DGeo announced new enhancements to its DGIS hazmat shipping software, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that simplifies and automates hazmat shipping.
The new automated guidance and real-time validation capabilities help businesses optimize shipping operations and costs by identifying simpler, more cost-effective ways to ship dangerous goods (DG), without compromising safety or compliance.
“Every day, companies unknowingly forfeit savings by missing available compliance exemptions, resulting in over-labeled, over-packaged and over-regulated shipments that inflate costs and bottleneck supply chains,” says Brandon Yost, VP of software, DGeo. “DGIS now identifies more cost-effective shipping options across multiple modes while simultaneously guiding warehouse teams through important hazmat compliance requirements.”
Key takeaways:
· The latest DGIS enhancements help users improve their hazmat shipping by automatically determining when a product should be classified as “DG” and when it can be downgraded to “partially regulated” or “exempt” status. By taking advantage of exemptions and not over-declaring shipments within their normal workflow, companies can reduce labeling, packaging and shipping costs, improve supply chain efficiency and expand shipping lane, modal and carrier options.
· DGIS automates compliance across product types and work sites; identifies shipments eligible for DG exemptions; validates shipments for fully regulated compliance; reduces reliance on tribal knowledge or guesswork while maintaining DG compliance; sees the cost of shipping based on different shipping modes (e.g., air, ground, ocean, etc.); and ensures every shipment is right, even without a DG pro on-site.
· DGIS also integrates seamlessly with leading TMS, WMS and ERP systems.
· It also gives integration partners real-time access to DG data and validation and enables third-party logistics (3PL) providers and value-added resellers (VARs) to extend their platforms and drive growth with best-in-class DG functionality.
