Kodo Launches an AI Assistant for Czech Packaging EPR Reports

Kodo has introduced an AI assistant for quarterly Czech packaging EPR reports. Upload your Excel workbook and the portal checks it. If a cell needs attention, you can ask the assistant what to enter and what evidence to use. You can send supporting documents to Kodo from the same portal.

Upload your workbook and see what needs attention

Open your reporting quarter in the Kodo Portal and upload the completed XLSX workbook. The automatic check reviews the packaging catalogue, the links between products and packaging, and records of shipments to the Czech Republic. It can flag missing weights, invalid quantities, possible duplicates and inconsistencies between sheets. Where it can locate an issue, the result names the worksheet and cell. When the check finishes, the person who uploaded the file receives an email with a link to the result.

Ask the AI assistant how to fix a finding

In the example below, the check flags cell H8 on the Packaging Catalogue worksheet. The empty packaging weight is missing, and the company only has the weight of the whole shipment.

I only have the weight of the entire shipment. How do I document the packaging weight in H8?

The assistant suggests weighing the empty packaging or using a supplier specification for the same packaging variant. Enter the weight in grams in H8 and identify the specification or weighing record in J8. Once you have made the correction, upload the revised workbook under the same quarter.

Follow the report through to filing

Kodo reviews the supporting data and follows up where a figure or classification needs more evidence. The portal records the status of the filing with EKO-KOM separately. You can see which workbook version the automatic check reviewed and whether the report has been filed.

Try the assistant in your next reporting period

The assistant is included at no extra cost for all Kodo customers with an active Czech packaging EPR service. Once Kodo opens your reporting quarter, you can use it as soon as you sign in. Each company has 50 answered questions and five completed workbook checks per reporting quarter. The portal shows your usage. You can also send your workbook or a question directly to the Kodo team through the portal.
