Instantly search and retrieve past information

Value increments over time: find prior CoAs in seconds using batch numbers, materials, suppliers, or test parameters. Our intelligent search instantly retrieves historical results. No more digging through folders or convoluted filing systems. Build time series of data across all documents for deeper analyses. 

How to automate CoA handling without compromising Quality standards?

Effective automation for CoAs needs to fit in your processes, aggregating the input sources into one unified flow, enabling you to get the information you need instantly and handle exceptions efficiently: 
CoA_1

No need to overhaul existing workflows, automate current steps of your process

Feed certificates of analysis from emails or folders into a unified workflow

ML-powered models extract and classify information and attach context (metadata) 

Configurable human-in-the-loop validation ensures quality and enables further actions

Use simple chat interface to search, compare and analyze the CoAs 

Feed the structured data from the CoAs into downstream systems automatically 

How does smart automation on Certificates of Analysis work?

CoA_2b

Intelligent models extract data from the CoAs and attach context

Dedicated Machine Learning models identify and extract key data points, batch details, and test results in every Certificate of Analysis regardless of the document format or layout.

The models also attach relevant context from metadata for traceability and reliability in further processing steps (such as search and analysis).

Quality experts validate the content and trigger next steps

Configurable business rules can transform the data and adapt it to your specific needs and systems.

Review-by-exception workflows let experts quickly validate results, tag colleagues and approve the documents.

This ensures that only validated CoAs move forward, with action logs for GxP compliance and streamlined audits.

Frequently asked questions

Why would your models understand our Certificate of Analysis better than state-of-the art Copilot or OpenAI LLMs?

Whilst LLMs are trained on the global web content, our models are trained specifically on quality and regulatory documents. When our system ingests a certificate of analysis, it will run 15 separate models, each trained to understand specific components with accuracy (titles, tables, footnotes, etc.). 

As these models are proprietary to Acodis, it is much more cost effective and traceable than systems relying purely on external LLMs.

Finally, our system can also integrates LLM post-processing, so clients actually get the best of both worlds !

Concretely, what do I get out of the system in a few weeks?

In a couple of hours we can setup a dedicated instance and run our standard models on your certificates of analysis. With 20 to 30 processed  documents, you have a first version of a model adapted to your needs.
You get the ability to extract information and query the CoAs through an interface similar to Chatgpt, enabling you to answer any questions, get summaries and draft pieces of content. Always with the access on-screen to the source document. So you can make sure that the output is conform to the actual content. 

Within a few weeks, we can work further on the patterns of your documents, further train models with 100 CoAs and create outputs that address your business needs in a more automated fashion.

Does Acodis support GxP compliance and validation requirements?

Yes. Acodis is built to support GxP-regulated environments and aligns with GMP-compliant documentation requirements. The platform ensures traceability, complete audit trails, version control, and robust data integrity — all critical for regulated processes.

What types of documents and formats can Acodis handle, including handwritten or scanned files?

Acodis can handle a broad range of document types, including PDFs, Word files, Excel sheets, PowerPoint decks, scanned documents, images, & even handwritten text. Whether your documents are structured, semi-structured, or entirely unstructured, Acodis extracts the relevant data accurately. Even from complex formats like tables, multi-page reports, or low-quality scans.

Can Acodis integrate with our current systems (like LIMS, QMS, ERP)?

Yes. Acodis integrates seamlessly with existing enterprise systems such as LIMS, QMS, ERP, and other document or data platforms. As a SaaS solution, it supports flexible integration options including REST APIs, FTP, and other standard protocols, whether you're working in a cloud, hybrid, or on-premise environment.
