PlacardPass is a cloud-based software service that enables clients to remotely and accurately validate hazardous material placards and marks on transport vehicles entering their premises. The service creates a contactless process from beginning to end — including data intake, interpretation, and reporting. The service can reduce the need for physical compliance inspections and improve gate throughput. Regardless of your organization’s existing process and systems, PlacardPass can be configured to meet your needs.

PlacardPass is an invaluable tool for shippers, carriers, and receivers — and for hazmat personnel at all points between. Users can enter or send hazardous materials shipping information, request processing or verification, or distribute or receive returned compliance reporting — all through their PlacardPass interface. Domestic and international rules and regulations are kept up to date and PlacardPass maintains all of that information digitally. This means PlacardPass users don’t have to keep constant tabs on rule changes or drag out the binders to cross reference and interpret when they encounter a less common combination of placards and marks entering their gate.

The PlacardPass remote, contactless process creates a work environment that is more secure and safer for employees — all while boosting operational efficiency. Eliminating the need for in-person inspection, the automated service quickly moves through the steps of data intake, interpretation, verification, and reporting. Gate times are reduced, as are opportunities for human error. Shippers and carriers can also use the service to pre-check compliance after loading or any time before arriving at the gate. This ensures consistency in the application of the regulations and reduces transportation delays related to needed corrections.

Our comprehensive compliance service is delivered through a flexible and easy-to-use SaaS and API. PlacardPass uses REST, a standard communication language that runs quickly and allows developers to explore a variety of customization options for their businesses. The service can be built into any organization’s IT systems, gate operations or logistics software, or PlacardPass can simply be used through a secure, web-accessible interface. With either option, PlacardPass is designed to work quickly and to deliver the concise set of data an organization needs to manage compliance efficiently.
