Hazardous materials are an important component of freight and the economy. However, they possess unique risks that necessitate compliance with transportation safety regulations. Shippers, carriers, freight forwarders, and many others in the supply chain are responsible for hazardous materials compliance before, during, and after transportation. Verifying compliance in the supply chain, when freight moves between modes, is often a manual and inconsistent process that can lead to delays, fines and expenses, and loss of revenue. PlacardPass is a SaaS solution that automates compliance for hazardous materials transportation. Our service combines digital and observable information to rapidly verify compliance and provide compliance information before transportation or anywhere in the supply chain. Organizations can build into their IT systems, gate operations, or logistics software, business logic that ensures hazardous material shipments are compliant with the most current regulations. This automated service can help reduce gate times and increase operational efficiency by eliminating the need for manual inspection, identification, or verification of placards and marks.
