Hazcheck Toolkits

Dangerous goods data packages and routines for incorporation into cargo booking, handling and planning systems.

Many corporate system developments incorporate Hazcheck Toolkits data and programs to achieve fast, cost-effective implementation and the highest standards of functionality and accuracy.

Hazcheck Toolkits delivers dangerous goods validation functionality in 'building blocks' for integration into existing or developing systems.

Data files are available in Microsoft Access, CSV files or fixed format. Additional fields and formats on request

Toolkits are available via the following methods:-

- web services - web service hosted by Exis or the customer
- a Windows DLL written in C# , for .NET users
- a Windows DLL written in C, for calling from other languages
- Java class files for non-windows applications

For each toolkit a small sample program is provided, with source code, to demonstrate calling the routines. The toolkits are self-contained and do not depend on other third-party products or access to external servers. The C# and Java versions are thread-safe, and can be called from a multi-threaded server application.
