TC-Agents by Crosscheck
Transaction certificates, right the first time.
TC-Agents collects your shipment data, checks it against the standard and your certified volumes, and once the data is correct, pre-fills the TC application your certification body needs. For suppliers, brands, certification bodies and scheme owners working with GOTS and Textile Exchange standards.
Built by auditors who audited supply chains for The North Face, Moncler, Esprit, Haglöfs and Marc O'Polo.

The problem
Why TC issuance takes weeks instead of days
A TC is only as good as the data behind it. Today that data is assembled by hand from invoices, packing lists, input TCs and production records spread across teams and systems.
Collecting the data
Shipment data sits in invoices, packing lists, transport documents, inbound TCs and ERP exports. Someone pulls it together for every shipment, often under deadline, in the format each CB expects.
Mistakes and anomalies
A wrong net weight, a mismatched composition or an input TC used twice stops issuance. Errors found later mean withdrawn TCs, buyer complaints and audit findings.
Back-and-forth with the certification body
Incomplete requests trigger questions by email. Each round trip adds days, the buyer waits, and the shipment or payment is held.
What it costs
A late or wrong TC costs more than time
- 01
Delays
Shipments and payments on hold
When buyers require the TC before release.
- 02
Rework
Staff time lost
Time spent fixing requests instead of on production or sales.
- 03
Findings
Audit non-conformities
When TC data does not reconcile with volume records.
- 04
Trust
Buyer confidence lost
When a TC is questioned or withdrawn.
The workspace
One workspace from shipment documents to issued TC
Document intake
Reads invoices, packing lists, transport documents and inbound TCs (PDF, scans, Excel) and extracts the fields a TC needs.
BenefitNo retyping; data comes from the source documents.
Automated checks
Runs consistency, volume and standard-rule checks on every request before submission.
BenefitErrors are found by the supplier, not by the CB or the buyer.
Volume ledger
Keeps a running balance of certified inputs received, converted and sold per product and standard.
BenefitEvery TC traces back to certified input; audit reconciliation is ready.
Checked pre-filling
Once all checks pass, pre-fills your CB's TC application with the checked data and evidence, then tracks every question until the TC is issued.
BenefitOnly correct data reaches the CB, with a full history for audits.
Works with the TC systems certification bodies already use
TC-Agents does not replace the TC systems your CB or scheme owner already uses. On request, it connects to them and pre-fills the application only after your data passes all checks.
- Checks the data first, then pre-fills the application
TC-Agents prepares and checks the request. Your CB reviews it and issues the TC.
Brands see their suppliers' TCs in one place, with the checks behind each one.
How it works
From shipment to issued TC in five steps
Errors are fixed before the request reaches the CB
- 1
Upload
Forward invoices, packing lists, transport documents and input TCs.
- 2
Extract
TC-Agents reads the documents and fills each field, linked to its source.
- 3
Check
Certificates, weights, composition, volumes and standard rules are checked. Flagged items are fixed or explained.
- 4
Pre-fill and submit
Once all checks pass, your CB's application is pre-filled. You approve it before it is sent.
- 5
Issue and record
Your CB issues the TC, your buyer gets the check record, and your ledger updates.
Checks
What we check before your request leaves
- Certificate validity
- Seller scope certificate valid on the shipment date; product and process in scope; buyer holds a valid certificate where the standard requires it.
- Parties and identifiers
- Seller, buyer, consignee and license numbers match the certificate database and the invoice.
- Shipment documents
- Invoice, packing list and transport document agree on dates, quantities, units and product descriptions.
- Weights
- Gross, net and certified weight consistent; unit conversions correct; certified weight not above net weight.
- Material composition
- Declared fibre content and certified share match the product category and the inbound material.
- Input traceability
- Every input TC referenced exists, is issued to this supplier and covers the material used.
- Volume balance
- Certified output stays within certified input after declared process losses; no input volume used twice.
- Dates and sequence
- Inputs received before production; shipment within the period the standard allows for the request.
- Standard rules
- Labelling grade or claim, minimum content thresholds and required fields for the selected standard.
- Anomalies
- Losses or yields outside the supplier's usual range; unusual volumes for a buyer or product; duplicate invoice numbers.
Each failed check shows the reason, the source document and the field, so it can be fixed before submission.

Agents
- 01
Intake agent
Watches the inbox and folders, sorts documents by shipment and opens a draft TC request.
- 02
Document chaser
Asks colleagues or upstream suppliers for missing documents, such as an input TC, and follows up.
- 03
Check agent
Runs the checks, explains each failed one in plain language and proposes a fix.
- 04
CB reply agent
Drafts answers to CB questions from evidence already in the request.
- 05
Ledger agent
Reconciles certified volumes each month and flags gaps before the audit.
- 06
Expiry agent
Warns before scope certificates of the supplier, its suppliers or its buyers expire.
Agents prepare, people decide. Nothing goes to a CB or a buyer without approval from your team.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01Does TC-Agents issue TCs?
No. Your certification body reviews and issues the TC. TC-Agents prepares and checks the request.
02Do we need to change our certification body?
No. TC-Agents works with any certification body approved for GOTS or Textile Exchange standards. Where your CB uses its own TC system or the scheme owner's, TC-Agents connects to it on request and pre-fills the application there with checked data.
03Our certification body already has a TC management system. Does TC-Agents replace it?
No. TC-Agents works alongside it. It checks the data first, then pre-fills the application, so the CB reviews a correct and complete request instead of asking follow-up questions.
04Which standards are supported?
GOTS and the Textile Exchange standards under the Content Claim Standard (GRS, RCS, OCS, RDS, RWS, RAS, RMS).
05How does our data get in?
Forward documents to a dedicated inbox, connect a cloud folder, or connect your ERP. An API is available for larger setups, and other integrations are built on request.
06What if a check fails?
You see which check, which document and which field, and can correct it or add an explanation before sending.
07Does the AI send anything on its own?
No. Agents collect documents, run checks and draft replies; a person on your team approves every submission to the CB or buyer.
08Can brands use it without their suppliers?
Brands see TCs their suppliers share with them. A brand can invite its suppliers to use TC-Agents.
09How do we start?
Book an introduction. We walk you through the system using your own TC examples and agree next steps together.
10How is it priced?
Based on the number of TCs and standards. We share pricing after the introduction meeting.
