Supply chain compliance made easy on ICW’s one-stop management platform ![]() Global product and factory compliance have become increasingly costly, complex, and time-consuming. Businesses operating in multiple markets must be more cautious or risk violating the regulations of different countries.
To facilitate higher quality standard and to bring testing, inspection, and certification into the digital age, Cyberport incubatee and Accelerator Support Programme participant, International Compliance Workshop (ICW), has developed the world’s first one-stop management platform that provides everything needed to streamline customers’ supply chain compliance process and greatly enhance efficiency.
Retailers, manufacturers, material suppliers, and trading companies can use this marketplace to compare prices easily by getting the best rates from hundreds of laboratories and certification bodies for thousands of testing, inspection, and certification services around the world.
They can also access ICW’s database and obtain the regulatory requirements for any product factory compliance scheme.
In addition, users can obtain technical support to comply with product regulations and to perform supply chain management. For example, ICW offers cloud-based data storage to help users track and trace the expiry dates of technical files and to alert them when expiry nears.
ICW leverages big data and AI for clients to gain insights in their supply chain performance, helping them to save time, manpower, and financial resources.
Founded in 2016, the Hong Kong-based platform now services global clients from more than 30 countries. Its service was in such demand that, within 18 months of operation, ICW completed 3,000 testing inspections and factory compliance projects and solicited 1,500 enterprise users.
The company has already completed pre-series A fundraising in early 2018. They are raising series A round which is expected to close in February.
Looking into the long term, ICW will thrive to make Hong Kong the international centre of global testing and certification.
