About DueSphere AI

What is DueSphere AI?

DueSphere AI-powered worker voice and supply chain due diligence platform that helps companies identify labor risks, strengthen HREDD, and protect vulnerable workers through continuous monitoring.

Our solution helps organisations map labour related risks across complex multi-tiered supply chains by collecting data via worker voice. It enables workers to report workplace concerns through familiar communication channels while helping organizations analyze, organize, and follow up on submitted cases.

Who can subscribe to DueSphere AI?

DueSphere AI can be used by:

  • Brand companies
  • Coalitions and industry associations
  • Factories and suppliers
  • Other organizations that need a worker grievance and due-diligence solution

Worker Access

How can workers access DueSphere AI?

DueSphere AI is platform-agnostic. Workers can access the service through supported channels such as Telegram, Facebook/Messenger, WhatsApp, or a website.

Do workers need a special application?

Not necessarily. The access method depends on the communication channel selected for the organization and its workers.

How do workers find the service?

Some channels can be searched directly, while others require a specific link or entry point. During onboarding, DueSphere AI works with the organization to determine how workers will access the service.

Can different worker groups use different channels?

Yes. The worker access strategy can be configured according to the needs and communication preferences of the relevant worker population.

Cases and Grievances

What happens when a worker submits a grievance?

The AI collects the relevant information through the conversation, analyzes the submission, and records it as a case in the organization's system.

Authorized users can then review and follow up on the case.

Can a human take over the conversation?

Yes. Authorized users can take over the AI conversation when human interaction or follow-up is required.

Can organizations update the case status?

Yes. Case-handling functionality is available through the case-management workflow. Additional dashboard-based case-management functionality can also be configured where required.

Can organizations receive notifications about new cases?

Yes. DueSphere AI can notify designated users when a new case is submitted. Notification settings and recipients can be configured according to the organization's requirements.

Accounts and Permissions

Can a brand see cases from all its factories?

Yes. A brand can be configured with access across its participating factories and suppliers.

Can a factory see cases belonging to another factory?

Access is controlled by user permissions. A factory user can be restricted to cases associated with their own factory.

Can a coalition have access to member cases?

Yes. Depending on the subscription structure, a coalition can have overall access while individual members receive access to their own cases.

Can individual member companies have their own accounts?

Yes. Separate accounts can be created for participating member companies.

Can different users have different access levels?

Yes. User credentials and permissions are configured according to the organization's structure and each user's responsibilities.

Subscription

What subscription models are available?

The main models are:

  • Brand subscription — the brand manages access across participating factories/suppliers.
  • Coalition subscription — the coalition manages access across participating members.
  • Individual subscription — a factory or company manages its own cases.
Who provides the company and factory information?

This depends on who holds the subscription.

For an individual subscriber, the company provides its own information.

For a brand or coalition subscription, the required organizational information can be provided centrally during onboarding.

Who receives the login credentials?

DueSphere AI provides credentials to the authorized users identified during onboarding.

Setup and Customization

Can DueSphere AI be customized for our organization?

Yes. The platform can be configured around the organization's structure, worker population, access requirements, communication channels, and case-management workflow.

Can additional functionality be requested?

Yes. Additional functionality, such as notifications or expanded dashboard-based case management, can be discussed during onboarding.

Do we need to provide our factories and suppliers before starting?

For a brand-level deployment, providing the participating factories and suppliers is important for establishing the appropriate organizational structure and access permissions.

What is the introductory pricing?

DueSphere AI introductory pricing starts at:

  • Starting at US$99/month for brands with multiple factories and supply-chain tiers.
  • Starting at US$9/month for individual factories.
  • Custom plans for large enterprises with complex supply chains.

Data and Access

Who can see worker cases?

Only authorized users with the appropriate permissions can access cases. Visibility is configured according to the subscription and organizational structure.

Can a brand and its factories have different levels of access?

Can access permissions be changed later?

Yes. User access and organizational permissions can be adjusted as the organization's requirements change.
