DGeo, Labelmaster’s Dangerous Goods (DG) Packaging, Technology and Services Division, announced new enhancements to its DGIS hazmat shipping software, a powerful 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 DG, without compromising safety or compliance.
Formerly part of Labelmaster Software and now under DGeo, DGIS is used by many of the world’s leading DG shippers, including some of the largest airlines and automotive OEMs, to streamline every step of hazmat transportation and compliance. From classification and packaging to labeling and documentation, DGIS provides guidance across all transportation modes. Built to support organizations of all sizes and industries, DGIS ensures regulatory accuracy and identifies shipments eligible for DG exemptions while enabling faster shipments with fewer manual processes.
Smarter shipping through enhanced capabilities
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 was originally built to enhance companies’ DG shipping compliance, which remains a core product function. At the same time, DGIS has added powerful new functionality designed to unlock unprecedented financial impact for businesses shipping DG.
“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, vice president of software, DGeo. “DGIS now identifies more cost-effective shipping options across multiple modes while simultaneously guiding warehouse teams through important hazmat compliance requirements.”
What sets DGIS apart
DGIS helps companies boost compliance, operational efficiency and their bottom line by allowing them to:
- Automate compliance across product types and work sites
- Identify shipments eligible for DG exemptions
- Validate shipments for fully regulated compliance
- Reduce reliance on tribal knowledge or guesswork while maintaining DG compliance
- See the cost of shipping based on different shipping modes (e.g., air, ground, ocean, etc.)
- Ensure every shipment is right, even without a DG pro on-site
DGIS also integrates seamlessly with leading TMS, WMS, and ERP systems. It 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.
Yost adds, “As regulatory and supply chain pressures grow, DGIS helps organizations – from global leaders in aviation and aerospace, chemical, automotive and more to small eCommerce businesses – to reduce risk, improve efficiency, and make DG shipping as simple as possible. Our customers choose DGIS because they trust it. They’ve seen firsthand how it streamlines hazmat shipping with automated guidance, flexible integration and real-time validation, ensuring consistent compliance across their teams and locations.”
