AI Assist for Trade and Export Compliance

With the increase in global trade regulations, balancing effective screening for restricted, sanctioned, and denied parties without overloading trade compliance resources with ‘false positives’ is essential. AI Assist by Descartes Visual Compliance™ empowers teams to streamline their workflows, enhancing accuracy while reducing manual workload through advanced machine learning.

Reduce False Positives in Denied Party Screening with AI-Powered Efficiency

AI Assist is a cutting-edge solution designed to optimize sanctioned and denied party screening. Leveraging the power of machine learning and artificial intelligence for regulatory compliance, AI Assist integrates seamlessly into the Descartes platform to reduce the volume of ‘false positive’ alerts, allowing your team to focus on high-priority risks.

How AI Assist can benefit you

AI Assist supports your team’s decision-making. Trade compliance teams retain control, using AI insights as a tool to supplement human judgment and manage risk based on their tolerance levels.

  • Identification and Isolation of ‘False Positives’
    AI Assist reviews all denied party screening results, isolating low-quality matches before escalating the remaining results to your compliance team. This triage functionality reduces unnecessary reviews, ensuring your team’s time is spent on relevant issues.
  • Tailored Search TuningEach organization has unique data and risk profiles. AI Assist can be calibrated to different sensitivity levels, tailored to your geographical or departmental needs, and consolidated for easy auditing in the Compliance Manager Workflow (CMW) module which offers flexibility to review lower-threshold hits as needed.
  • Status History TrackingEach cleared hit includes a detailed status history, providing an audit trail that enhances transparency and traceability.

You can’t grow your business if you keep doing manual screening. Descartes Visual Compliance was very easy to integrate into our existing ERP and sales platform. Now we have an automated way to check every order as it comes in. There’s no manual screening and we only have to go in to check when there is a flag.
