Systems and methods for providing proactive regulatory compliance services for packages potentially containing regulated goods and being transported in a package delivery network

A computer-implemented method for dynamically monitoring transport of a plurality of packages potentially containing regulated goods so as to ensure compliance with one or more regulations within one or more of a plurality of jurisdictions, said method comprising the steps of:

• receiving and storing within one or more memory storage areas:
• consignor data associated with one or more consignors requesting transport of the plurality of packages, the consignor data comprising at least a consignor identification number;
• transport data associated with the transport of at least one of the plurality of packages, the transport data comprising at least package content data, one or more transport parameters, and an identification of at least one jurisdiction in which transport of the one of the plurality of packages occurs;
• and
• regulatory data associated with a plurality of jurisdictions in which transport of the plurality of packages may occur;
• determining, via at least one computer processor, whether the one of the plurality of packages contains at least one regulated good;
• upon determining that the one of the plurality of packages contains at least one regulated good, validating, via the at least one computer processor, the consignor data and the transport data, the validation of the consignor data comprising a comparison of the consignor identification number against one or more approved consignor identification numbers of the at least one jurisdiction;
• in response to an unsuccessful validation of the consignor data or the transport data:
• generating and transmitting, via the at least one computer processor and to a mobile device accessible by a user of a system located on the vehicle transporting the one of the plurality of packages and implementing the method, at least one alert;
• determining one or more optimal mitigation actions via execution of the mitigation tool wherein the mitigation data may include at least one identified mitigation action, the one or more optimal mitigation actions comprising at least delaying further transit until successful validation of the consignor data or the transport data;
• executing, via the at least one computer processor, a mitigation module to determine one or more mitigation actions configured to obviate one or more discrepancies identified between at least one of the consignor data or the transport data and the regulatory data;
• automatically generating and transmitting, via the at least one computer processor to at least the mobile device, the instructions being configured to automatically implement at least one of the determined one or more optimal mitigation actions;
• upon automatic implementation of the at least one of the determined one or more mitigation actions, revalidating, via the at least one computer processor, the consignor data and the transport data further accounting for the implemented mitigation actions against the at least a portion of the regulatory data;
• and
• in response to a successful validation of the consignor data and the transport data, facilitating continued transport of the one of the plurality of packages.

A non-transitory computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions embodied therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising at least one executable portion configured for:

• receiving a plurality of data, wherein said data comprises:
• (i) consignor data associated with one or more consignors requesting transport of the plurality of packages, the consignor data comprising at least a consignor identification number;
• (ii) transport data associated with the transport of at least one of the plurality of packages, the transport data comprising at least package content data, one or more transport parameters, and an identification of at least one jurisdiction in which transport of the one of the plurality of packages occurs;
• and
• (iii) regulatory data associated with a plurality of jurisdictions in which transport of the plurality of packages may occur;
• determining whether the one of the plurality of packages on one or more vehicles contains at least one regulated good;
• upon determining that the one of the plurality of packages contains at least one regulated good, the consignor data and the transport data, the validation of the consignor data comprising a comparison of the consignor identification number against one or more approved consignor identification numbers of the at least one jurisdiction;
• in response to an unsuccessful validation of the consignor data or the transport data:
• generating and transmitting, to a mobile device accessible by a user of a system located on the vehicle transporting the one of the plurality of packages, at least one alert;
• executing a mitigation module to determine one or more mitigation actions configured to obviate one or more discrepancies identified between at least one of
• the consignor data or the transport data and the regulatory data, the one or more mitigation actions comprising one or more of an interception of the one of the plurality of packages, a rerouting of the one of the plurality of packages, or a
• modification of the one or more transport parameters for the one of the plurality of packages;
• determine one or more optimal mitigation actions via execution of the mitigation tool wherein the mitigation date may include at least one identified mitigation action, the one or more optimal mitigation actions comprising at least delaying further transit until successful validation of the consignor data or the transport data;
• automatically generate and transmit instructions to at least the mobile device, the instructions being configured to automatically implement at least one of the determined one or more optimal mitigation actions;
• upon automatic implementation of the at least one of the determined one or more mitigation actions, revalidating the consignor data and the transport data;
• further accounting for the implemented mitigation actions against the at least a portion of the regulatory data;
• and
• in response to a successful validation of the consignor data and the transport data, generating at least one report configured to authorize continued transport of the one of the plurality of packages.
