The challenge: monitoring the unpredictable to protect an exemplary system
inpEV is responsible for coordinating one of the largest and most successful reverse logistics initiatives in the world: the receipt, processing, and final destination of agricultural pesticide packaging in Brazil. But keeping this system running safely and efficiently depends on an often invisible factor: constant vigilance over the legislative and regulatory environment.
With a nationwide presence, the volume of information — including legislative propositions, normative acts, and official publications — is massive and growing. With each new process, risks emerge that could compromise years of environmental, logistical, and institutional advancements.
“The reverse logistics of agricultural pesticides is a national and international success story, but its solidity depends on a very specific legal framework. Any change could compromise the functioning of the entire system — and, consequently, put health and the environment at risk.”
— Renata Stringueta Nishio, Institutional Affairs Manager at inpEV
Before Sigalei: limited visibility and invisible risks
Early in its operations, inpEV monitored only major state and federal regulatory milestones, using manual methods or less efficient tools. The risk? Being caught off guard by significant changes in sectoral legislation that directly impact the institute's operations and institutional role.
“Our greatest difficulty was keeping track of new regulations. We had worked with competing tools before, but without the degree of support and depth we now have with Sigalei.”
— Renata Stringueta Nishio
It was precisely a legislative surprise that acted as a breaking point. From that moment on, it became clear that it was necessary to structure a continuous, reliable, and analytical monitoring system.
The turning point: technology with human intelligence as a differentiator
The choice for technological tracking occurred in the context of monitoring the processing of the National Solid Waste Policy. After a few years with other companies in the market, inpEV sought a more strategic solution — and found in Sigalei a model that combines robust automation with expert curation, active support, and contextual analysis.
“Despite the entire technological foundation, what most differentiates Sigalei is the human work behind it. The daily curation and contact with the Sigalei team give us the security we need.”
— Renata Stringueta Nishio
With the shift to Sigalei, the team began systematically tracking the most relevant processes with greater ease due to the curation, with filters by shift (morning and afternoon) and daily monitoring of acts published in official gazettes. All of this with organization, prioritization, and alerts that facilitate decision-making.
The results: agility, confidence, and informed decisions
inpEV integrated regulatory monitoring into the core of its institutional operations. Sigalei's platform has become a strategic tool both for the operational routine and for internal meetings and councils.
“There are countless cases in which Sigalei helped us anticipate risks and base important decisions. Today, legislative monitoring is part of our institutional strategy.”
— Renata Stringueta Nishio
The platform's interactive Dashboard also started being used in strategic presentations, organizing information by theme, location, and relevance — and allowing a clear view of the regulatory scenario in real-time.
inpEV's advice: monitoring is not a luxury — it is a necessity
For companies and institutions still facing challenges with the manual tracking of legislation and norms, Renata is categorical:
“With so much information available and the increasing strategic demands from leadership, it no longer makes sense to rely solely on traditional methods. A tool like Sigalei is essential to maintain focus on what really matters.”
— Renata Stringueta Nishio
Conclusion: when knowledge becomes strategy
By adopting monitoring, inpEV transformed a point of vulnerability into a strategic advantage. What was once an invisible risk is now accurately monitored. Regulatory intelligence has become part of the institutional DNA — protecting the reverse logistics system and ensuring its continuity based on data, predictability, and proactive action.
