AskSprut Case Study:
Global Retailer

From Overwhelmed to In Control:
How One Retail Giant Transformed Compliance with AskSprut

It started with a spreadsheet. Then came more. Dozens more.

A leading global retailer was doing everything it could to keep up with the growing complexity of product regulations. With more than 100,000 SKUs and thousands of suppliers, compliance wasn’t just a department but a daily battle.

Inside their regulatory monitoring team, experts were scanning hundreds of government and industry websites. Legal teams were reviewing every interpretation. Third-party consultants were weighing in. And all of it had to be communicated – accurately and quickly – to purchasing, operations, product safety, and executives.

Their Tools:

A patchwork of spreadsheets, bookmarked links, shared folders, and long email threads.

“We weren’t short on effort or expertise – we were short on time, consistency, and a centralized system.” stated their senior compliance manager.

Then They Discovered AskSprut

AskSprut provided them what no other tool could: one automated, integrated platform built for regulatory complexity at scale.

Instead of tracking hundreds of websites manually, AskSprut’s automated platform now monitors regulatory updates around the clock. Internal teams log observations and questions directly into the platform. Legal reviews, third-party opinions, and compliance decisions are all captured and traceable.

And with the AskSprut dashboard, every team – legal, purchasing, product integrity, ops, and leadership – gets what they need, when they need it.

The Impact

Since adopting AskSprut, the retailer has:

  • Cut manual tracking time by over 90%
  • Eliminated communication silos between departments
  • Reduced turnaround time on compliance decisions
  • Gained real-time visibility into risks and regulatory changes across categories
  • Improved legal oversight without slowing operations

“It’s no longer a scramble. It’s a system. AskSprut lets us lead with confidence.” stated the Vice President of Product Compliance.
