Frequently asked questions
Yes. Upload your full order list as one .xlsx workbook (up to 25,000 rows); the free sample analyses the first 25 eligible, non-duplicate items at no charge and with no obligation. We use it to demonstrate the capability of this tool, show you the differences it makes to your daily work, and prepare a quotation for integration into your processes.
Only two fields per row: the supplier name and the item description. Buyer identity, pricing, quantities, and contact details are not required for screening and are not extracted for it.
Uploaded files are stored and processed on infrastructure located in the European Union and are automatically deleted after 90 days.
Every submission is reviewed by a competent reviewer before results are released. Items that cannot be determined with confidence are labelled FOR HUMAN REVIEW, and results are not released while any item remains outstanding.
No. The tool tells you which items are likely to need an SDoC or Material Declaration so you can prioritise requests. It does not produce or replace those documents, and it is decision-support rather than a compliance approval.
Each classification result includes a confidence level. This gives users a clear indication of the reliability of the result and helps them prioritise items that may require additional verification, supporting a proportionate and risk-based quality review process.
Excel workbooks (.xlsx) only, up to 15 MB and 25,000 populated rows, prepared with the official IHM CAT input template: one worksheet named Input with exactly the two headings Article description and Supplier Name. Other formats, macro-enabled workbooks (.xlsm and similar), formulas, links and embedded objects are rejected.
