About Cognitio Labs

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.

Read more

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.
