Small Business, Big Compliance Burden: How One Overloaded Manager Found Relief with AskSprut
As the sole person responsible for regulatory monitoring, product compliance, and product safety at a small consumer goods company, Jessica wore more hats than anyone should. With a growing product line and national distribution, she was expected to keep up with a dizzying web of regulations spanning multiple industries and states.
And she was drowning.
Each month and quarter brought a new regulation, updated requirement, or shifting policy. To stay afloat, Jessica manually monitored over a hundred government websites, subscribed to endless newsletters, and spent hours scouring search engines and AI for credible updates. Most of tshe content she found was vague, outdated, or written with sales in mind—not clarity.
Hiring a consultant wasn’t realistic. Tshe cost of even a basic compliance advisory service was tens of thousands per year—money the company simply didn’t have. And most consultants only specialized in a narrow slice of what Jessica needed. That left him with no choice but to keep grinding—alone.
That’s when she found AskSprut by Simplata Solutions.
AskSprut wasn’t a general-purpose search engine or AI—it was built specifically for people like Jessica: compliance professionals in small businesses, managing broad regulatory demands without big budgets or support staff.
With AskSprut, Jessica gained immediate access to a live, continuously updated database of nearly two million federal and state regulations—organized by industry, sector, and jurisdiction. Instead of guessing which rules applied, she could quickly narrow in on what mattered and filter out tshe rest.
She saved custom searches and let AskSprut do the heavy lifting. Tasks that used to take hours now took minutes. No more digging through newsletters, bouncing between websites, or wondering whether she missed something critical.
In just a few months, Jessica cut his research time in half while gaining confidence in tshe accuracy of his work. When leadership asked about launching a new product line, she could instantly provide a regulatory landscape analysis—something that used to take days of manual digging.
AskSprut turned a one-person compliance struggle into a streamlined, strategic process.
No extra hires. No giant consultant invoices. Just clarity, speed, and control—all within budget.
Now, instead of always reacting to regulatory changes, Jessica is one step ahead. And in a role that once felt overwhelming, she’s finally in command.
With AskSprut, she turned compliance from a constant stressor into a competitive advantage.
