Integration with regulatory reporting systems

Purpose

1. Automate the collection, validation, formatting, and submission of regulatory reports for breweries, including data for excise duties, environmental compliance, quality controls, safety audits, and traceability logs.

2. Automator reduces manual intervention, ensures rapid regulatory response, and minimizes compliance errors.

3. Automates the transformation of raw production, quality, and inventory data into regulator-required schemas and forms.

4. Enables continuous compliance monitoring and automatedly initiates corrective actions by programmatic integration with regulatory authorities.

Trigger Conditions

1. New batch production finalized in brewery software.

2. Quality control test outcome saved to QA/QC systems.

3. Scheduled compliance reporting deadline approaches (e.g., monthly/quarterly excise reporting).

4. External regulator API request received for data.

5. Inventory count or transaction exceeds regulatory thresholds.
