Compliance documentation

Which products need which documents, and which are missing evidence.

Claro links category rules to the certificates and datasheets your suppliers already sent, so compliance readiness is a live view rather than a spreadsheet someone maintained last quarter.

Why it matters

Compliance fails on missing evidence, not missing intent

Compliance rarely fails because a team decided to ignore a rule. It fails because the evidence exists somewhere — in an inbox, a shared drive, a supplier portal — and nothing connects it to the product it covers. So the question "can we sell this" gets answered by whoever has been there longest, and the answer is re-derived every time it is asked. Claro turns that into a standing view: what each category requires, what evidence is actually on file, which documents have expired, and where two sources disagree. The judgement stays with your team. What changes is that they are looking at the whole picture instead of assembling it first.

The problem

Why compliance readiness lives in a spreadsheet nobody trusts

Certificates and declarations live in inboxes and drives, unlinked to the products they cover.

Nobody can answer "which products are missing evidence" without rebuilding the answer by hand.

An expired document looks exactly like a valid one until someone checks.

FAQ

Compliance documentation: common questions

Does Claro decide whether a product is compliant?

No, and this is deliberate. Claro shows which documents a category requires, which evidence is on file, and where the gaps and conflicts are. Deterministic checks and human review control the final call — an AI recommendation is never presented as a legal determination.

Where do the category rules come from?

From you, or from the standard your category already follows. The rules are an input you control, not a judgement embedded in the product.

What happens when a certificate covers several products?

It is linked to each product it covers, so one document can evidence many records without being duplicated, and an expiry is visible everywhere it applies.

Can it read scanned certificates?

Yes. Scanned and multilingual documents are read and linked like any other source, with the extracted values carrying a reference back to the page they came from.

Is this legal advice?

No. Claro is a data tool. It organises evidence and surfaces gaps so your compliance team can make decisions faster — it does not make them, and it is not a substitute for professional advice.
