Upload your existing documentation. AI reads every document, identifies compliance-relevant data, and maps it to the correct regulation fields. No manual data entry.
Your suppliers' compliance data compounds across the PassoNext network. When a supplier submits data for one manufacturer, it becomes available to every other manufacturer using that supplier.
Certification bodies verify compliance records directly on PassoNext. Prioritised queue, evidence-linked review, immutable audit trails. The same platform where you create your compliance output is where it gets verified.
