Craters & Freighters strengthens compliant dangerous goods shipping across 30+ locations using DGIS software to streamline hazmat operations and reduce risk.
GOLDEN, CO, UNITED STATES, January 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Craters & Freighters, the premier provider of custom crating, packaging, and shipping solutions has successfully scaled its dangerous goods (DG) shipping capabilities across 30+ locations by implementing DGIS, a powerful SaaS hazmat shipping software powered by DGeo (formerly known as Labelmaster Software).
The partnership transformed the company’s approach to transporting hazardous materials, turning what was once a complex compliance challenge into a competitive advantage.
Serving demanding industries including aerospace, medical equipment, biotechnology, telecommunications, and fine art, Craters & Freighters handles shipments that require exceptional care and expertise, ranging from lithium batteries and e-bikes to chemicals and fragile, high-value equipment.
“Every job starts with an estimate,” said Brad Hermanns, Director of Operations at Craters & Freighters Phoenix. “DGIS lets me quickly assess packaging requirements, regulatory limits, and transport mode specifics, all in one place. I don’t need to flip through IATA or IMDG manuals to provide an accurate quote.”
Our customers rely on us because their shipping needs are anything but standard,” said Mark Giraldi, Executive Vice President at Craters & Freighters. “When we first began shipping dangerous goods, we had very little experience with hazardous materials. We needed a reliable solution that would ensure our documentation was correct and every shipment was handled properly from start to finish.”
AUTOMATING HAZMAT SHIPPING OPERATIONS
DGIS provides automated guidance, real-time shipment validation, and a centralized regulatory database that has streamlined Craters & Freighters’ hazmat operations from the initial customer interaction through final delivery.
The platform has delivered significant time savings while reducing risk and eliminating roadblocks in the shipping workflow. According to Giraldi, the efficiency gains have been substantial: “DGIS saves us time, money, and opens the door to more business. Without it, DG shipping would take four times longer than it does now.”
SCALING DANGEROUS GOODS SHIPPING CAPABILITIES ACROSS MULTIPLE LOCATIONS
Before implementing DGIS, scaling dangerous goods capabilities across multiple locations presented significant challenges. “Before DGIS, hazmat processes differed across locations,” said Giraldi. “Now, every site delivers safe, compliant shipping that reinforces the Craters & Freighters brand.”
Beyond operational efficiency, DGIS has improved employee training and onboarding. “Teaching someone the regulations is one thing, but physically packing and labeling correctly every time is another,” said Hermanns. “DGIS helps bridge that gap with visuals, documentation and checklists that guide the process and support audits. And that’s a differentiator for us in the market.”
“It’s a game-changer,” Giraldi concluded. “I wish I had it back when I was managing hazmat for a major airline—it would’ve made life a lot easier.”
Brandon Yost, VP of Software at DGeo agrees on the importance of technology to drive business results. “Craters & Freighters is a perfect example of how the right technology can transform dangerous goods operations from a compliance burden into a business enabler,” said Brandon Yost, VP of Software at DGeo.
“Their success across 30+ locations demonstrates that with intuitive software and comprehensive regulatory support, companies can confidently scale their hazmat capabilities while maintaining the highest safety standards. We’re proud to support their growth.”
