Add-ons
Platform — Add-ons are optional modules that extend the core for a specific operator's needs, attaching to the same spine without disturbing what runs today.
All modulesBORA Systems is a ferry operations platform built in Tallinn, Estonia — 33 modules across 6 functional categories, each on its own microservice with a local API. Certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and GDPR-compliant. As of 2026, in daily service across three regions: the Baltic, the Channel Islands and the Persian Gulf.
What does it do?
Add-ons are the optional modules an operator adopts when its operation needs something beyond the core — a loyalty programme, a government-reporting connector, an integration with a specific local system. They attach to the same core and API as everything else.
Because an add-on uses the same spine, adding one does not disturb what already runs: it extends the system rather than forking it.
How does it work?
Choose
An operator adopts only the add-ons its operation calls for.
Attach
An add-on connects to the same core and local API.
Extend
It extends the running system rather than replacing parts of it.
Grow
New add-ons attach later without disturbing today's setup.
What does it connect to?
Each add-on reads and writes through the same local API as the core modules.
Add-ons connect to an operator's specific external systems — named per deployment, not a vague 'anything'.
What are its limits?
What it deliberately does not do:
- An add-on extends the core; it is not a way to replace a core module's role.
- Availability depends on the deployment — not every add-on is offered for every operator.
Frequently asked questions
What is an add-on?
An add-on in BORA is an optional module a ferry operator adopts when its operation needs something beyond the core, such as a loyalty programme, a government-reporting connector or an integration with a specific local system. It uses the same core and local API.
Does adding one disturb the running system?
No. A BORA add-on attaches to the same core and local API as every other module, so it extends the ferry operator's running system rather than forking or replacing parts of it, and new add-ons can attach later.
Are all add-ons available to everyone?
No. Which BORA add-ons are offered depends on the deployment, so not every add-on is available to every ferry operator. An operator adopts only the add-ons its operation calls for.
