Comparison
Canadian eManifest SaaS, established in the carrier mid-market.
BorderConnect is one of the longest-running Canadian eManifest software providers. Their platform handles ACE, ACI, PARS, and PAPS filing and is widely used by small and mid-size Canadian carriers. The product is web-based and focused on the core filing workflow — manifests, trip numbers, lead sheets, and status updates. BorderConnect has a well-understood reputation for reliability in the core filing flow and is a common reference point when carriers evaluate eManifest tooling.

BorderConnect is a good fit for established Canadian carriers who are already familiar with traditional web-based eManifest workflows and are primarily evaluating on filing reliability for ACE and ACI. Fleets that prefer a narrow, purpose-built filing tool over a broader operational platform often land here.
BorderPro is a better fit for carriers who want a free tier to start, modern mobile apps for drivers, built-in live wait-time data, managed-filing support when a dispatcher is overloaded, and tools beyond the core filing — barcode generator, AMPS estimator, readiness checker, CARM support — in one monthly price. Owner-operators and small fleets typically save meaningful time and money by switching.
Carriers migrating from BorderConnect can bring over drivers, trailers, and conveyances via CSV import — most teams finish the setup in under an hour. Support can assist with the transition at no charge, including side-by-side running during the cutover week.
Yes. BorderPro is a direct filer for both ACE eManifest (US CBP) and ACI eManifest (Canada CBSA), using the same official transmission channels every compliant provider uses. Filing reliability is not differentiated at the protocol level — the differences are in UX, pricing, and ancillary tooling.
Yes. BorderPro accepts CSV imports for carriers, drivers, trailers, and conveyances. Our team can help with the initial migration and run side-by-side filings during the cutover week so you can verify match before turning BorderConnect off.
