Compliance Crawler

What is Compliance Crawler?

• Regulatory Data Crisis Solver. EU CBAM and US FDA FSVP demand granular batch-level evidence of production methods, energy consumption, and safety audits. Manual teams are overwhelmed calculating embedded emissions or verifying facility registrations. The Compliance Crawler sits between your ERP and government portals, automating this data crisis.
• Autonomous Supply Chain Scanner. Ingests Bills of Materials (BOM), commercial invoices, and production logs to map regulatory obligations per SKU. For CBAM, parses energy bills from Tier 2/Tier 3 suppliers to calculate carbon intensity per ton. Creates Digital Twins of compliance profiles mapped to TRACES and ACE XML schemas.
• Regulatory Drift Shield. With 200+ jurisdictions constantly updating non-tariff barriers, a compliant product yesterday may be blocked today. Continuously monitors global regulatory feeds for FDA code or CBAM threshold changes, instantly auditing pending shipments against new rules.
• Scale Without Headcount. Automates the retrieve-verify-file loop, decoupling transaction volume from administrative staff. Firms can scale global footprint without crushing compliance paperwork overhead.

Replaces:

• Endless email chains chasing suppliers for carbon emission data.
• Error-prone Excel models calculating embedded emissions.
• Manual re-keying into TRACES or FDA PNSI portals.
• Manual monitoring of government gazettes for requirement changes.
• Disorganized PDF folders instead of searchable audit trails.

Why Compliance Crawler?

• Mitigate Environmental Levies. CBAM imposes direct costs on carbon-intensive imports. Inaccurate reporting triggers punitive default rates. Provides precise verified data on actual embedded emissions rather than industry averages-protecting margins and ensuring sustainability efforts are recognized.
• Accelerate Border Velocity. FDA Prior Notice errors lead to detention and spoilage. Pre-validates every line item against regulator databases. Ensures MID and product codes match perfectly-facilitating Green Lane treatment and reducing clearance times by 40%.
• Reduce Governance Costs. Companies spend weeks preparing for audits. Automates collection and validation of compliance artifacts, freeing trade compliance officers for strategic risk management rather than data scavenging.
• Audit-Ready Resilience. Under Strict Liability statutes, importers must prove Reasonable Care. Generates immutable Chain of Thought audit trails-logging exactly which documents were used and how calculations were derived for instant recall during inquiries.

How It Works

1. Data Ingestion & Mapping. Integrates with ERP and PLM systems, identifies regulated shipments (steel, aluminum, food, pharma), parses invoices and BOM against jurisdiction requirements (CBAM Sectoral Scope, FDA Product Code).
2. Supply Chain Crawling. Identifies data gaps-missing emissions from an Indian smelter or facility registration from a Mexican packer. Contacts suppliers via secure portal, uses OCR to extract values from returned PDFs.
3. Calculation & Validation. Applies regulatory logic-CBAM direct/indirect emissions per ton, FDA facility verification. Cross-references against commercial documents, flags anomalies for human review.
4. Automated Filing. Formats data into XML/JSON payloads, submits to TRACES or CBP via API, captures acceptance receipts, links to ERP shipment records to close compliance loop.
