One Platform For The Full TBML Lifecycle

From first touch to final flag.

  • Ingest. Structure trade data from any source with AI document intelligence, direct API, or manual entry.

  • Screen. Check entities and goods against global sanctions, PEP, and dual-use lists in real time.

  • Profile. Score customer and bank-level risk before every transaction.

  • Monitor. Track pricing, vessels, containers, and documents live against every red-flag scenario.

  • Resolve. Triage alerts, manage cases, and file STRs, with an audit trail that closes the loop.

Trade compliance run from one window: work queue, cases, and reporting

Catch More Risk. Chase Fewer False Alerts

Entities, goods, vessels, and routes screened in real time

See What A Manual Team Misses

Every entity, good, vessel, and route is screened in real time against global sanctions, PEP, and dual-use lists. From over-invoicing to sanctions evasion, nothing slips through.

Fair-market pricing benchmarks separating real anomalies from dead alerts

Cut The False Positives

Fair-market pricing benchmarks point analysts at real anomalies instead of dead alerts. Every transaction reviewed, not a sample.

Detection to decision to filed STR, each step logged

Prove Every Decision To Your Regulator

Every case runs from detection to filed STR with a full audit trail. AI proposes, a named human decides, and every action is logged.
