Kemchain enables Purchasing and Compliance teams to automate supplier and ingredient qualification by extracting and structuring data from technical and regulatory documents. This reduces manual work, improves supplier comparison, and creates a more reliable and audit-ready process.

Business challenge

Teams in Purchasing, Quality Control, Quality Assurance, Regulatory, Sustainability, and R&D often manage large volumes of ingredients and supplier documentation. Manual validation of technical data sheets, safety data sheets, and regulatory files takes significant time, introduces errors, and makes it difficult to compare suppliers objectively, even when the ingredient quality is equivalent.

Solution

Kemchain uses AI to ingest and structure supplier documentation, including TDS, SDS, and CoA files, removing the need for manual data entry. The platform also manages document updates proactively, compares new versions with previous ones, supports side-by-side supplier benchmarking, detects changes in real time, and links regulatory alerts directly to impacted ingredients and suppliers.

Key capabilities

Automated ingestion
Extracts and structures data from supplier documents automatically.

Document lifecycle management
Requests updated files before expiration and compares them against earlier versions.

Comparative qualification
Normalizes ingredient data to make supplier comparison easier across equivalent quality grades.

Real-time traceability
