Candata ACE/ABI
What it is
Candata ACE/ABI is customs software for US brokers working with ACE/ABI workflows. Its AI inbox takes in emails and documents, pulls out shipment details, and prepares shipment drafts. A licensed customs broker reviews the information before submitting it to ACE/ABI for clearance. The workspace combines multiple tabs with an operations dashboard showing live statuses, exceptions, and work queues. QuickBooks syncs customers, invoices, payments, and reporting, including bank feeds and automated tax workflows. Standards-based APIs can connect rate-shopping, document-management, analytics, and partner systems; the FAQ also mentions EDI feeds for brokers using Descartes or CargoWise for B2B transactions. Candata states that it uses Google Cloud hosting, two-factor authentication, and automatic updates, and claims 99.99% uptime. Its privacy policy says data is encrypted at rest and in transit, with access managed through Google OAuth2 single sign-on. The software is available for macOS and Windows. Pricing is available on request.
