Complir

“With Complir, we get a solution that is almost tailor-made for us, while still being easy to scale and adapt to companies similar to ours. Our clear assessment is that if we had tried to solve our challenges with other IT systems, it would have been both time-consuming and costly.”

“Complir came to us with expertise in law, compliance, and AI that we could see was hard to find elsewhere. That made it almost obvious to invite the company in for a joint development project that we could both benefit greatly from. We started the collaboration with a wish list of 10–11 points – areas where we were struggling. These were typically characterized by manual work and a lack of systematization, where knowledge resided with individuals and functioned more as routines than as actual systems.”

“If we cannot provide the required documentation, the goods simply won't be allowed in. That's why compliance is a strong competitive parameter. There is a built-in 'need for speed' – especially in a seasonal business like ours. We can only deliver on time if we have 100 percent control over compliance for every single product.”

“We are currently seeing legislation and requirements for virtually all products increase rapidly – and this applies not only in the EU, but globally. Where compliance previously primarily concerned consumer safety, today sustainability and traceability are also driving legislation. It is a worldwide phenomenon. With the escalation of legislation and documentation requirements we expect, many companies will simply drown in processes if they do not put the right compliance systems in place.”

“I absolutely love the people behind Complir. They are nerds in the best possible way. They have proven that their model works in practice, that they are ambitious about their product, and that they are ready with improvements and development that goes far beyond the initial sale.”

“When we train the AI model, we are simultaneously learning to be more precise in our own formulations. That is a double benefit. The goal is for all compliance work to start and end in Complir.”

“This is a toolbox under expansion, and we have no doubt that it is going to work brilliantly. Ultimately, the hope is that Complir will be able to read a product from a description or even an image, and from that precisely describe which standards, tests, documentation and labelling requirements we need to consider – a kind of preliminary risk assessment based on data from previously completed projects.”

“In this area alone, we have already seen significant savings in both time and money, because texts no longer need to be sent in and out of the house. At the same time, we went from 17 to 27 languages in just one season – it was remarkable to experience how quickly we could suddenly work.”

“When we launch a new product, it has typically been in development for around 18 months. During that time it passes through a series of critical sub-processes with tight deadlines. Having Complir replace what was otherwise a large amount of manual work frees up time that we can invest in quality assurance and product development instead. And it will only get better as we train the system further.”

“With products for children, we touch on everything related to standards and legislation, across regions and national borders. It is absolutely unacceptable to us if a child were to be seriously harmed by one of our products – and it is also a significant risk factor for us as a business. That is why compliance is a core function at Konges Sløjd.”
