We work with 25 trusted North American retailers representing over $200 billionin commerce including big-box retailers, national grocery chains, and warehouse clubs. Our work powers product compliance, waste reduction, better supply chain decisions, and greater sustainability.

We support all regulated consumer products and all products as required by our retailer and partner compliance programs. This includes formulated products (e.g. beauty and household products), electrical goods and products with electronic components, and products with regulated ingredients and chemistry (e.g. food supplements and alcohol).

We connect hazardous and regulated consumer products to over 7,000 regulations for shipping, handling, storage, and safe disposal. Products are classified using DOT, RCRA, IATA, EPA, OSHA, and IMDG regulations, plus state-specific regulations and laws. Our team of regulatory experts works closely with HCPA, RILA, COSTHA, and ERCC, staying up-to-date on policy changes.

Our self-service registration process registers and classifies products in a matter of minutes. Our bulk registration tools can register multiple UPCs quickly using publicly-available data, minimizing the work for brands. Once a brand has registered their product(s), the information can be shared with other retailers making it easier for brands and suppliers.

Compliance only scratches the surface of what we can do (not to mention that we are faster and more accurate than other compliance solutions). Our approach helps your Category and Merchandising teams get products onto shelves and online faster. We help EHS and Sustainability teams with waste diversion and donations. And, our data services and APIs help your Operations and Supply Chain teams automate decisions for storage and shipping.

We connect product data to relevant regulations and your business’ unique rules, and turn it into easy-to-understand waste handling instructions for your back-of-store associates. We apply regulations for handling Hazardous Waste, custom business rules for recycling and donation, and help you comply with state-specific policies, such as food waste handling requirements.

We clearly identify and prioritize donation and reclamation opportunities. If disposal is required, we reduce the regulatory burden. We also ensure products are not over classified while reducing risk and environmental impact by improving the accuracy of hazardous waste decisioning.

Our reporting tools give you access to the data you want right out of the box. We provide real-time insights that will change the way your teams think about your Hazardous Waste and Waste Diversion Programs. From nationwide diversion data to granular details at the category, product, store, or even employee level, it’s easy to access the data you need to move your operations forward.

Absolutely! We know there are lots of different ways to handle a specific product’s life cycle. We work with you to set up custom rules that ensure products move through your supply chain efficiently, and determine the best possible end-of-life pathway for non-saleable goods. Whether it’s identifying a more efficient shipping route, a battery recycling program, or a local donation partner, SmarterX handles custom rules with ease.

The first step is for suppliers and brands to register their products on our platform. Our self-service portal and onboarding team make it easy. In parallel, we work with you on the implementation of our Back of Store Solution (“BOSS” for short) system with consideration to your existing hardware and tech stack. The BOSS APIs can connect into your existing technology or we can support you with new hardware and software solutions.

We provide data and analytics to track back-of-store waste handling, waste diversion, and donations. Built-in measurement and reporting show specific waste streams, cost of waste, waste diversion, generator status, reclamation, and donation volumes. All data can be viewed at the regional, store, category, and product level.

Data and reports are updated in real time so that what’s happening back of store, in warehouses and at distribution centers is accessible on demand. For EHS compliance and training, we provide real-time reporting on store-by-store implementation, training, and usage—down to the individual employee.

‍

Reporting is accessed through your secure and tailored dashboards. We can help you create reports and dashboards for different users and groups in your organization. Scheduled reporting can also be enabled to update operational teams and store managers.

All of your data is able to be downloaded for easy internal reporting and operational needs.

Our team of dedicated Retail Account Managers is here to help! They will meet with you on a regular basis to discuss ongoing work and review reporting. Our Business Intelligence team provides additional expertise when new reporting requirements arise.

Because we don’t require a product’s full formulation to accurately classify it, our registration, classification, and compliance processes are quicker and easier than other solutions. In addition to safely getting products on shelves faster, not requiring all of a brand’s proprietary information builds trust between our company and the businesses we support.

SmarterX data gets the products you merchandise onto your shelves and websites faster. Our approach reduces human error, identifies products that have been over-classified, and surfaces new exemptions. We remove bad data from the item management process while facilitating compliance, growth, and sustainability.

We can help “pre-classify” new products you are looking to add to your assortment, providing you with insights including state regulations, ecommerce shipping guidance, and additional California Right to Know requirements—before you commit. We also help with the evaluation of ingredient-free claims and badging, supporting your assortment planning and future marketing.

We work with over 1,700 suppliers and brands, from large manufacturers with thousands of UPCs, to startups securing their first retail placement. Our clients include some of the world’s most recognized personal care, household, and electronics companies. No matter the size of the brand or supplier, we make meeting regulatory and retailer requirements faster and easier.

We send the relevant product intelligence, shipping, and storage classifications via API and data sharing services to retailers and their partners. The SmarterX Product Intelligence Platform™ is an easy-to-use portal for accessing product classifications. Additionally, native API integrations can be set up to provide seamless sharing of classifications with your tech stack.

We do NOT require a product’s full formulation to safely and accurately classify it—in most cases, publicly-available information is all it takes! Your proprietary information belongs to you. We will only ask for additional ingredients or formulations when they are necessary to complete a product classification or satisfy specific retailer requirements, such as a paraben-free claim. In addition to safely getting products on shelves faster, not requiring full formulations builds trust between our company and the businesses we support.

Many consumer products are subject to federal, state, and local regulations. New regulations and exemptions are also regularly introduced. Registering your products with SmarterX ensures you are always compliant and can help you benefit from updates to regulations and laws. Additionally, product registration is often required as part of a retailer's broader item management and compliance process, as well as for validating ingredient-free claims and supporting certain sustainability and waste diversion programs.

All regulated consumer products and certain products required by your retailers’ compliance programs need to be registered. This includes formulated products (e.g. beauty and household products), electrical goods or products with electronic components, and products with regulated ingredients and chemistry (e.g. food supplements and alcohol). You may also need to register products to verify ingredient-free claims and support retailer waste diversion goals and sustainability programs.

We do not require a product’s full formulation. Instead, you will need to provide basic information like product name, UPC, and brand name—we’ll take it from there! Depending on the product type, you may also be asked for common documentation such as a Safety Data Sheet for formulated products or user manuals for electronics. If your product contains chemical ingredients, you will typically need to share the information on your product labeling including concentration ranges.

We connect hazardous and regulated consumer products to over 7,000 regulations for shipping, handling, storage, and safe disposal.

You can be ready to sell or ship to your retailer in a matter of days—possibly hours.

Simply reach out to let us know what needs to be updated and we'll then be able to help you classify the updated product and its ingredients/chemistry.

Once you have registered a UPC with SmarterX, you can share it with any of our retail partners in minutes. There is no additional fee for doing so and this information is available immediately upon request when a new retailer needs it.
