NEW PROVIDENCE, NJ --- Advent, Inc., a leader in software development focused on building IT solutions that work, today announced its new release of HazDocs, a central registry for hazardous document management. Addressing the need for shippers and intermodal carriers to simply and securely manage the shipping papers or hazardous declarations of dangerous goods, HazDocs provides a central repository of hazardous declarations that can be accessed via the internet and is available to all member parties in the supply chain.
"The focus on the identification of hazardous materials in transport has become a national concern," said Carl D’Emilio, president of Advent, Inc. "This system solves a longstanding problem of managing and distributing the shipping papers to everyone involved with the cargo."
With the HazDocs network, shippers publish their hazardous documentation one time and securely distribute it to all other companies in the supply chain. Paperwork is reduced and communication is enhanced, all with the ease of a single web-based program.
Advent is currently working with transport companies, shippers and regulatory agencies to establish the system as a global registry to hazardous documents.
"In some situations of a fire or spill, the emergency response teams may not have immediate access to the shipping papers in the truck or train. With HazDocs, authorities will be able to print or view the documents online from the safety of a vehicle or facility with Internet access." Stated Tim Butters, Managing Director of CHEMTREC®.
"We set out to create a document management system and uncovered the benefit HazDocs has in emergency responses to hazardous incidents." said Carl D'Emilio.
Already, Advent, Inc is working with technology and consulting partners in real-life situations to demonstrate the simplicity and power of HazDocs.
