TraceGains has launched its new Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) solution for material compliance and lot-level ingredient quality control. Purpose-built to streamline Certificate of Analysis (COA) processing and ensure a product's compliance in terms of quality, performance, and safety, TraceGains' IDP eliminates the need for manual processes while improving accuracy and operational efficiency across workflows.

Built on OpenAI's foundation model and trained and validated against global food and beverage industry COAs, IDP is a first-of-its-kind solution for industry that delivers accuracy and reliability, even as COA formats evolve. Large-scale brands processing thousands of COAs monthly can spend excessive amounts of time relying on manual methods that are inefficient and error-prone. TraceGains' IDP improves processes by automatically reviewing inbound COAs against required specifications, flagging potential issues where additional human oversight is needed. In time-in-motion studies, IDP eliminated the average 12-minute-per-page manual setup, drastically reducing implementation times while ensuring data integrity and compliance.

Additionally, food and beverage supply chains can circulate millions of non-standardized documents among suppliers, manufacturers, and retailers, which may contain critical information on ingredient specifications, food safety, allergen declarations, and sustainability data. TraceGains’ IDP leverages advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing to extract relevant information from non-standard documents, producing structured, composable data that seamlessly integrates with TraceGains’ other solutions and flows across the supply chain.

Unlike solutions based on static, zoning-based Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technologies, IDP leverages advancements in AI to read unfamiliar and non-standard document formats with high accuracy. The system also learns over time, enhancing data extraction and accuracy as more documents are processed. Early trials demonstrate substantially higher accuracy than legacy methods, potentially matching or exceeding the accuracy of human comparison at much higher speeds.

TraceGains' IDP integrates seamlessly with existing TraceGains solutions, simplifying onboarding for food and beverage brands looking to modernize supply chain compliance.
