BorderX - A Smart Service to Declare Priority Shippings
We provide a service to declare shipments of critical goods at times of crisis in order to pass through priority lanes at border crossings. Our system is flexible and easy to set up and is intended to be used to minimize the impact of limited border crossings for the supply chain of critical goods.

75%
Before Today
Severely affected
4. OPPORTUNITY
FUTURETODAY
Trucks faced delays of up to 20 hours
when inner-European borders closed
in March 2020, limiting access to
critically need goods.
Seasonal peaks and heavy truck
transit in tight corridors have been an
issue for years and are dividing
Europe.
1. While COVID-19 vaccines may
become available, they need to reach
their target market in time, even if
new waves of disease lead to closed
borders.
2. Managing the limited capacity of
border crossings fairly is crucial for
keeping the free flow of goods within
the European Union.

7. BORDER AGENT DEMO
Border agents have very limited
time to make decisions on who
to check and who to let pass -
we provide them with exactly
the information they need in an
actionable interface.
This way countries can keep
their borders open for critical
goods to reach their destination,
while minimizing potential for
misuse.
8. CARRIER DEMO
Carriers can make declarations
in the app to access priority
lanes and provide preclearance
if they are part of an eligible
organization.
Their data will be safe and will
only be accessed by authorized
agents when they cross the
border.
