What You Get

  • AI Reads Every CoA

    Every supplier certificate is read the moment it arrives, in any format or layout.

  • Checked Three Ways

    Results are checked against the printed limits, a standard or your own specification.

  • Missing Tests Named

    Every required test the certificate left out is listed beside its verdict.

  • Out-of-Spec Items Named

    Each result outside its limit is named, with the rule it broke right beside it.

  • You Decide the Disposition

    Your team accepts, rejects or holds each flagged lot, and the reason is kept.

  • Full Audit Trail

    Every check, decision and certificate version stays on the lot's record.

How It Works

  1. Connect or Upload

    Connect your CoA inbox, or upload a supplier CoA by hand.

  2. Check Against the Spec

    Each result is compared with your published limit for that product and supplier.

  3. Review the Exception

    Your team decides on the flagged lots, with the reason kept on the record.

Who It Is Built For

  • Specialty Chemical Distributors
  • Food Ingredient Distributors
  • Coatings and Adhesives Makers
  • Paper and Packaging Converters

Fibre Converters

CoA IntelligenceCoA ProcessingPaperboard converting

Challenge: The same board grade is governed by a different manufacturer-negotiated specification at each plant, so one CoA cannot be checked against one spec: the correct limits depend on which manufacturer and which plant the lot came from.

Solution: Agents extract every CoA and check it against the specification negotiated for that manufacturer and that plant, enforcing the right limits per combination rather than one shared standard, and surfacing out-of-spec results for review.

How This Is Calculated
  • Hours today = monthly volume × minutes each ÷ 60.
  • Hours with the product = monthly volume × still reviewed ÷ 100 × minutes each ÷ 60.
  • Monthly saving = (hours today − hours with the product) × cost per hour, and the annual saving is the monthly saving × 12.
  • Cost of errors today = errors per month × cost per error: a cost you carry today, not a saving.
  • The starting values are examples, so replace them with your own.
  • A transaction a person still reviews takes as long as it does today.
  • The subscription is not included.
  • Results are plain numbers in the currency you entered.

Regulated mode implements the controls 21 CFR Part 11 requires: electronic signatures on approvals, releases and dispositions, a reason for every change with the prior value kept, a tamper-resistant audit trail that cannot be switched off, separation of duties, legal hold, account controls, and an inspection export. Validation remains yours, supported by our validation package and SOP templates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does CoA processing software do?

It reads each supplier Certificate of Analysis and checks every result against your specification. Only the lots with an exception reach your quality team.

What happens when a result is out of spec?

The lot is marked fail or needs review, with the rule it broke shown beside it. Your team accepts, rejects or asks the supplier for a new certificate, and the reason is kept.

Can one certificate cover several lots?

Yes. Each lot on the certificate gets its own verdict. A lot that passes can move while a lot that fails waits for review.

How much does CoA processing cost?

You can try it at no cost on your own supplier certificates. Paid plans are priced on the number of certificates you process each month.
