Certivo and Birlasoft Partner to Bring AI-Native Compliance to the Enterprise Product Lifecycle

A strategic partnership pairing Certivo's compliance intelligence platform with Birlasoft's enterprise engineering and delivery scale, giving regulated manufacturers continuous, audit-ready compliance inside the systems they already operate.

At a glance

Certivo and Birlasoft have entered into a strategic partnership to help enterprise manufacturers and regulated industries move from periodic, manual compliance to a continuous, evidence-backed model. The partnership combines Certivo's AI-native compliance intelligence platform with Birlasoft's enterprise transformation practice, so regulatory requirements are met inside the engineering, quality, and supply-chain systems companies already run rather than in disconnected spreadsheets and email threads.

Under the partnership, Birlasoft delivers and integrates Certivo across enterprise environments spanning PLM, ERP, MES, LIMS, and quality systems, while Certivo supplies the regulatory intelligence and evidence engine that keeps compliance current as rules change. The result is one connected capability rather than another standalone tool for compliance teams to maintain on the side.

Why this partnership matters

Regulated manufacturing has reached a point where compliance can no longer be treated as an after-the-fact reporting exercise. Product portfolios now span thousands of parts and suppliers across dozens of jurisdictions, and each of those jurisdictions is tightening its rules on chemicals, materials, emissions, and product safety. A single incorrect determination can block a shipment, delay a launch, or produce an audit finding.

Most enterprises already carry a significant compliance budget. Much of it funds manual work: chasing supplier declarations, re-reading safety data sheets, and rebuilding technical files by hand each time a regulation shifts. This partnership is built to redirect that effort. Certivo automates the collection and validation of evidence, and Birlasoft embeds that capability into the systems where product and supplier data already live.

The compliance challenge facing regulated manufacturers

Three forces are converging for global manufacturers, and together they create a structural gap that manual methods cannot close.

• Regulatory volume and velocity. Requirements such as REACH, RoHS, PFAS restrictions, POPs, SCIP, PPWR, CBAM, and conflict-minerals reporting multiply and change faster than manual teams can track them.

• Supply-chain opacity. Compliance depends on evidence held by suppliers, often in inconsistent formats and multiple languages, and that evidence expires and must be re-collected.

• Enterprise fragmentation. Product data lives in PLM, supplier data in ERP, test results in LIMS, and quality records in QMS. Compliance sits across all of them and belongs to none of them.

The data usually exists somewhere in the enterprise. What companies lack is that data in a validated, connected, always-current form they can prove to an auditor or a customer on demand. The pressure is also increasing on a fixed timeline. Between 2026 and 2028 a wave of obligations takes effect, from the **EU packaging rules** that begin applying in August 2026 to the CBAM definitive regime and new PFAS reporting expectations, each adding evidence requirements across the same supplier base.

How Certivo and Birlasoft solve it together

The partnership pairs two capabilities that each address part of the problem and, combined, close the gap between regulatory requirement and provable evidence.

What Certivo brings

Certivo is an AI-native product compliance and regulatory intelligence platform. Its engine, CORA, reads supplier documents, validates them against applicable requirements, monitors regulatory change, and produces audit-ready evidence across more than 150 regulatory frameworks. The approach is deterministic. The system recognizes patterns and applies rules to structured data, so every determination is reproducible and traceable, with compliance specialists reviewing the exceptions by design. That foundation supports evidence collection, supplier collaboration, material and product compliance, workflow automation, and continuous compliance across the product lifecycle.

What Birlasoft brings

Birlasoft, part of the CKA Birla Group, is a global enterprise technology and digital transformation company with established practices in PLM, ERP, MES, quality, and digital engineering, and long-standing delivery experience across life sciences and industrial manufacturing. Birlasoft contributes the integration expertise and large-enterprise implementation capacity needed to connect Certivo bidirectionally with the systems of record, so bills of materials, vendor masters, and part data flow into compliance and validated statuses flow back to the source.

Delivered together, the two companies provide regulatory intelligence and evidence management that operate inside the enterprise stack, not beside it. Certivo owns the compliance intelligence; Birlasoft owns the enterprise delivery. Customers receive a single integrated solution rather than a tool and a separate integration project.

What customers gain

For manufacturers and regulated industries, the partnership is designed to produce measurable outcomes.

• Continuous compliance in place of periodic scrambles, with evidence kept current as regulations change.

• Lower compliance effort, as AI handles document collection and validation while specialists focus on judgment.

• Stronger supplier collaboration through structured, multilingual evidence campaigns and clear scorecards.

• Audit readiness on demand, with every determination logged alongside its supporting rationale.

• Real-time compliance visibility for engineering, quality, and executive leadership.

• Reduced regulatory risk across materials, substances, responsible sourcing, and reporting.

• Faster product launches, because applicable requirements surface before design decisions lock in.

• Integration across PLM, ERP, MES, LIMS, and QMS, so compliance lives in the digital thread.

• Scalable compliance operations that grow with the product portfolio rather than with headcount.

Industries that benefit

The partnership is aimed first at two environments where the regulatory load and the cost of error are highest.

Life sciences, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals. These manufacturers operate under GxP expectations and dense technical-file and submission requirements, from design history files through post-market surveillance. Certivo's evidence engine, delivered through Birlasoft's life-sciences practice, keeps that documentation validated and current across the product lifecycle.

Industrial manufacturing. Diversified and discrete manufacturers face full bill-of-materials substance obligations, responsible-sourcing and carbon rules, and continuous customer and agency reporting across global operations. The joint solution collects, validates, and proves that evidence inside their existing SAP and PLM environments.

The same underlying capability extends to any sector where product and supply-chain compliance is business-critical, including high-tech, energy, and broader industrial supply chains.

Leadership perspective

"Compliance in regulated manufacturing has outgrown manual methods. Requirements change faster than teams can track by hand, and the evidence that proves compliance is scattered across suppliers and systems. By combining our AI-native platform with Birlasoft's enterprise engineering and delivery expertise, we can put continuous, validated compliance inside the systems our customers already run, and turn a recurring cost into a source of speed and confidence."

Kunal Chopra, Chief Executive Officer, Certivo

"Our manufacturing and life-sciences customers are under real pressure to prove compliance across increasingly complex supply chains. Certivo's platform, delivered through our PLM, ERP, and quality practices, gives them a compliance capability that is automated, connected, and audit-ready without adding to their operational burden."

Looking ahead

This partnership reflects a broader change in how regulated companies will manage compliance. The work is moving from a documentation task performed near the end of a product's life to a continuous, data-driven discipline embedded in engineering and operations. Certivo and Birlasoft intend to expand the joint offering across additional frameworks, industries, and enterprise platforms as the regulatory landscape grows, with early deployments concentrated in medical device, pharmaceutical, and industrial manufacturing environments.

A shared commitment to continuous compliance

For regulated manufacturers, the question is no longer whether to digitize compliance, but how quickly they can make it continuous, connected, and defensible. Certivo and Birlasoft are partnering to make that transition practical at enterprise scale, and to give compliance, quality, and engineering leaders a single source of validated truth for the products they bring to market.
