TransCore adds ACE compliance to Cnd logistics service

TORONTO — TransCore, which operates the largest North American freight matching logistics service, has added Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) integration to its Link OpsCenter product, now a part of TransCore’s 3sixty Operations Management.

Within OpsCenter, Canadian users can search for freight, import load information, and prepare all necessary documentation, including their ACE electronic cargo manifests which the system intuitively completes, eliminating the time-intensive need to re-key all data, the company says.

TransCore added the feature in response to the January 25, 2007, CBP implementation date requiring informed compliance at land border ports in Washington and North Dakota. CBP’s system will be phased in with full compliance expected as early as April 26, 2007.

“As Canadian fleets scramble to respond to the operational impact of ACE, products that relieve the burden and automate a process suddenly become critical,” explained Claudia Milicevic, TransCore’s Link Logistics general manager. “TransCore condensed multiple processes across systems into a single step. Now, freight-matching customers can remain focused on moving freight not bogged down filling out forms.”

TransCore accelerated OpsCenter’s integration for ACE compliance so customers could easily transition to the U.S. mandated requirements to elevate security across land-based ports of entry. Previously, TransCore provided ACE compliance but only as a stand-alone capability.
