AskSprut Case Study:
Mid-Size Manufacturer
A mid-sized manufacturing company has always prided itself on efficiency and innovation, but in recent years, one part of its operations had become an unexpected drag: compliance.
With a lean team of just a few dedicated individuals, they were responsible for keeping up with an overwhelming—and constantly changing—landscape of consumer product safety regulations. The company sold its products across the United States, touching multiple industries, each with its own set of rules, standards, and watchful regulatory bodies. What had once been manageable became nearly impossible to track.
To stay ahead of requirements, the team monitored over 129 different government websites, subscribed to dozens of newsletters, and spent countless hours combing through Google search results. But that method came with pitfalls. The team often found themselves chasing opinions instead of facts, sifting through sales-driven content instead of locating actual regulations. With limited time and resources, they faced a growing risk of missing updates or misinterpreting requirements that could impact their products, operations, or customer relationships.
Hiring a consulting firm wasn’t a viable option either. Most compliance advisors focused on just one or two industries, and the cost—often exceeding $100,000 a year—was more than the company could justify. Even then, the outsourced help typically relied on human monitoring, requiring teams of dozens just to keep up with basic regulatory tracking.
That’s when they discovered AskSprut by Simplata Solutions.
AskSprut wasn’t just another AI tool—it was a purpose-built compliance intelligence platform that felt like it had been designed with companies exactly like theirs in mind.
Instead of continuing the exhausting cycle of searching and second-guessing, AskSprut gave them immediate access to a continuously updated platform of nearly two million federal and state regulations. Everything was cross-referenced to over 1,000 industries, making it easy to find exactly what applied to their products—and ignore the rest.
From the moment they implemented AskSprut, things started to change. The team could search regulations with precision and save queries for ongoing monitoring. Across all industries. Tasks that used to take hours now took minutes. They no longer needed to monitor a hundred different websites or parse vague newsletters—they simply logged into AskSprut and got what they needed, clearly and reliably.
In the months that followed, the impact was clear. The team cut the time they spent on compliance research in half, while improving both accuracy and response time. When launching new products or expanding into new markets, they could instantly assess relevant regulatory requirements instead of embarking on another manual hunt. What used to be a reactive process—always playing catch-up—became proactive. They didn’t just meet regulations – they anticipated them.
AskSprut turned compliance from a burdensome chore into a strategic capability. For a small team managing a wide-reaching business, it was the difference between constantly treading water and confidently moving forward. And they did it all without expanding their headcount or exceeding their budget.
AskSprut provided them clarity, control, and peace of mind. With AskSprut, compliance became a strength—not a struggle.
