Shipper's Declaration software: from inspection to signed DGD in one flow

The Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods is where paperwork errors become rejections. Airlines and ground handlers check the DGD against the physical shipment, and a transcription slip — a digit off in the UN number, a shipping name that does not match the SDS, a missing packing group — is one of the most common reasons dangerous goods get refused at acceptance. Most declaration software solves the formatting; the data still gets typed in by hand.

DG Inspector closes that gap by generating the declaration from the inspection. The AI reads the shipment's documents and package, locks the identity (UN number, proper shipping name, hazard class, packing group), verifies compliance against the regulation for the transport mode, and then fills the DGD with exactly the data it verified. What was inspected is what gets declared.

IATA column format, generated correctly

For air shipments the platform produces the official IATA column-format Declaration, with the nature-and-quantity columns, packing instruction and authorization fields populated from the inspection result. If you have ever wondered what each box means, our guide on how to read a Shipper's Declaration walks the form field by field.

Digital signatures, gated by certification

Declarations are signed digitally inside the product — and signing is deliberately gated: only users with a valid IATA or 49 CFR certification on file can sign. Uncertified accounts see a certification-required state instead of a signature pad. Every signed document carries its audit trail, and recipients can verify a result's authenticity on a public verification page.

49 CFR shipping papers included

US ground shipments get the same treatment: shipping papers generated from the verified inspection data, consistent with the 49 CFR compliance checklist. One inspection, both documents, no re-entry.

Honest scope

DG Inspector generates and signs declarations for shipments it inspected — that link is the point. It is not a standalone form-filler for arbitrary unverified data, and it does not replace the trained, certified person who takes responsibility for the shipment. It removes the transcription layer where errors breed.
