Document ingestion
Reads messy supplier documents.
Safety data sheets, declarations and spec sheets in any format, at portfolio scale.
Safer Materials Advisor
Know the chemical risk in your entire portfolio.
Safer Materials Advisor reads your supplier documents, extracts the compounds, fills in the gaps, classifies the underlying chemistry, checks it against regulations and hazard data, and recommends safer alternatives.
What it does
From supplier documents to a portfolio risk evaluation.
Built on chemistry-native AI and alongside the chemical coordinators, regulatory experts and toxicologists who use it, with sources at every step. Select a card to see how it works.
Reveal hidden risks
Sees behind trade names.
Classifies trade-secret compounds and complex polymers. Consistency checks flag substances that are likely missing from a disclosure.
Regulatory intelligence
Checks every market.
Maps each substance to regulations by structure, use and jurisdiction, and flags substances already on regulators' radar.
Hazard assessment
Scores the hazard profile.
Human-health and environmental endpoints from measured data, and AI predictions for chemicals that have never been tested.
Portfolio risk assessment
Manage your portfolio.
What-if scenarios inform strategic decisions: a rule changes, a supplier exits a chemistry, or you enter a new market.
Recommends safer alternatives.
Ranked by safety, performance, cost and regulatory resilience, and screened to avoid regrettable substitutions.
Next releaseBehind our firewall or yours.
The models are compact enough to run in enterprise-standard containers, in our cloud or inside your own infrastructure. Either way, no supplier or product data is sent to an outside AI provider. Works with the tools you already use, such as your compliance database and ERP.

Results in production
In production for over a year, and proven in an external pilot.
4.3×
faster review per supplier document, timed by a chemical coordinator on her own workflow
98%
identification accuracy on hundreds of expert-labeled documents
No more blind spots
Caught errors that manual review missed, and flagged compounds before they were regulated
Teams of two to ten people often spend up to two years on a portfolio-wide assessment in spreadsheets, and the result goes out of date with the next regulation.
Safer Materials Advisor processes thousands of documents in batches, each in minutes, so the same assessment comes back ready for expert review.
Read the IBM case study →Why Safer Materials Advisor
Compliance tools check lists. Safer Materials Advisor reasons about the chemistry.
We work alongside the compliance and ERP systems you already run, and add a layer of chemistry understanding.
| Your question | Typical compliance tool | Safer Materials Advisor |
|---|---|---|
| Is something missing from the supplier's disclosure? | Unknown. It records what was declared. | Consistency checks flag likely omitted substances. |
| What's behind a proprietary trade name? | An unknown line item. | Infers the likely chemical class, with supporting evidence. |
| Does it fall under a rule defined by molecular structure? | Only if the exact substance is on a list. | Matches the structure against the definition. |
| Will it be regulated next? | Not covered. | Flags substances already on regulators' radar. |
| How hazardous is it? | Usually not assessed. | Measured data plus AI predictions, even for untested chemicals. |
