Trade Classification can become a huge bottleneck in your Trade Compliance management program if you still rely on hard rules based trade classification that becomes obsolete very quickly or use precious Trade Compliance Analyst workforce on paper-based, manual classification processes. ClassifAI™ leverages algorithmic intelligence to automate and standardize Trade Classification for a seamless and adaptive classification process.
ClassifAI™ is a machine learning-based Trade Classification Assist tool that learns from your existing classification data and predicts trade classifications for new products and serves them over the web to your Global Trade Management Application.
Predicts Trade Classifications including HTS, Schedule B, ECCNs, PGA data.
Harnesses the predictive power of product-related supply chain data already existing in your ERP.
Integrated with existing SAP GTS Classification tools/User Interfaces with over the web service to your Global Trade Management (GTM) application.
Predicted classifications are accompanied by predicted probabilities to drive system or user decisions.
Real-life use cases achieve 99% accuracy in predicting correct classification for fully qualified HS codes, and over 99% for 6 Digit harmonized classification.
