EC Manager

The reference software suite for digitalising and managing your day-to-day export control operations end to end.

EC Manager digitalises your day-to-day export control operations — from exportability assessment to regulatory reporting — within an integrated software suite designed for operational teams.

  • Exportability assessment: systematic evaluation of each export flow against applicable controls, with full decision documentation and end-to-end traceability.
  • Integrated screening: automated verification of recipients against OFAC, BIS, EU and UN sanctions lists — companies, individuals and beneficial owners — with clear decision signals and a real-time audit trail.
  • Licence management: centralised licence portfolio, cross-checking against active export flows, and assistance with preparing and submitting licence applications to competent authorities.
  • Regulatory reporting: automated tracking of export flows and licence consumption, report generation for supervisory authorities, and complete compliance files serving as irrefutable evidence during audits.
  • Product classification: coverage of EU, EAR/ITAR regulations in support of operational flows, powered by an algorithm combining industry-specific terminology and synonyms.

VAT Checker

The reference tool for instantly verifying and periodically monitoring the validity of European VAT numbers.

VAT Checker, developed by Cyplom (a law firm specialising in VAT), allows you to instantly verify the validity of European VAT numbers and obtain validation certificates that are enforceable against tax authorities in all European countries.

  • Instant verification: one-click check of an intra-community VAT number's validity, with access to the associated company's registration details.
  • Validation certificate: automatic generation of a certificate enforceable against European tax authorities, providing proof of compliance during audits or transactions.
  • VAT calculation & conversion: simplified French VAT calculation (excl./incl. tax), VAT number determination from SIREN/SIRET, and small business VAT exemption eligibility check.
  • Automated periodic monitoring (Pro): automatic verification at the chosen frequency (daily, weekly, monthly) — free your teams from repetitive manual checks.
  • Real-time alerts (Pro): immediate notification whenever the status or information of a monitored VAT number changes.
  • Exports & integration (Pro): result extractions for re-integration into your management software, with secure storage of evidence on EU-based servers.
