Order management & logistics · Chemicals & coatings
Ship every hazmat order compliant and on time.
Orders arrive by email and EDI, hand-keyed into the ERP while UN numbers get looked up against the clock. One wrong shipping name and the load is refused.
The reality
Shipping is a classification problem.
Every drum of solvent or resin carries a dangerous-goods identity — UN number, hazard class, packing group, proper shipping name — and it has to match the SDS, the label, the placard, and the carrier's manifest exactly. The desk is cross-checking the 49 CFR table against the order line while a truck idles in the yard.
The operator owns the order from intake to dispatch. It reads the PO, validates the DG classification against the product's SDS, generates the SLI and bill of lading, books the carrier on the right equipment, and confirms pickup — so nothing ships on a guess.
