standing brokerage relationship over self-serve tooling.
BorderPro and A&A generally coexist rather than substitute for each other — keep A&A for cargo entry and trade consulting, use BorderPro for the eManifest filing step. Most carriers find that unbundling the filing from the brokerage fee reduces operational cost without changing the broker relationship.
Yes. BorderPro is not a broker — it is the carrier-side eManifest layer. Your A&A brokerage relationship stays exactly where it is. BorderPro simply handles the filing step and PARS/PAPS status tracking.
BorderPro pulls broker cargo feed through standard RNS channels — the integration is at the CBSA level, not broker-specific. Any Canadian broker, including A&A, transmits cargo data in the same protocol.
