CrimsonLogic, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PSA International, has announced a strategic alliance with Newage Software & Solutions (Newage).
The cooperation incorporates CrimsonLogic’s regulatory filing software, Advance Commercial Information eManifest House Bill (ACI eHBL), into the unique NewageNXT freight management ERP platform.
This partnership, which went live last month, seeks to streamline customs compliance for freight forwarders across North America, beginning in Canada.

The system is designed to streamline customs declaration processes by removing the need for duplicating data entry between freight operations and customs compliance. It works by transmitting eHBL data directly to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), aiming to save time, minimise errors, and reduce compliance costs.
PSA noted that the automated system also reduces human error, resulting in more accurate filings and allowing customers to avoid penalties and delays.
The interface finally offers real-time updates on shipment and customs clearance statuses, which could support more informed decision-making and efficient resource allocation.

Siddharth Priyesh, CrimsonLogic’s Vice President & Head of the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Africa & South Asia, stated: “We are thrilled to partner Newage to deliver an integrated solution for customs compliance.
“The integration of CrimsonLogic’s ACI eHBL, will bring unprecedented convenience to their customers, saving time and costs while enhancing revenue potential. We look forward to expanding this partnership to serve a broader global audience.”
In October, PSA Singapore launched the PSA Supply Chain Hub @ Tuas (PSCH) as part of its strategic development in Tuas Port.
