Kinatico unveils AI-driven platform for workforce compliance

Kinatico has launched Kinatico Compliance, a software-as-a-service platform positioned as an end-to-end system for managing workforce compliance across Australian organisations.

The ASX-listed regtech group said the product responds to a growing compliance burden and shifting governance expectations. Research commissioned by Kinatico found boards want more regular, structured compliance reporting as legislation and legal requirements change.

Compliance obligations often apply similarly to large and small employers, but smaller organisations can lack dedicated staff and supporting systems. The gap has become more apparent as regulatory demands expand and workforces become more distributed.

Separate analysis from the Australian Institute of Company Directors puts the cost of federal regulation at almost 6% of GDP. The estimate excludes state and local requirements, suggesting a higher total burden once all layers are included.

Chief executive Michael Ivanchenko framed the platform as a response to uneven access to compliance resources.

"Compliance shouldn't be a privilege of scale - our platform was designed to level the playing field and be industry agnostic," said Ivanchenko.

Tool consolidation

Product development work highlighted operational issues inside many compliance functions. Remote and hybrid staff often prefer mobile-first tools, and document uploads were flagged as a key friction point. Organisations also reported managing compliance across multiple systems, with some still relying on spreadsheets.

That mix of tools can leave teams chasing expiring credentials, missing documents and incomplete records. Kinatico described the result as fragmented oversight and lost productivity as staff reconcile information across platforms.

Kinatico Compliance uses a single dashboard designed to replace spreadsheets, email chains and separate systems with synchronised records. The platform also provides "secure, auditable proof of compliance in real time".

Ivanchenko said the design brief addressed both worker experience and management oversight.

"Boards want compliance intelligence. Workers want simple, mobile tools they can use on-the-go. And leaders want visibility before issues become incidents given compliance is complex and workforces are mobile," said Ivanchenko.

Product scope

Kinatico said the platform covers the full compliance lifecycle, rather than a single activity such as background checks or training records. It argued some existing offerings focus on one element or treat compliance as an add-on within broader HR systems. That approach can produce records after the fact, rather than a live view of whether obligations have been met.

Kinatico linked the launch to its own evolution from CVCheck into a broader software platform, drawing on 17 years of verification experience.

"We started with 17 years of hard-won knowledge about workforce trust," said Ivanchenko. "Kinatico Compliance systemises that experience and makes it accessible to every Australian business that needs it, no matter the size."

Feature set

Kinatico listed workforce verification and credential integrity validation as core functions, alongside secure audit trails and reporting across an organisation.

The product also includes automation and reporting described as AI-powered. Kinatico said AI was "embedded into the platform from the ground up" and that it has had 18 months of AI in live production.

Kinatico said its "people-led intelligence layer" automates routine workflows and supports proactive compliance monitoring, aiming to reduce Level 1 support load, improve response times and lower the cost per compliance ticket. It added that human oversight remains in place.

Kinatico said the platform scales from small and medium-sized enterprises to larger organisations, targeting demand for clearer audit trails and more structured reporting across distributed workforces.

Further development is expected to track changes in legislation and governance reporting expectations, with management emphasising the need for ongoing compliance intelligence delivered through mobile and dashboard-based tools.
