Compliance Safe

What Compliance Safe does

Compliance Safe is a cloud-based SaaS platform, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, that enables retailers to monitor, track, and protect business-critical compliance documents such as permits, licenses, certifications, insurance policies, and tax forms. The platform is purpose-built for the convenience store and grocery retail verticals, organizing documents by physical business location and providing automated email alerts for upcoming renewals, encrypted 24/7 cloud storage, role-based access control (Account Manager, Location Manager, Document Viewer), audit trails, version archiving, and a real-time dashboard with map-based location and filtering by certificate type or compliance status. The product was originally developed as a proprietary internal tool for StrasGlobal's retail operations before being commercialized as a standalone SaaS offering.

The company generates revenue through a recurring subscription model priced at $10 per location per month or $100 per location per year, with the first month free, plus an enterprise tier offering custom multi-year contracts and professional services for onboarding, document migration, and implementation. Distribution combines a self-serve product-led growth motion through portal.compliancesafe.com with enterprise direct sales and channel partnerships, notably through trade associations such as the New York Association of Convenience Stores (NYACS). Marketing relies heavily on industry trade show presence at NACS and SEPetro Expo and earned media in vertical publications like CSP Magazine.

Compliance Safe operates as a division of StrasGlobal, a privately held retail management company, with no external venture capital or private equity funding disclosed. Leadership includes Compliance Safe President Eva Strasburger and Business Development lead Gerry Gabel. The company maintains a small headcount in the 11-50 range and serves a customer base spanning single-store operators through multi-location chains (e.g., Energy North at 54 sites) and trade association member networks covering 1,600+ retail locations.
