Livingston International Tracker is intended to allow truckers to check the Customs status of shipments between the U.S. and Canada on a mobile or tablet.
The trade compliance and third party logistics services provider Livingston International has released a new app for cross-border trade specifically designed for carriers.
The Livingston International Tracker app is intended to help truck drivers delivering commercial shipments across the Canada-U.S. border to reduce their wait time at Customs. It gives drivers information on the clearance status of their shipments, with both the U.S. Pre-Arrival Processing System (PAPS) and the Canadian Pre-Arrival Review System (PARS) optimized for mobile on the app.
Livingston’s Speed Scanner functionality enables truck drivers to use a barcode scan to check shipment status. For shipments without a barcode, the driver keys in the shipment information to find the shipment status, eliminating the need to phone a dispatcher and wait for them to check the status.
The app also features “set and forget” functionality for shipments entering Canada, so truckers can get PARS shipment alerts, or receive shipments updates by text or email.
The Tracker app is available for download on iOS, Android and Blackberry. Livingston said it has also updated their tracking web pages so they are fully optimized for mobile.
