Smarter Sorting

Smarter Sorting (which rebranded as SmarterX in 2023 and now operates as part of Syndigo) is an Austin, Texas product-intelligence and regulatory-classification company serving retailers, consumer-goods brands and the logistics industry. Its Smarter-1 platform takes a customer's product catalog — at minimum a UPC and a product name — and returns machine-generated regulatory classifications covering hazardous-waste handling (RCRA waste codes and state waste codes), transport of dangerous goods (DOT, IATA and IMDG hazard classes, UN numbers, packing groups and proper shipping names), NFPA 704 fire-diamond ratings, lithium-battery attributes and UN 38.3 documentation, so that a retailer can decide whether an item may be sold, shipped, donated, recycled, reclaimed or must be disposed of as regulated waste. The company publishes a public Customer Classification API (OpenAPI 3.1.0) alongside its Back of Store Solution (BOSS) platform, a developer portal, a staging environment and a public status page.

Smarter Sorting publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Api(.) API, Assets(.) API, Docs(.*) API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Company, Product Data, Regulatory Compliance, Hazardous Waste, and Retail.

The Smarter Sorting catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Smarter Sorting’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, and 18 more developer resources.
