How regulatory compliance works in MyTower​

Business challenges addressed​

  • Emerging regulations such as EUDR, CBAM, Forced Labor and future supply chain due diligence rules require data collection beyond traditional customs fields.

  • Compliance data often sits with suppliers, brokers, customers, internal markets or specialized systems.

  • Companies need traceability between incoming commodities, production, shipments and regulatory declarations.

  • Documents, statements and evidence must be archived, governed and distributed to customers or authorities.

  • Manual email-based processes do not scale to millions of transactions or large supplier networks.

Capabilities across the regulatory compliance family​

  • Trade Compliance Tracker: Business rules interpret ERP movements, link incoming commodities to production and trigger document or statement creation.
  • Trade Compliance Portal: External collaboration workspace for suppliers, brokers, customers and traders to submit or consult compliance data.
  • Compliance document lifecycle: Create, collect, archive and distribute compliance documents with audit trail.
  • Government system submission: Integration patterns for automated submission to national trade compliance or EU single window systems.
  • Customer portal: Publish compliance documentation or statements to customers with controlled visibility and notifications.
  • EUDR context: Due diligence statement creation, geolocation data, DDS linking, aggregation, publication and customer consultation.
  • CBAM context: Framework to collect embedded emissions data, supplier evidence and reporting elements for regulated imports.
  • Forced Labor and future regulations: Extensible model for document collection, traceability, partner collaboration and reporting.
  • Quality controls: Coherence checks between ERP data, reported compliance data and required documents.
  • Compliance analytics: KPIs on collection progress, missing data, submitted statements and exception workloads.

Typical workflow​

  1. Receive ERP/TMS/WMS transactions and relevant master data.
  2. Apply business rules to identify regulated flows and required compliance documents or statements.
  3. Trigger data collection through portal requests to suppliers, brokers, markets or internal teams.
  4. Validate coherence, completeness and document evidence.
  5. Submit to authorities where relevant or publish to customers through controlled portal access.
  6. Monitor progress and exceptions through dashboards and audit trail.
