Logistics & Supply Chain
We modernized QuickCode's infrastructure to enable global trade classification and automated compliance guidance at scale.”
QuickCode has primarily focused on imports into the U.S., so we’re building a new system that will allow more flexible country additions without the U.S. serving as the default.
The plan is to start with Canada (approx. 2 months), followed by Mexico and, subsequently, the European Union.
The Strategic Decision at Stake
Without decoupling the platform from U.S.-centric assumptions and building scalable global infrastructure:
- Global expansion into new markets would remain blocked
- Product classification would remain limited to single-product lookups instead of high-volume catalog processing
- Manual tracking of changing global tariff schedules would create operational bottlenecks and risk outdated data
- Connecting complex compliance publications to classification workflows would require heavy ongoing manual maintenance
- Long-running bulk jobs could suffer from reliability issues, hung states, and unmanaged API limits
The Challenges QuickCode Faced
QuickCode needed to expand its capabilities beyond U.S. imports while ensuring high system reliability and automated compliance intelligence.
Key challenges included:
- Decoupling existing classification architecture from U.S. default mechanisms
- Enabling bulk AI classification for entire product catalogs across 140+ international schedules
- Tracking dynamic tariff updates and proactively notifying users of relevant schedule changes
- Ingesting, parsing, and indexing thousands of pages of unstructured compliance guidance without manual effort
- Managing system resilience for long-running batch classification jobs across shared account limits
