Regulatory software for chemical distributors
Today
A customer in a new market asks for a safety data sheet in their language, and finding out whether one exists, and whether it's current, means opening the regulatory folder and hoping.
Document management tools store whatever SDS was last uploaded. They have no link to the substance's actual classification, so a document can be sent that no longer matches the product, the market or the language required.
With Worldover
Worldover Regulatory connects substance identity, classification, REACH and TSCA obligations as an importer or downstream user, and safety data sheets and labels per market and language to the customers and shipments that depend on them.
The correct document, in the correct language and format, reaches the correct customer, and you can show which customers hold which version.
The problem
Why generic Regulatory failschemicals distributor teams.
Multi-language variants are duplicated files
Every language and market gets its own document copy, and a correction to one is rarely propagated to the rest.
Import obligations are tracked separately from shipments
Whether you're the importer, only representative or a downstream user changes what you must hold and declare, and that role is rarely recorded against the actual product line.
Reissue has no distribution list
When a classification changes, there's no reliable record of which customers received the previous version, so notification is guesswork.
A working day
A classification update on a supplied substance
A manufacturer notifies you that a substance you distribute has a revised hazard classification.
Today: regulatory checks which products contain it, searches the document library for every language variant, and starts a reissue list from memory of past orders.
In Worldover: the substance record shows every product, market variant and customer shipment linked to it.
Safety data sheets and labels regenerate in every required language from the updated classification.
Customers who received the previous version are identified from shipment records, and notification is sent with the reason for the change.
How it runs
How Regulatory worksinside Worldover.
01
Substances are held once, markets many times
Classification and hazard data live on the substance, and each market and language variant of the document inherits from it.
02
Your regulatory role is explicit
Importer, only representative or downstream user status is recorded per substance and market, along with what that requires you to hold.
03
Documents generate, not accumulate
Safety data sheets and labels are produced from the current substance record rather than stored as ageing files.
04
Distribution is traceable
Every document issue is linked to the shipment and customer, so a reissue has a precise list to work from.
The difference
Why the substance recordmakes the difference.
As a distributor you didn't create the substance, but you carry the obligation of putting it correctly in front of every customer, in every market and language you serve. Holding the substance once is what makes that obligation answerable rather than a filing exercise.

What teams actually askonce the record is in one place.
- Which markets and languages does this substance need a current safety data sheet for?
- Which customers received the previous SDS version for this product in the last 12 months?
- Are we the importer or a downstream user for this substance in this market, and what does that require us to hold?
Willow doesn't replace expert judgment. It removes the searching, re-keying and chasing between the systems that hold your answers.
