Compliance built into
operations, not bolted on.
Freight compliance isn't a checkbox exercise. It's 14 frameworks, 187 controls, and a filing deadline that runs on top of every shipment. PulseCargo™ maps every operational event to its regulatory obligation — and surfaces gaps before an auditor does.
Every compliance obligation, mapped to operations.
Compliance in freight spans far more than data privacy. PulseCargo covers the full surface area freight forwarders are actually responsible for.
Customs & Trade
Filing requirements, tariff classification tracking, AMS/ISF submission status, and country-of-origin documentation — linked directly to shipment records.
Trade Documentation
Bill of lading completeness, commercial invoice accuracy, packing list verification, certificate of origin validity. Document controls that flag gaps at creation, not at customs.
Carrier Certification
Track carrier certification status (IATA, DG handling, temperature chain) across your partner network. Alert on expiring credentials before a shipment is booked.
Sanctions Screening
Alignment controls for OFAC, EU, and UN sanctions list screening integrated with your shipment and counterparty data. Surface screening gaps before booking confirmation.
ESG & Environmental
ISO 14083-aligned CO2 calculation controls, emission disclosure requirements, and Scope 3 reporting obligations mapped to your freight activity. Built to link with the Sustainability module.
Data Governance
Access control evidence, data retention tracking, and privacy regulation alignment controls — with Coming Soon flags where certification is pending attorney sign-off.
Evidence pulled automatically. Not manually assembled.
Twelve integration probes connect to the systems that already hold compliance evidence, and pull it into the control record — timestamped, linked, and audit-ready.
From gap detected to control closed.
Monitor
Integration probes run continuously. Control status updates when new evidence arrives or when evidence ages out of validity windows.
Collect
Evidence is automatically linked to the controls it satisfies. Manual uploads supplement where automated probes can't reach.
Assess
Assigned owners review evidence and record a pass/fail determination with notes. Assessment expiry dates trigger reassignment on cadence.
Export
Audit packages export per-framework — control status, evidence links, assessment notes, gap log — formatted for auditor review.
Every document linked to the control it satisfies.
Evidence isn't a folder of PDFs. Each piece of evidence in PulseCargo is linked to the specific control it satisfies, with a collection timestamp, source system, and validity window. The audit trail is immutable — evidence cannot be back-dated or removed without a log entry.
- Automatic collection from 12 integration probes
- Manual upload for out-of-system documents
- Validity window tracking — alerts when evidence approaches expiry
- Immutable timestamped trail with source attribution
- ZIP export with evidence manifest for auditor packages
Ownership at the control level, not the framework level.
Assigning "compliance" to one person doesn't scale to 187 controls across 14 frameworks. PulseCargo distributes ownership: each control gets an assigned owner, an assessment cadence, and a due date. The compliance officer sees aggregate status; control owners see their queue.
- Per-control owner assignment
- Assessment cadence scheduling (quarterly, annual, ad hoc)
- In-platform notifications for upcoming assessments and evidence gaps
- Consolidated dashboard for compliance officers
- Control status rollup by framework and domain
Compliance questions, answered directly.
What compliance frameworks does PulseCargo cover?
PulseCargo maps controls across 14 frameworks relevant to freight operations, including customs trade partnership programs, carrier certification tracking, trade documentation requirements, ESG reporting standards (ISO 14083), data governance, and sanctions screening alignment.
How does PulseCargo collect compliance evidence automatically?
Twelve integration probes continuously pull evidence from connected systems — operational documents from your TMS, access logs from identity providers, code activity from source control, infrastructure signals from cloud platforms, and network telemetry from security tools. Evidence is timestamped, linked to the specific control it satisfies, and stored in an immutable audit trail.
Can compliance assessments be assigned to specific team members?
Yes. Each of the 187 controls can be assigned an owner with an assessment due date. Owners receive in-platform notifications when evidence gaps are detected or when a control assessment is approaching expiry. Compliance officers see a consolidated dashboard across all controls, frameworks, and assignees.
Does PulseCargo produce audit-ready reports?
The platform exports per-framework compliance packages — control status, evidence links, assessment notes, and gap log — formatted for auditor review. Export formats include PDF summary and structured Excel for auditor working papers. Evidence documents are exported as a referenced ZIP archive.
