In This Case Study
Zero UFLPA infrastructure with active Xinjiang exposure
No supply chain mapping tools, no supplier risk intelligence, no trade data access. The processes were entirely manual, with no documentation to present to CBP if any shipment were questioned.
A complimentary due diligence report that proved the exposure
During discovery, Sayari delivered a one-to-two-page analysis identifying specific UFLPA risk exposure to Xinjiang-connected entities — shifting the conversation from “we might need a solution” to “we demonstrably have exposure.”
Full-stack supply chain compliance in six months across two divisions
The company went from zero compliance capability to a documented, auditable UFLPA program covering supply chain mapping, entity investigation, and automated workflow.
The challenge
No UFLPA program. No supply chain visibility. Enforcement approaching.
The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act created a rebuttable presumption that any goods with connections to the Xinjiang region of China are produced with forced labor and are prohibited from entering the United States. For global electronics manufacturers — whose supply chains run through hundreds of component suppliers and sub-tier intermediaries across Asia — the law transformed supply chain compliance from a reporting exercise into an import-blocking enforcement regime.
The company, operating across its U.S. business unit and its Japan-based energy subsidiary, had no solution in place. No supply chain mapping tools. No supplier risk intelligence. No trade data access. The processes were entirely manual, and the company had zero documentation to present to CBP if any shipment were questioned. The U.S. team knew the exposure was real — they were importing goods from suppliers with potential upstream connections to Xinjiang-region entities — but proving the absence of forced labor contamination requires tracing supply chains multiple tiers deep.
- No supply chain mapping tools, no risk intelligence, no trade data — entirely manual
- Importing goods with potential upstream connections to Xinjiang-region entities
- Zero documentation capability if any shipment were questioned by CBP
- Internal friction: Japan-based parent unit initially blocked the budget for U.S. team’s evaluation
The solution
Full-stack supply chain intelligence built from zero in 90 days
During early discovery, the evaluation team received a complimentary due diligence report on one of the company’s own suppliers: a one-to-two-page analysis that identified specific UFLPA risk exposure to Xinjiang-connected entities. That moment shifted the conversation from “we might need a solution” to “we demonstrably have exposure and need one immediately.”
The evaluation spanned a multi-phase process: pre-RFP workshops, a three-week trial of supply chain mapping and investigative tools, interleaved workflow automation presentations, and a second proof of concept for the Japanese team. The integrated architecture spanning supply chain mapping, deep investigations, and automated risk screening workflows won both teams over.
- Pre-RFP discovery: complimentary due diligence report surfaced live UFLPA exposure in supplier base
- Multi-phase evaluation: workshops, three-week trial, second POC for the Japanese team
- Integrated Map + Graph + Guide architecture won over both U.S. and Japan teams
Sayari capabilities used
The results
Compliance from zero – across two divisions, two continents
The company now has the documentation capability to respond to any CBP inquiry on any shipment. The compliance team that had nothing — no tools, no data, no documentation — now operates with the same depth of supply chain visibility that regulators use to make detention decisions. When the next UFLPA enforcement action targets the electronics sector, the company will be ready with evidence, not excuses.
