Our Story
PlacardPass, Inc. was founded to help companies become more efficient at conducting hazardous materials compliance inspections (acceptance checks) at intermodal terminals and other cargo exchange points.
We are passionate about hazardous materials transportation safety and want to use technology to help companies make safety and compliance automatic.
Our story begins with an industry-identified need to improve hazardous materials transportation safety and efficiency by automating placard compliance checks that are routinely performed at intermodal gates and facilities. This idea was born out of frustration with their existing manual placard inspection process which has often led to errors or inconsistencies in interpretation causing shipment delays and unsatisfied customers. In this context, the founders of PlacardPass worked with industry to design and develop an innovative solution.
Through this collaboration, various use cases were contemplated including direct customer usage and third-party software integrations. To facilitate these use cases, a software-as-a-service model was conceived, and work began to develop the solution into a viable robust commercial product. In 2022, PlacardPass was founded to deliver this solution and help address today’s complex supply chain challenges.
