The app was specially designed for carriers, providing information needed on the clearance status of shipments. The app optimizes both the U.S. Pre-Arrival Processing System (PAPS) and Canadian Pre-Arrival Review System (PARS) for mobile use.

For shipments without a barcode, the driver keys in the shipment information to find the status. There is no need to phone a dispatcher for that purpose, Livingston said.
