Regulatory software for chemical brands
Today
A customer asks which markets your product can legally be sold into, and the honest answer depends on registration and classification data that lives with your manufacturer, not with you.
Generic compliance tools assume the seller is also the registrant and the author of the safety data sheet. A brand that outsources production needs to hold the manufacturer's regulatory position as data, not just receive their documents as attachments.
With Worldover
Worldover Regulatory connects the substance and classification data your manufacturer provides, safety data sheets, market declarations and your own labelling and marketing claims into one product record.
You know where each product can be sold today, which document is current, and what changes when a manufacturer or their supplier updates a classification.
The problem
Why generic Regulatory failschemical product owner teams.
You're one step removed from the evidence
The registration or authorisation sits with the manufacturer or their supplier, so a brand's regulatory file is often a set of forwarded emails.
Safety data sheets are received, not managed
A brand that just files the SDS a manufacturer sends can't tell when it falls out of date against the actual formula.
Labelling claims outrun the evidence behind them
Marketing wants to state a claim or standard the product meets, and confirming it means going back to the manufacturer each time.
A working day
A substance restriction is announced
A regulator restricts a substance used in one of your product categories.
Today: the brand asks each manufacturer whether the substance is present, and waits for confirmation product by product.
In Worldover: every product recorded as containing the substance is listed immediately, with concentration and manufacturer source.
Two products are unaffected, one needs a manufacturer conversation and one needs a relabel.
The brand goes to the manufacturer with a specific request rather than a general enquiry, and the response is faster.
How it runs
How Regulatory worksinside Worldover.
01
Manufacturer data is captured as structured evidence
Classification, registration status and substance identity are recorded against the product, not just filed as a document.
02
Safety data sheets are checked against the record
A received SDS is compared to the composition and classification the manufacturer has confirmed, so mismatches surface.
03
Market status is tracked per product
Each product shows where it can be sold, on what regulatory basis, and what is outstanding for markets it can't yet enter.
04
Claims carry their regulatory basis
Labelling and marketing claims link to the classification or declaration that supports them.
The difference
Why the substance recordmakes the difference.
Regulation in chemicals is written about substances and concentrations, wherever they were made. Holding that data as a brand, rather than only holding the manufacturer's documents, is what turns a restriction into a filtered list of your own products instead of a round of phone calls.
Better together
What changes when Regulatoryshares a record with the rest of your setup.
Regulatory + PLM
The regulatory answer is always based on the manufacturer's current confirmed formula.

Market feasibility is checked with the manufacturer during development, not at launch.
Explore NPDRegulatory + QMS
Complaints and batch issues that trigger reporting duties link into the regulatory record.

What teams actually askonce the record is in one place.
- Which of our products contain this restricted substance, and who is the manufacturer for each?
- Which safety data sheets are older than the last confirmed formula change?
- What is outstanding to launch this product in a market we don't currently sell into?
Willow doesn't replace expert judgment. It removes the searching, re-keying and chasing between the systems that hold your answers.
