RICHMOND HILL, Ont. – CrimsonLogic Inc., an international IT solutions provider, has received accreditation from United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to provide Web-based connectivity to the U.S. Automated Commercial Environment.

Company officials say it is the first IT company in Canada to receive ACE accreditation.

When ACE becomes mandatory at all border crossings in 2006, highway carriers will be required to submit truck manifests one hour to 30 minutes (for FAST shipments) to CBP in advance of the arrival of the truck at the U.S. border or face being turned back.

CrimsonLogic will be able to provide connectivity options that will allow highway carriers to submit data directly from a Web-based account or from their own in-house systems.

CrimsonLogic has also recently implemented systems for the ocean carrier market for submission of manifest data to U.S. Customs, Canada Border Services Agency and the Panama Canal authorities. The company also provides Web-based solutions for all supply chain functions including procurement, inventory visibility, freight documentation and customs clearance.
