DGC

Compliance paperwork in under 30 minutes, down from 8 hours.

DGC is the dangerous goods compliance platform Mayfly built with Xtreme Freight, a national logistics provider, live since 2023. It turns the compliance knowledge the business had built up moving explosive, flammable and corrosive freight into an operational system.

What changed.

Only figures already published for this project. The standard that lived in a few people’s heads now applies to every load.

How it happened.

The same path every Mayfly project follows: the expertise a company already has, where it stopped scaling, and what was found and built.

01The expertiseWhat the company had

A business that knew how to move dangerous goods safely.

Xtreme Freight knew which placard goes on which load, what can travel together and what every manifest has to show.

That knowledge was the business. It lived in the people who cross-checked every run by hand.

02The limitWhere it stopped scaling

Moving explosive, flammable and corrosive freight leaves no room for a paperwork error.

Every run meant 8 hours of paperwork and manual cross-checking, on paper manifests and phone check-ins.

Three vendors had tried to solve it and had not. Founder Amanda O’Brien needed compliance that could not fail, with zero tolerance for a mismatched load or a wrong placard, and a way to keep that standard as the business grew.

  • 3vendors had tried before

03Find the leverageIdentify · Validate

Validate the compliance logic first.

Before anything was built, the compliance logic was checked against real consignments.

Each regulatory step was mapped, with the points where errors actually happen, and the system was designed around the operator’s day so that adopting it meant less effort, not more.

04Build itDesign · Build · Launch

Make the safest path the fastest one.

The regulations became a guided digital process that catches an error before a load ships, rather than an audit that finds it afterwards.

One system tracks every consignment and enforces each regulatory step. A prompt stops a wrong placard. An alert flags a mismatched load. Supervisors can act before a near miss becomes a hazard, and nothing ships without passing its checks.

05EvolveAfter launch

Built to grow with the ecosystem.

DGC is API-first, so it connects with carriers, warehouses and customers rather than standing alone.

Compliance stays one source of truth as the network around it grows.

The next stage of growth should not be as hard as the last.

Your company has spent years building expertise. Mayfly turns it into something the whole business can scale.
