AI back office for food product quality teams

CoAsync by Cognitio Labs is the AI back office for product quality compliance teams. We help mission-critical food manufacturers automate repetitive, document-intensive workflows. We started with Certificates of Analysis (COAs), one of the many workflows quality teams manage before products can ship. Today, this work is still performed manually across PDFs, emails, spreadsheets, and disconnected ERP systems. Other documents we help quality teams respond to 24x7 include supplier audit questionnaires, production schedules, lab reports & changes in product specifications and quality records. CoAsync automates the workflow by: Reading supplier documents Extracting laboratory data Validating product specifications Applying compliance requirements Drafting compliant COAs Organizing audit-ready documentation Results from one of our initial deployments with a mid-market food processor: 85% less QA administrative work 4× more COAs processed per shift 1-2 hours saved per document New product onboarding in under one day COAs are just the beginning. Our vision is to build the AI back office for product quality and compliance across regulated industries by automating the many document-intensive workflows manufacturers manage every day. Backed by Y Combinator and leading investors. Founder Diva Avaya Sharma has presented example AI workflows for product quality and compliance through the World Economic Forum Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chains' SmartStart initiative and at the International Telecommunication Union's AI for Good Global Summit, organized in partnership with the United Nations.

Certificates of Analysis are one of the sources of documentation clogging food and consumer product shipments today. Every day, millions of dollars of product sit waiting to ship because paperwork isn't ready to certify it is safe.

Before food can leave a facility, quality teams review supplier documents, lab reports, product specs, and regulatory requirements to produce a COA, the document certifying a product is safe, meets quality standards, and complies with destination-country rules. That still happens across PDFs, emails, spreadsheets, and disconnected ERPs, and a single COA can take hours.

CoAsync ingests supplier documents, extracts lab data, validates specifications, applies country-specific compliance requirements, and drafts audit-ready COAs, keeping quality teams in control at every step.

Results: A Fresno-based dry fruit manufacturer cut COA processing from 8 hrs/week to under 1 hr in a six-week deployment, an 85% drop in QA admin work. A California fig grower now processes 4x more COAs per shift, saving 1 to 2 hours per document, and onboarded in under a day.

We're starting with food, one of the most document-intensive, regulated supply chains in the world, building toward an AI operating system for safety and quality across consumer products adoption.

Our founder @Diva Avaya Sharma presented on critical supply chains adopting artificial intelligence tools at the World Economic Forum's SmartStart Manufacturing Initiative Initiative and the AI for Good Global Summit (International Telecommunications x United Nations).

If you know a food, consumer products, or ingredients manufacturer buried in paperwork overload, we welcome an introduction: https://www.cognitioiq.com/contact.
