HAZMAT Transport Authorization Software for Field Logistics
Kissflow authorizes a hazardous materials shipment with a manifest, a driver certification and placarding check, a route approval, and an SDS attachment, so a truck carrying regulated cargo doesn't leave the gate on a driver's say-so.
Trusted by energy operators worldwide
A truck carrying a radioactive logging source doesn't leave the yard on a driver's say-so.
Oilfield logistics moves more regulated cargo than most people outside the industry realize: acids for a stimulation job, drilling fluid additives, compressed gases, and sealed radioactive sources for well logging all travel by road under DOT hazmat rules. Each shipment needs a manifest, a driver with current hazmat certification, a vehicle correctly placarded for what it's carrying, a route that avoids restricted areas, and the safety data sheet on hand in case something goes wrong en route. A dispatcher checking this by memory before waving a truck through the gate is one missed certification away from a violation, or worse, an incident with no emergency response information on board.
Kissflow runs hazmat transport authorization as an approval workflow: a shipment and manifest intake that captures what's being moved and how much, a driver certification and vehicle placarding check before dispatch, a route approval step that flags restricted areas, multi-stage authorization with delegation so a shipment isn't held up waiting on one signature, and an SDS and emergency response information attachment that travels with the manifest.
By the time the truck leaves the gate, there's a record of exactly who checked the driver, the route, and the paperwork, and cleared it to move.
Where hazmat transport authorization breaks down at the gate
Driver certification is checked by memory
A dispatcher waves a truck through without confirming the driver's hazmat certification is current.
Placarding gets verified visually, if at all
Nobody checks the placard against the actual manifest before the truck leaves.
Route approval isn't documented
A driver takes whatever route is fastest, with no check against restricted areas or local ordinances.
SDS documentation doesn't travel with the load
The safety data sheet exists somewhere in a file, not necessarily in the cab in case of an incident.
Six modules. Every shipment checked, routed, authorized, and documented before it leaves the gate.
Configure cargo classes, certification requirements, and route rules to your operation.
Shipment and manifest intake
Dispatch submits what's being moved, the quantity, and the hazard class through a structured manifest form.
Driver certification and placarding check
The system confirms the driver's hazmat certification is current and the vehicle is placarded to match the manifest.
Route approval
The proposed route is checked against restricted areas before it's cleared.
Multi-stage authorization with delegation
The shipment clears through the required approval chain, with delegation so it isn't held up on one signature.
SDS and emergency response attachment
The safety data sheet and emergency response information attach to the manifest that travels with the load.
Audit trail and status dashboard
Dispatch and HSE see the status of every shipment in one view, cleared or pending.
From request to system of record in four steps
Submit
Dispatch logs what is being moved, the quantity, and the hazard class on the manifest.
Review
Driver certification and placarding are confirmed against the manifest, and the proposed route is cleared against restricted-area rules before dispatch.
Approve
Multi-stage sign-off authorizes the shipment, so a truck carrying regulated cargo does not leave the gate on a driver's say-so.
Record
The authorization is recorded with the SDS and emergency response information attached to the shipment.
What changes when hazmat transport authorization runs on Kissflow
| Process | Before Kissflow | On Kissflow |
|---|---|---|
| Manifest creation | A paper form filled out at the gate | A structured digital manifest tied to the shipment |
| Driver certification check | Confirmed by memory or a quick glance at a card | Checked against the current certification record |
| Placarding verification | Visual check, if done at all | Verified against the manifest before dispatch |
| Route approval | Whatever route the driver picks | Checked against restricted-area rules before clearance |
| Authorization chain | One signature, sometimes skipped under time pressure | Multi-stage approval with delegation |
| SDS documentation | Filed separately, may not travel with the load | Attached directly to the manifest that goes with the shipment |
Connects to your ERP or logistics system for shipment records; Kissflow doesn't replace your transport management system
Kissflow runs the authorization, certification check, and documentation layer. Your ERP or logistics system stays the system of record for shipment and freight data.

Built for how hazmat shipments actually get cleared at the gate
Certification checked against the record, not memory
A driver's hazmat certification is confirmed current before dispatch, every time.
Route approval that flags restricted areas
A shipment doesn't get cleared on whatever route the driver picks.
SDS travels with the manifest
Emergency response information is attached to the load, not filed separately.
Live in weeks

Governed from day one
Role-based access and a full audit trail on every shipment and authorization.
One view for dispatch and HSE
Every shipment's status is visible in one dashboard, not a gate log.

Rig Move Approval Management System authorizes relocating the rig itself. This app authorizes the regulated transport of hazardous materials and cargo, like chemicals or radioactive logging sources, to and from a site.
Yes. The driver certification and placarding check confirms the certification on record before the shipment is authorized to move.
Yes. Route approval checks the proposed route against your configured restricted-area rules before clearance.
Yes. The SDS and emergency response information attach directly to the manifest that authorizes the shipment.
Whoever you configure, typically dispatch and an HSE or compliance reviewer, with delegation if the primary approver is unavailable.
Configuration and AI-assisted app generation move delivery from a multi-month program to a matter of weeks.
