Tiffany,Trade Compliance Manager
Illustration with sample data, Notice: a GingerOS window open on Compliance Radar gets a new Federal Register alert, Section 232 aluminum derivatives, effective in 14 days, above four earlier events marked Rechecked, while Ginger tells Tiffany in the chat that it is checking her SKUs.
Illustration with sample data, Detect: Tiffany presses Check my catalog, a progress bar checks all 4,210 sample SKUs, and the SKUs affected count climbs to 38 while a table lists the hit parts, such as a battery tray housing under HTS 8708.99.81.
Illustration with sample data, Impact: three tiles count 35 New rate, 1 Needs answer and 2 Origin recheck as each row gets its duty change, mostly 2.5% to 52.5%, and next step. Ginger says 35 get a new rate and 3 need a closer look.
Illustration with sample data, Classify: the battery tray housing, SKU 50-2291, opens in Classification with two facts Missing and its code on file flagged Basis missing. Ginger asks two questions, Tiffany’s answers fill the gaps, and Ginger suggests 8507.90.80 with three reasons, which Tiffany approves.
Illustration with sample data, Verify: three Trade checks panels recheck SKU 50-2291 under its new code. Export control comes back Clear (EAR99), FTA eligibility Qualifies under USMCA, and Documents turn Complete once two expired origin declarations are requested, received and filed.
Illustration with sample data, Update: Tiffany presses Write back and the Product Database turns all 38 SKUs Verified, with the battery tray housing’s 8708.99.81 crossed out for 8507.90.80, and the footer reads 38 records written back to your ERP and Audit trail saved.

Privacy & data
Use your data to train AI models?
Not an option. Your data never trains our models, or anyone else’s.
Locked off
Where does your data run?
In your own dedicated environment. Never pooled with other customers or public AI tools.
Is it encrypted?
Yes. In transit and at rest.
In transitAt rest
Is anyone watching for suspicious activity?
Yes, 24/7. Odd logins, bulk exports, repeated failed sign-ins and sudden permission changes get flagged. We block the session, re-verify the user and alert your admin right away.
Watching 24/7
Illustration: a GingerOS Settings window open on Privacy & data, with four rows, one per question. Model training is locked off, encryption has In transit and At rest checked, and monitoring shows a live green dot labeled Watching 24/7.

Our Risk-Free Promise
Full refund.
If you’re not satisfied before MVP acceptance, get a full refund of your deposit.
Straight answers to what buyers ask before the first call.
Why not just ask ChatGPT?
A chat answer has no record and no recheck. GingerOS keeps the reason behind every call and reruns it when your parts, suppliers or the rules change.
Why not outsource classification and get the result?
Outsourcing removes the judgment step, about a fifth of the hours. Collecting data, coordinating departments and rebuilding the record stay with you. That is the part GingerOS runs.
Three days for a prototype: is it a template?
No. It is built from one call about your own flow, with no permissions and no production data. We review it with you the same week, then quote.
Do you need our formula or our full spec sheet?
No. Only the parameters a call needs ever leave R&D, such as a material share, never the recipe.
How many interfaces do you need, and who maintains them?
One API layer, read-only on your ERP and PLM, with write-back only where you approve, connected in stages. We build and maintain the connectors. No master data migration, and on-premises deployment can be discussed if you need it.
Who signs the entry? Can you take the liability?
No one can take it for you. The system keeps the reasoning, the approver and the dates on record, so your own reasonable care holds up.
What is GingerOS?
GingerOS is GingerControl’s AI trade compliance software, fitted to your process. It watches new rules and changes in your ERP, PLM and supplier records, rechecks every SKU a change touches, asks for missing facts before it suggests an HTS code, and writes results back to your ERP only where you approve, with the reasoning on record. See how GingerOS works.
How much does it cost?
GingerOS is quoted per project, based on how complex your process is, after the Prototype Week. If you only need the tools, the GingerLite app at app.gingercontrol.com is $150 a month for 300 credits.
We have no ERP and our data is messy. Can we still start?
Yes. Without an ERP, we set up your data storage and design a data flow for your team. Messy data is cleaned first, then we build the AI system on it.
