What is Compliance Program Management?

Think of it as having a dedicated U.S.-based compliance manager on your team — without the overhead.

The Problem It Solves

Growing Amazon and Walmart sellers all hit the same wall: compliance has become a full-time job, but hiring a full-time compliance manager isn't realistic. Your existing team is already stretched. Documents get buried. Deadlines slip. Retailers complain. Products get suspended.

What you actually need is someone — or an entire team — whose only focus is keeping your products compliant and your suppliers accountable. But that person runs $60,000–$80,000+ a year, plus benefits, plus months of onboarding.

The Compliance Program is that person, at a fraction of the cost.

What You Get

  • Proactive (not reactive) compliance planning
  • Testing coordination across multiple labs
  • Inspection scheduling and coordination
  • Audit planning and execution
  • Documentation organization and submission
  • Retailer communications and issue resolution
  • Corrective action tracking
  • Real-time visibility dashboard

One point of contact. One phone number. One email. Someone who knows your business and your retailers personally.

Core Features

What's Included in the Compliance Program

Eight core features that keep your compliance on track and your products on shelves.

👤

Dedicated Compliance Manager

Your own compliance expert — U.S.-based, easy to reach, and someone who actually understands your business. They're your primary contact for everything compliance-related. Regular check-in calls, fast responses, and a real person who knows your products and your retailers by name.

📅

Compliance Calendar

Every compliance deadline tracked automatically — audit expirations, test report renewals, certification renewals, retailer submissions, inspection schedules. You'll never miss a deadline, and you'll always get 90 days' notice before anything expires.

🧪

Testing Planning

We go through every SKU, figure out what's legally required and what retailers specifically mandate, coordinate testing across multiple labs, track samples, and pull the reports together. Testing happens on a schedule — not in a panic when your product is ready to ship.

🏆

Audit Planning & Coordination

We prepare your factory for audits — SMETA, BSCI, Walmart RSC — coordinate with certified auditors, track audit status, manage corrective action plans, and make sure re-audits stay on schedule. Planned and professional, every time.

🌐

Retail Submission Management

We handle document submissions to Amazon Seller Central, Walmart GTS, Costco, and other retailer portals. We manage responses, address retailer questions, send corrected documents when needed, and track approval status until your product is live.

📁

Documentation Management & Storage

Every test report, audit certificate, declaration, label, and compliance file — organized, version-controlled, and stored in one central place. No more lost documents. No more digging through old email threads.

Corrective Action Tracking

When a retailer audit flags issues or a factory needs improvement, we manage the corrective action process end to end — defining actions, setting deadlines, tracking progress, and verifying completion. Things get done and don't fall through the cracks.

📊

Compliance Dashboard

Full visibility into your compliance program, in real time. Every product's status, upcoming deadlines, expiration dates, open issues, approval status — all in one place. Log in anytime, see the full picture, with a complete audit trail of everything that's happened.

Operations

How It Works — Monthly Program

Here's what a typical month looks like on the Compliance Program.

1

Weekly Check-In

You and your compliance manager run through the week: new SKUs launching, upcoming deadlines, retailer questions, factory updates. Quick, focused, no surprises.

2

New SKU Onboarding

New product coming in? Share the specs. We figure out what tests are needed, outline costs and timelines, recommend the right lab partners, and build a testing plan. Testing kicks off right away — not the week the product is ready to ship.

3

Compliance Review

We go through the dashboard together: expiring documents, tests in progress, upcoming audits, pending submissions. Issues get flagged early, before they turn into emergencies.

4

Renewals Planning

Audit expiring in six months? We start planning the re-audit now. Test report coming up for renewal? Already scheduled. Nothing sneaks up on you.

5

Monthly Report

A clear compliance status update — what's new, what's in progress, what's expiring soon, and what's coming up next. You always know where you stand.

6

On-Demand Support

You have direct access to your compliance manager throughout the month. Question about a retailer message? Need to understand a test result? Not sure if a new product needs testing? They're a message away.

Transformation

Why This Changes Everything

The difference between managing compliance on your own and having a dedicated program.

Without Compliance Program

  • Compliance gets handled ad-hoc, by whoever has time. Nobody fully owns it.
  • Test reports expire without anyone noticing — until a retailer flags it. Audits lapse and you scramble to fix the damage.
  • Documents are scattered across three different places. Someone has the file, but nobody can find it fast. You end up re-testing unnecessarily.
  • Everything happens reactively. Testing starts late, audits become urgent, submissions get rushed.
  • A retailer spots missing documentation and your listing goes down. You lose one to two weeks of sales.
  • Late submissions, incomplete audits, label issues — retailers dock your account or hit you with fees.

With Retail Assured Program

  • Everything is documented, tracked, and accessible. There's clear ownership and clear timelines.
  • Expirations show up 90 days out. Renewals are planned and coordinated. Nothing catches you off guard.
  • One location for every test report, certificate, and submission. You find what you need in seconds.
  • Testing schedules are set months in advance. Audits are coordinated. Submissions are ready before retailers ask for them.
  • Documentation is complete before it's submitted. Retailers approve quickly. Your products stay live.
  • You're no longer reactive. Retailers trust you more and scrutinize you less. Compliance becomes a competitive advantage.
Who Benefits

Perfect For

The Compliance Program is built for growing businesses that take retail seriously.

🛒

Growing Amazon Sellers

Scaling from $500K to $5M+ on Amazon means compliance can't be an afterthought anymore. The program grows with you — and it costs far less than bringing on a full-time hire.

🏪

Walmart Suppliers

Walmart holds suppliers to a high bar. Factory audits, pre-shipment inspections, detailed documentation — it's a lot to manage. The Compliance Program handles the entire Walmart supply chain compliance process, start to finish.

🌐

Multi-Channel Sellers

Selling on Amazon, Walmart, and Costco at the same time means juggling different requirements and deadlines across every channel. We manage all of them from one unified program so nothing falls through the cracks.

📦

Brands with 10+ SKUs

Once you're managing compliance across ten or more products — especially across categories like electrical, children's, or food — it stops being manageable as a side task. The Program scales with your product line, however complex it gets.

🏭

International Suppliers

Manufacturing in India, China, Vietnam, or elsewhere while selling into the U.S. market adds a whole layer of complexity to compliance and audits. We act as the bridge between your factory and your U.S. retailers.

🏆

Quality-Focused Brands

If compliance is part of how you differentiate your brand, the Program keeps you ahead. Your documentation stays clean. Your audits come back strong. And your retailers know they can count on you.

Investment

ROI Perspective

A full-time in-house compliance manager runs $80,000–$100,000+ annually when you factor in salary, benefits, and training. One prevented listing suspension protects $5,000–$20,000 in revenue. One avoided recall saves $50,000 or more.

Typical Payback Period

Most clients find the Program pays for itself within one to two months — through issues avoided and approvals that move faster.

Client Success

From One of Our Clients

"

Before Retail Assured's Compliance Program, we were drowning. We had 25 SKUs across Amazon and Walmart. Every time a test report expired or an audit came due, it turned into a crisis. We'd scramble to track down old reports, re-test products we'd already tested, and still miss deadlines. One of our listings got suspended because we let a certificate lapse. That was the wake-up call.

Since joining the Compliance Program, compliance just works. My compliance manager reaches out before things become problems — "Your audit expires in four months, let's get it scheduled." "Your test report is up for renewal, we're already coordinating with the lab." Everything is documented and organized. No more emergencies. No more suspensions. We launched eight new products last year and every single one hit its retail date on time because compliance wasn't holding us back.

The peace of mind alone is worth it. But financially? We've more than broken even through prevented issues and faster listings. Our retailers have even noticed — they audit us less often now because they trust our compliance systems. It's become a real competitive advantage.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The Program is flexible. Some clients use it exclusively for Walmart compliance. Others focus on a single product category. We tailor the program to what you actually need — you pay for what you use. Just talk through your situation with our team.

That's fine — we work with what you have. We'll review your existing documentation, identify the gaps, and bring everything into our system. You don't have to start from scratch. Most transitions take two to four weeks.

You'll have a dedicated manager, and we actively encourage building a real working relationship. Most clients do monthly video calls with their manager. You can reach them by email, phone, or text during business hours — and they'll genuinely know your business and your retailers.

We offer both month-to-month and annual options. Annual contracts come with a slight discount. Most clients stay on the Program for years because it becomes a core part of how they operate. You're not locked in — but most people don't want to leave once they see how it works.

We can kick things off as soon as you sign the service agreement. Initial onboarding — collecting your documents, setting up the dashboard, running the first compliance review — usually takes one to two weeks. You'll be up and running and seeing value within your first month.
