DIGITAL SOLUTION FOR DANGEROUS GOODS MANAGEMENT

Labelmaster has announced a new partnership to provide a seamless solution for managing the dangerous goods shipping process and maintaining compliance with the latest regulations. The initiative is being achieved by the integration of Labelmaster’s Dangerous Goods Information System (DGIS) with Creative Logistics Solutions (CLS), a leading provider of enterprise multi-carrier shipping software.

Malcolm Johnson, Vice President, Strategy and Business Development, Creative Logistics Solutions outlines how the new process works and the benefits: “In today’s dynamic and competitive supply chain market, shippers need a seamless, end-to-end shipping solution that drives operational efficiencies and provides peace of mind that shipments are compliant with the latest regulations. Integrating DGIS enables organisations to automate and streamline their shipping processes by providing all of the necessary DG shipping forms and rules within the InfoShip/Vx platform. This eliminates the need for companies to decouple DG shipping from their traditional shipping workflows and processes, and the need for them to learn and manage multiple user interfaces.”

In practical terms, the integration of DGIS into the CLS InfoShip/Vx shipping software means that users will be able to automatically create compliant shipping documents and labels within a single interface.

Importantly, DGIS then fully validates the dangerous goods data against the latest rules and regulations, thereby reducing the risk of a rejected shipment or fines due to noncompliance.

This seamless integration process eliminates the need for any participant in the dangerous goods supply chain to have to re-enter data into multiple systems and accordingly eliminates a significant area of risk.
