About the Client

A global industrial group specializing in the distribution and supply of mechanical components and engines, operating across multiple markets with complex business flows and increasing compliance requirements.

Quick Overview

Inconsistent manual controls and a lack of continuous monitoring, creating significant compliance risks.

Challenge: Fragmented Controls & Compliance Gaps

The company operates in a multi-activity and multi-jurisdictional environment, facing increasing requirements related to sanctions, compliance, and third-party due diligence. Prior to implementation, controls were largely manual, inconsistent across entities, and insufficiently formalized. This led to risks of inconsistency in third-party assessments, limited traceability, and difficulty demonstrating compliance during audits. In addition, the absence of continuous monitoring prevented timely identification of evolving risks.

Solution: Automating Global Screening & Governance

To address these challenges, the company implemented Descartes Visual Compliance™, including restricted party screening, dynamic screening, and the compliance manager workflow module.

The screening solution enables systematic verification of customers, suppliers, and business partners—whether involved in domestic or international operations—against global sanctions lists and compliance databases. This ensures a consistent and secure approach across all business relationships.

Dynamic screening was implemented to provide continuous monitoring of all third parties recorded in Pwer TK’s systems (customers, suppliers, service providers). At this stage, monitoring is applied globally, without prior risk segmentation, to ensure immediate and comprehensive coverage.

The compliance management workflow structures alert handling, formalizes decisions, and ensures proper escalation where necessary. It also centralizes information and strengthens internal governance.

Overall, the solution provides an initial level of structure and automation, while laying the foundation for a more advanced risk-based approach in the future. The company has transitioned from a manual and fragmented process to a structured, automated, and scalable system governing all compliance workflows.
