Integration with regulatory databases for validation checks

Purpose

1. Ensure real-time, accurate validation of aircraft and dealer credentials against official regulatory sources.

2. Streamline compliance for documentation in aircraft sales and brokerage, reducing human error.

3. Automate due diligence for KYC (Know Your Customer), ownership history, lien status, and export controls.

4. Maintain audit trails and instant flagging of regulatory discrepancies to ensure corporate accountability.

Trigger Conditions

1. New customer, partner, or listing creation in the CRM.

2. Submission or update of compliance documentation.

3. Initiation of aircraft listing or transfer of ownership workflows.

4. Periodic scheduled compliance reviews, e.g., quarterly database checks.
