Why Teams Choose FutureScan
Dual-Engine Compliance
We built FutureScan to address a gap we saw firsthand: supply chain transparency and digital checkout accessibility are usually handled by separate tools. Our dual-engine approach covers EU CSRD, CSDDD, UFLPA, EUDR, and EAA from one dashboard.
Transparent Pricing
We believe compliance tools should be accessible to businesses of every size. Start with a free scan, then choose Starter at $49/mo or Professional at $199/mo. No enterprise-only gates — every plan includes the Confidence Score and export capabilities.
Built for 2026 Regulations
The regulatory landscape is changing faster than ever. FutureScan was purpose-built for the 2026 reality: Executive Order compliance for U.S. supply chains, EU CBAM exposure detection, and EAA digital accessibility enforcement.
Supply Chain Risk Management Software for 2026
The supply chain risk management software landscape has shifted dramatically in 2026. New regulations — EU CSRD, CSDDD, EUDR, CBAM, and U.S. Executive Orders on domestic sourcing — require tools that go beyond traditional customs brokerage automation. FutureScan was built for this new reality: a trade compliance platform that combines 17 regulatory compliance signals with digital checkout accessibility auditing.
Traditional platforms like Descartes and E2open (Amber Road) excel at customs brokerage automation, HTS classification, and freight logistics. But they were built before the EU European Accessibility Act, before CBAM transitional reporting, and before the U.S. mandate for domestic sourcing verification. FutureScan fills these gaps with real-time scanning that checks for EU CBAM carbon border exposure, Section 301 tariff implications, and import duty risk — all from a single dashboard.
EU CBAM Compliance Software
The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) entered its transitional phase in October 2023 and full enforcement begins January 2026. FutureScan is among the first trade compliance platforms to include CBAM exposure detection in its supply chain scanner — flagging high-carbon-intensity imports from sectors like steel, aluminum, cement, fertilizers, and electricity.
Unlike enterprise-only solutions, FutureScan's EU CBAM compliance software is accessible from a free scan, with detailed carbon exposure analysis available on Starter ($49/mo) and Professional ($199/mo) plans. Combined with our Section 301 tariff analysis and import duty risk detection, compliance teams get a full picture of their trade exposure without six-figure enterprise contracts.
