Introducing Beacon

Illuminate Risks in Your Supply Chain Documents.

Beacon is your always-on compliance copilot. CC it on supplier and broker emails — it captures attachments, validates them across documents, scores forest risk, and only creates a ticket when something needs your attention.

The Challenge

Compliance Hides in the Inbox

Every shipment lands as a flurry of supplier and broker emails — invoices, packing lists, certificates, KML and shapefile plot data, permits. Inside is the structured information your DDS, entry filing, and audit trail depend on, alongside the inconsistencies, expired certs, and misclassified HS codes that turn routine entries into regulatory headaches. Manual extraction doesn’t scale, EUDR plot data sits unstructured, and most issues only surface after the fact.

10+ documents per typical shipment, scattered across multiple emails
24/7 Beacon watches your inbox — you only hear from it when something needs you
0 workflow changes — just CC Beacon on the emails you already receive

How It Works

From Inbox to Insight, Automatically

1

CC Beacon

Add your tenant’s Beacon address as a CC on supplier, broker, and forwarder emails. No portal logins. No upload UI. No workflow changes.

2

Beacon Processes

Attachments are extracted by Atlas, geodata normalized into clean polygons, validated across documents, compared against your history, and scored for forest risk — all in minutes, all in the background.

3

Get a Ticket Only When Needed

Clean shipments process silently. When something needs your judgment, Beacon opens a ticket with the finding, the source documents, and a recommendation.

Email-First by Design

Built Around How Compliance Documents Actually Arrive

Supply chain compliance happens in email. Beacon meets your team where the work already lives — CC’d on the threads you already receive. Attachments land in your own Google Drive or OneDrive; Beacon stores only the metadata it needs to triage. When something needs you, a clean notification lands in your inbox — one click into the Beacon dashboard.

Forest Data Intelligence

See the Forest, and the Risk

Beacon normalizes the messy plot data suppliers send — KMLs, GeoJSON, points, polygons, and broken linestrings — into clean, fingerprinted geometries. It then scores every plot against deforestation, protected land, country-of-production conflicts, and species-by-jurisdiction risk, with severity bands you can act on.

  • Detects multi-country polygons and supplier-claim mismatches
  • Flags low-fidelity geometry (point clusters, polygonized linestrings) for coaching
  • Per-tenant Epoch toggle unlocks WDPA + natural-forest-masked Hansen overlays
  • Hansen attribution and data-quality badges surfaced on every finding

Capabilities

A Multi-Layer Compliance Engine

Email-First Ingestion

CC Beacon on the supplier and broker emails you already receive. Per-tenant address. Postmark-secured webhook with sender whitelisting.

Cross-Document Validation

Rule-based checks (HS validity, expired certs, CARB/TSCA) plus Claude-powered cross-document inconsistency detection across every shipment.

Forest Risk Scoring

Geospatial risk scoring across deforestation, protected land, country-of-production conflicts, and species-by-jurisdiction tiers.

Historical Comparison

Every shipment is compared against your prior history — same PO, same supplier, and cross-supplier outliers. Catches drift before regulators do.

Learns From Your Team

False-positive feedback and admin-authored Organization Policies tune Beacon to your business. “Expected Change” suppresses noise on accepted patterns.

Tickets & Real-Time Dashboard

Findings become tickets with severity, recommendation, and source documents. Live updates via Server-Sent Events. Notes, assignments, and resolution workflow built in.

Regulatory Coverage

Built for the Regulations You Actually File Against

Beacon’s validation engine maps directly to the rules customs and competent authorities apply — not generic AI “compliance.”

  • EUDR
  • EUTR
  • Lacey Act
  • CARB
  • TSCA Title VI
  • CITES
  • USITC HTS (4/6/8/10 digit)

Your Storage, Your Files

Attachments are written to your own Google Drive or OneDrive. Beacon stores only metadata — never long-term blob hosting of your documents.

Tenant-Isolated by Design

Every database query is scoped to your tenant. Secrets are encrypted at rest with Fernet. Session cookies follow OWASP-recommended hardening — invisible to JavaScript, HTTPS-only in transit, and protected against cross-site request attacks.

Your Data Stays Yours

Beacon uses Anthropic’s commercial API — your data is never used to train models. Validator prompts are clearly delimited to prevent injection from supplier-authored content.
