Starting, Lighting & Ignition Batteries

One Missing Supplier Declaration Blocks EU Market Access. You Have 500 Suppliers to Track.

SLI battery manufacturers face the most comprehensive EU Battery Regulation compliance requirements in history. Due diligence obligations for cobalt, lead, lithium, and nickel take effect August 2025. Recycled content documentation is required by 2028. Your compliance team is managing supplier outreach manually while deadlines approach. Manual compliance processes can't scale with multi-tier supply chain complexity.

Sound Familiar? You Need to Act Now.

Due Diligence Deadline Approaching

Your battery supply chain due diligence obligations begin August 18, 2025. You must verify the responsible sourcing of cobalt, lead, lithium, nickel, and natural graphite from hundreds of suppliers. You have no systematic way to collect this data. Regulatory horizon scanning intelligence is critical now.

Your Compliance Person Just Left

The one person who knew which supplier compliance certificates were current and where the documentation was stored just gave notice. Institutional knowledge is walking out the door. You need a system of record, not a single person managing BOM-level compliance intelligence.

Customer Rejected Your Quote

An automotive OEM rejected your bid because you couldn't provide recycled content documentation for lead and other active materials. The project required EU Battery Regulation compliance evidence. You lost a €2M contract. Multi-tier supply chain transparency would have prevented this.

Board Asking Questions

Executive team wants to know your EU Battery Regulation compliance status. "Which suppliers have submitted due diligence declarations? What's our recycled content data coverage? Can we prove responsible sourcing?" Without continuous audit-ready documentation, you don't have answers.

Not Another Point Solution. A Platform.

Horizontal Platform vs. Point Solutions

One platform covers battery due diligence requirements, recycled content tracking, labeling compliance, CE marking for batteries, and customer-specific documentation. Stop buying separate tools for each requirement. Achieve integrated PLM ERP compliance connectivity.

Pain Points

SLI Battery Compliance Is Broken

Certificate Chaos

Recycled Content Nightmare

Phased Requirements, Continuous Compliance

Supply Chain Due Diligence Chaos

Certificate Chaos

Before

Supplier compliance certificates in email attachments, shared drives, filing cabinets. Nobody knows what's current. Due diligence documentation is with procurement, recycled content data is with quality, CE marking files are...somewhere. No centralized system of record.

After

Every certificate in one place with continuous audit-ready documentation. Expiry dates tracked automatically. 90-day alerts before anything lapses. Search by product, supplier, material, or regulation. Complete multi-tier supply chain transparency.

AI-Powered Validation
