Product Compliance Scoring

You have 8,000 products in your system. How many are actually compliant right now?

Clover evaluates every product against your configurable compliance rules (certifications, labeling, classification, packaging) and scores each one. Gaps become structured tasks routed to the supplier.

Where product compliance breaks down

The product data is in your system. You have no idea if it's actually compliant.

A distributor carries 12,000 SKUs from 400 food suppliers. Every product has a record, but does the allergen declaration cover the current formulation? Is the nutritional panel compliant with the latest FDA labeling rules? Nobody knows, because compliance was checked at onboarding and never re-evaluated. The data exists. The confidence doesn't.

A regulation changes. You need to know which products are affected. Good luck.

A new state labeling requirement takes effect in 90 days. A retailer needs to know which of their 5,000 private-label SKUs are affected. The product data is in three systems, the certifications are in a shared drive, and the only way to assess impact is to have someone manually review each product against the new requirement. That's not a compliance program. That's a research project.

You found the gap. Now you need the supplier to fix it. So you send an email.

A medical device company discovers that 30 component suppliers have certificates of conformance that don't cover specific products in their catalog. The procurement team starts drafting emails: "Your CoC does not cover part number X. Please provide an updated certificate." Each supplier gets a slightly different email. Some respond. Some don't. There's no structured way to track who's fixed what.

How Clover handles it

Every product scored. Every gap actionable. Every change tracked.

Clover treats products as first-class entities with structured data: identification, marketing, classification, packaging. Each product is scored against your configurable compliance rules. Individual checks show pass or fail with specific explanations. Failed checks become structured tasks the supplier can act on through a guided form. When rules change, scores update across your entire catalog.

Configurable rules that score every product automatically

Define what "compliant" means for your business: valid certifications covering this specific product, complete labeling fields, correct classification codes, packaging specs within tolerance. Clover evaluates every product against every applicable rule and produces a compliance score with individual pass/fail results, each with a specific explanation of what's missing or wrong.

Failed checks become structured tasks, not email requests

A product fails a check: "Certificate does not cover this product." Your buyer clicks "Request update." The supplier gets a structured task in their portal (not a vague email) with the specific product, the specific gap, and a guided form to respond. They submit the corrected data or documentation. The score updates. No back-and-forth.

Rules change. Every product re-scores. New gaps surface instantly.

A new regulation takes effect. You add or update a rule. Clover re-evaluates every product in your catalog against the new requirement. Products that were compliant yesterday may not be today, and you see exactly which ones, which suppliers, and what's needed to close the gap. Impact assessment that used to take weeks happens in seconds.

Not just a score. The specific gap, the specific ask, and the specific response.

Most compliance systems give you a status: compliant or not. Clover gives you the why behind every score: which specific checks passed, which failed, and exactly what explanation the supplier sees. When a supplier responds to a gap, their submission is validated against the same rule that flagged it. The loop closes automatically. You don't reconcile spreadsheets to figure out if a gap was addressed. The score tells you.

A foodservice distributor adds a new rule: all dairy products must have a current Pasteurized Milk Ordinance certificate on file. Clover re-scores 1,200 dairy SKUs overnight. 940 pass. The certificates are already on file and cover the specific products. 260 fail with the explanation: "PMO certificate does not cover this product." Each supplier sees their specific gaps as tasks. Within three weeks, 230 have submitted updated certificates. The remaining 30 are flagged for your compliance lead, with full context on which products, which suppliers, and how long the gap has been open.
How it works

You see the picture in real time, not after the audit.

Define your compliance rules

Configure the rules that matter for your business: required certifications by product category, labeling completeness checks, classification validation, packaging specifications. Each rule includes the check logic, the failure explanation suppliers see, and the response workflow for closing gaps.

Score your product catalog

Clover evaluates every product against every applicable rule and produces a compliance score. Your dashboard shows the full picture: 4,200 products fully compliant, 380 with gaps, 15 with critical failures. Drill into any product to see individual check results with specific explanations.

Route gaps to suppliers and track resolution

Failed checks become structured tasks routed to the responsible supplier. They see the specific product, the specific gap, and a guided form to respond. As they submit corrections, scores update in real time. Your team manages the exceptions, not the routine follow-up.

Frequently asked questions

You define configurable rules for your business, such as required certifications by product category, labeling completeness checks, and classification validation. Clover evaluates every product against every applicable rule and produces a compliance score with individual pass/fail results. Each failed check includes a specific explanation of what is missing or incorrect, not just a generic flag.

When you add or update a rule, Clover re-evaluates every product in your catalog against the new requirement automatically. Products that were compliant yesterday may not be today, and you see exactly which ones are affected, which suppliers own them, and what is needed to close the gap. Impact assessment that used to take weeks happens in seconds.

When a product fails a compliance check, your buyer can send a structured task directly to the supplier through the platform. The supplier sees the specific product, the specific gap, and a guided form to respond, not a vague email. When they submit the corrected data or documentation, the compliance score updates automatically.

Yes. Clover treats products as first-class entities with structured data including identification, marketing claims, classification, and packaging. Compliance is scored per product, not just per supplier. A supplier may have 50 products that pass and 3 that fail, and you see that granularity with specific gap details for each product.

Rules can cover any structured requirement: valid certifications that cover the specific product, labeling field completeness, correct classification or category codes, packaging specifications within tolerance, allergen declaration coverage, and any custom check your business requires. Each rule includes the check logic, the failure explanation the supplier sees, and the response workflow for closing gaps.

You add the new regulatory requirement as a rule in Clover. The system re-scores your entire product catalog against that rule and surfaces every product that does not meet the new standard. The affected suppliers receive structured tasks with specific gap details. You track remediation progress in real time across your full catalog instead of manually reviewing products one by one.
