AKA Omni · Food Data Readiness You have a PLM, ERP or ELN, and you trust what's in it.

It just doesn't help your teams work together.

R&D, quality, procurement and sales each work in their own system, so answers travel by email, meetings and spreadsheets. We connect what your systems already hold into one shared record, then build the tools on top that let every team work from it, your way.

ONE INGREDIENT, FIVE SYSTEMS, ONE RECORD The same ingredient has a different name in each system. We map them to one record, so every team talks about the same thing.

Good systems, working apart

Each system does its job. The problem is between them: the same product looks different in each one, and teams spend their time chasing answers.

Every team in its own system

R&D works in the ELN, quality in the QMS, procurement in the ERP. Nobody sees the whole product.

Answers travel by email

A simple question about a spec or a batch takes days of emails, meetings and exported spreadsheets.

Five names for one ingredient

Each system names and codes it its own way, so the data doesn't line up between teams.

The first step is a map of your own: which system holds what, and how data moves between your teams today.

1STEP 1 · FOOD DATA READINESS

We connect and organize what your systems hold

We take what your company already has, in your systems and outside them, and link it into one shared record every team can work from.

What we connect
PLM and specificationsERP and purchasingELN and lab dataQMS and COAsSensory panel resultsRegulatory documentsSpreadsheets and email
What you get back
  • One shared record for every ingredient, recipe and product, with each system's names and codes mapped to it
  • Specs, tests, panels and batches linked across systems, so every team sees the same picture
  • A map of where each piece of data lives, which system owns it, and how it flows between teams
  • Your data stays private, under NDA, and never trains outside models

2STEP 2 · BUILD ON TOP

Your tools, built on top, your way

Keep the systems your teams already like and connect them. Switch on AKA modules for everything else, from farm to fork. Or have us build what's missing. Everything reads from the same clean data.

Connect the systems you keep We connect them to the clean record instead of to a pile of files, so nothing has to be replaced on day one.

3STEP 3 · YOUR DATA AS A PRODUCT

Keep it clean, and make it useful everywhere

Clean data stays clean only if someone owns it. We set it up so your data keeps its value as it grows, and every new tool can use it.

Clear ownership

Who owns each type of record, the naming rules, and who can change what.

Checks on every new record

New specs, results and recipes are checked against your rules before they are saved.

A test set of your real questions

Your own questions with known answers, so you can check any AI tool, ours or anyone else's, before you trust it.

Secure access for your other tools

One governed connection, so your other systems and AI tools use the same clean data.

Your data is never sold or shared, and it never trains outside models.

How we work

Start small, see it on your own data, then decide.

1 Map your data flowsWe map your systems, your files and how data moves between your teams, before the decision coming up: a PLM contract, an acquisition, a new product line.
2 One dataset, under NDAShare one dataset. We clean a sample and show you the before and after on your own data.
3 Clean and organizeWe organize the full scope we agree on and map it into one record every team works from.
4 Build, then keep it cleanConnect or build the tools you need, and set up the checks that keep the data clean as it grows.
We agree the scope, timeline and price with you after we map your data flows.
