Chain of Custody
Encrypted Storage & Strict NDAs
Proficient in Trade Databases, Field Data & Labor Conventions
Our virtual assistants are pre-vetted in global trade intelligence, mobile field survey data parsing, corporate registries, and international labor standards.
Trade Manifests & Logistics
Tracking bills of lading (BOLs), consignee chains, container manifests, and manufacturing hubs.
Field Interviews & Anonymization
Managing mobile surveys, redacting worker identities, and transcribing field recordings.
Labor Standards & OSINT
Navigating labor conventions, registry filings, and corporate legal structures.
Evidence Dossiers & Reports
Assembling investigation dossiers, CAP progress trackers, and NGO campaign briefs.
What Your Labour Rights Virtual Assistant Executes Daily
Human rights monitors, trade union organizers, and ESG auditors should be interviewing workers and negotiating with corporate leadership—not spending nights cross-referencing shipping codes.
Trade Manifest & Subcontractor Tracing
Connect unauthorized subcontractor factories to global consumer brands. Your VA scrapes bills of lading, matches Open Supply Hub IDs, and establishes commercial shipping trails.
- Scraping ImportYeti and Panjiva data for specific HS codes and consignees
- Mapping hidden Tier-2 and Tier-3 subcontracting units via Open Supply Hub
- Linking export container shipments to Western multinational parent companies
Worker Testimony Redaction & PII Scrubbing
Protect worker identities from factory management retaliation. Your VA scrubs names, badge IDs, hostel room numbers, and production line identifiers from notes, audio, and photos.
- Digital black-box redactions on pay stubs, timecards, and medical clinic slips
- Pitch-shifting worker audio and scrubbing EXIF GPS metadata from site photos
- Assigning anonymous witness pseudonyms and maintaining secured offline keys
Overtime & Recruitment Fee Recalculation
Quantify the financial scale of labor exploitation. Your VA rebuilds payroll sheets to calculate stolen overtime premiums, unpaid piece rates, and illegal labor broker recruitment debts.
- Calculating statutory overtime premiums vs. actual worker bank deposits
- Tabulating unlawful salary deductions for dorms, uniforms, and security deposits
- Modeling migrant worker recruitment debt burdens under the Employer Pays Principle
Statutory Due Diligence Benchmarking
Format your findings directly into evidence ready for UFLPA Withhold Release Orders (WROs), German Supply Chain Act (LkSG) complaints, and EU CSDDD submissions.
- Cross-referencing findings against ILO Forced Labour Indicators (11 dimensions)
- Formatting complaint dossiers for OECD National Contact Point (NCP) filings
- Tracking customs detention notices and forced labor entity list additions
SMETA / BSCI Audit Deconstruction
Social audits regularly miss critical violations due to bribery and fraudulent records. Your VA deconstructs official SMETA/BSCI reports against on-the-ground worker realities.
- Spotting double-book payroll patterns in commercial social audit reports
- Tracking Corrective Action Plan (CAP) milestone progress and delays
- Flagging repeat non-compliances concealed behind temporary remediation notes
Evidence Dossiers & Campaign Briefs
Turn raw fieldwork data into compelling public advocacy campaigns or confidential investor memos. Your VA builds chronologies, organizes exhibits, and polishes whitepapers.
- Structuring chronological event master logs with linked primary exhibits
- Designing interactive supply chain hierarchy flowcharts in Miro and Canva
- Preparing high-impact PDF investigation summaries for media and unions

Trusted by Labor Monitors, Trade Union Researchers & Human Rights Watchdogs
See how leading investigators broke major supply chain stories and filed regulatory complaints with SageDoer's dedicated operational support.
"We were investigating unauthorized subcontracting in South Asian garment mills. Our SageDoer VA pulled and matched over 400 bills of lading from ImportYeti, cross-referenced factory codes on Open Supply Hub, and built a bulletproof evidence chain linking three European fashion giants to child labor units."
Dr. David K.
Lead Investigator, Fair Labour Accountability Initiative (Geneva)
"Protecting worker sources is life-or-death. The SageDoer team handled the audio pitch-shifting, timecard redaction, and witness pseudonym logging flawlessly. Not a single slip of PII leaked into our published report, and the Project Manager personally verified every exhibit."
Sarah L.
Senior Researcher, Migrant Rights Solidarity Network (Bangkok)
"When filing an LkSG complaint with German authorities, the documentation requirements are exhaustive. Our VA recalculated piece-rate underpayments across 220 workers and cross-referenced each violation to ILO Convention 95. The petition was accepted within 14 days."
Tobias W.
ESG Legal Counsel & Due Diligence Advisor (Berlin)
"We run on modest foundation grants. Traditional consulting agencies wanted $70/hr just for data entry. SageDoer gave us an extraordinary VA for $6/hr plus a dedicated Project Manager who actually understands supply chain audit fraud. It quadrupled our research output."
