Operating system for food and beverage production

One system for everything you make, move and have to prove.

SCIS reads the delivery notes, certificates and emails that arrive at your door anyway, holds them against what should have been true, and tells you what is open — before the auditor, the retailer or the customer asks.

One document is enough. You see what becomes of your own paperwork — no project, no login.

Checked against order PO-2026-00042

What it became
  • Lot 340028 on the shelf — 96 kg, traceable
  • Order line ticked off, date confirmed
  • Open: certificate of analysis still missing

No typing, no searching. These are documents that arrive at your door — and what SCIS makes of them.

The problem

Does this happen in your operation?

“Where is the delivery note for lot 340030?” — and three people start looking. None of these exposures start in production. All of them end with you.

Liability

A recall becomes a search party

You answer for every batch — including the ones filled in plants you do not own. When the authority calls, what counts is how fast you produce the customer list. Today that is days in folders.

The listing

The retailer grades you

A wrong label, a late order confirmation: first the chargeback, then the service score. Your biggest customers grade you on paperwork you do by hand — and a listing is lost faster than it was won.

Margin

You find out at year end

Write-offs, stockouts, and deposits in circulation. Few owners can say how much returnable packaging is out with customers right now — it sits on their balance sheet as a liability.

Dependence

It runs in three people's heads

Who keys the orders when that person is off for three weeks? A business that runs in a few heads cannot be scaled, and is discounted by anyone valuing it.

One root cause: the evidence arrives as documents and stops there. Nothing measures it against what should have been true — so nobody knows what is open until somebody asks.

How it works

Every other system waits for someone to type it in.

SCIS makes two promises. Capture what is there: whatever your systems, your suppliers and your fillers can give, comes in complete — no document is lost on the way. Measure what is missing: that actual state is held, continuously, against what should be true. Three jobs sit in between, and almost nobody automates even one.

Job one — capture what is there

The Inbox does the data entry

A certificate of analysis arrives as a PDF. A delivery note as a phone photo. An order as free text in an email. Drop in any document, or connect a system — SCIS turns the mess into clean, checked data. No typing, and nothing lost on the way: what a document holds is in the system afterwards in full — including the fields nobody asks for today.

1

Structure

Reads any unstructured document — PDFs, scans, photos, emails — and extracts the values.

2

Enrich

Cross-references your ERP, quality system and partner data, and fills in what the document left out.

3

Check

Validates against your specs and rules, and flags anything off — you resolve it in one click.

4

Hand off

Accounting exports ready to post, EDI out to the retailer, an API for your ERP. Nobody re-keys.

What it already eats

Certificates of analysis  ·  quality protocols  ·  delivery notes  ·  purchase and sales orders  ·  price lists  ·  recipes and bills of material  ·  EDI messages

Nothing becomes data unseen: every extraction lands on a review screen where you confirm it — or correct it in one click, including the AI's verdict on a quality protocol.

Job two — measure what should be true

And then it checks the work

Your ERP believes whatever it is told. It has no idea what that value should have been, whether the supplier's own limit matches yours, or which document should have arrived and never did. The reference model holds what should be true — from purchasing through production to sale — and measures every process against it.

A batch stays an open liability until it is closed
Plan→Source→Spec→Produce→Release→Pack→Ship→Sold→Closed— sold, past shelf-life, crates returned, clear of any recall
“Your co-packer's form says PASS. SCIS says: measured 3.9 against your limit of 3.5 — and the parameter you require was never measured at all.”

It knows what should be there

Not “is this certificate valid?” but “is the incoming-goods CoA, the spec, the release analysis even on file?” A required set of evidence for every stage.

It judges against your limits

Every measured value graded against the spec you hold — not the limit printed on the supplier's own form. A form that quietly skips a test is a number, not a blank space.

It surfaces the gaps itself

Missing evidence and out-of-spec values rise to the top on their own. The team works a short exception list, not hundreds of batches one by one.

Job three — the gaps surface by themselves

You do not have to know what to look for

Searching only finds what you already suspect. That is exactly why gaps survive for years in well-run companies: nobody asks the question, because nobody knows it is open. SCIS asks it for you — on one screen, every day, unprompted. The gap is not a defect in the system but the finding itself: it shows how far your data sits from the ideal state today.

The batch never released

Produced, sold, never released. Noticed at year-end, if at all.

The lot with no certificate

The raw material sits in the warehouse, the certificate never came — and it was used.

The order with nothing behind it

Shipped with no batch attached. A recall that cannot be executed.

The material short next week

The production plan is set, the sugar is not enough. Visible eight weeks out, not on the day of the run.

Including when your buyer is on holiday. What your people carry in their heads is written down once — the specification, the document that must arrive, the date that was promised, the minimum on the shelf. After that the system does the checking, not the person. That is the difference between a business that runs in three heads and one you can hand over.

The jobs, live

Watch it happen on one document.

Follow a co-packer's certificate of analysis: read without typing, judged against your own specification, and traced back to the supplier and forward to every customer.

What these three jobs make possible

Not a feature list.

These are what you get once the data is clean and the system knows your rules.

Operations

Runs itself, quietly

  • Stock you can trust

    Live by location, lot and expiry. Every receipt, production, issue and correction on one ledger.

  • Oldest ships first

    Picking is pointed at what expires soonest, so less product is written off.

  • What to make next

    On hand against open orders, so a shortfall shows up before a customer finds it.

Evidence

Nothing ships unproven

  • Conformance per co-packer

    Every batch graded against your specs — across sites you don’t own.

  • Recall in seconds

    Back to the supplier, forward to every customer. Not a week in binders.

  • Audit-ready by default

    The dossier assembles itself, because the evidence was checked on arrival.

Commercial

The trade side keeps up

  • Retailer EDI end to end

    Orders, despatch advice, invoices and SSCC pallet labels in the format buyers demand.

  • Deposits stop leaking

    Returnable crates and Pfand tracked per partner, with the liability on the balance sheet.

  • Books close faster

    Revenue, purchase costs and stock movements exported ready to post.

Nine capabilities, two mechanisms. Take away the Inbox and the reference model and every one of them becomes manual again.

What changes

One change shows up in the clock.

The other shows up in what you can rely on — and that one lasts longer.

Today
With SCIS
Recall trace: a search party through binders and inboxes
Days → minutes: one query across the whole chain
Audit prep: weeks of assembling the dossier by hand
Weeks → hours: it assembles itself, because the evidence was checked on arrival
Documents retyped into a second system, and a third
Retyped → read once: the Inbox captures it, nobody re-keys
Every batch reviewed, because you cannot tell which one is wrong
A short exception list: you work what is actually wrong

One number, not three

Stock, orders and evidence in one place. Nobody reconciles spreadsheets before a meeting any more.

Entered once, or never

The Inbox captures it, so transcription errors stop at the door instead of travelling downstream.

Judged against your rules

Every value graded on the spec you hold — not the limit printed on somebody else’s form.

Provable on demand

The stock ledger reconciles: opening balance plus every movement equals what is on the shelf.

We don't publish percentage savings. In the pilot we measure your baseline first — hours per order, time to invoice, stock-out cost, audit effort — and then show you the difference on your own numbers.

Two models, both live

A system that thinks ahead — and does not decide.

The one that matters most is the one you stop noticing.

Unstructured → structured

Reads certificates of analysis, delivery notes, orders and quality protocols. Extracts the values, classifies the document, matches it to the right order or batch. This is the model that does the most work in SCIS by a wide margin — every document that arrives, every day.

Demand forecast

A statistical baseline that the AI adjusts, never a number the model invented on its own. Seasonality and trend come from your history; the adjustment sits next to the baseline so you can see it, argue with it, and override it.

The guardrail

The AI reads and suggests. It does not decide. Every value it extracts is judged against your own rules by plain, repeatable logic — same input, same verdict, every time — and nothing becomes data before somebody has seen it. Where a model would have to guess, SCIS asks instead.

Proof

Real customers. See it on your own products.

You don't have to take our word for it — SCIS runs in production today on real customer data.

Who it's for

Built for FMCG operators — not startups.

If you make, fill or distribute consumer goods at mid-market scale, SCIS is built for your day.

Producers & distributors

Running real volume across many SKUs, sites and customers — managing stock, orders, invoicing, deposits and recall every day.

Co-packers & contract manufacturers

Juggling batches, BOMs, customer stock and dock schedules — needing traceability and tight operations without an enterprise rollout.

Multi-site groups

One control tower across plants and warehouses — real-time stock per location, group-to-site-to-SKU visibility.

Where you start

Two ways in. Neither needs your data in order first.

The usual objection is a fair one: we have to fix the basics before we can use something like this. You don't. Both of these run on work you already do, and produce something in the first weeks that nobody in the company has today.

Door A

The documents that arrive anyway

Forward the inbox. Certificates of analysis, specifications, delivery notes and invoices are read, filed, and matched to the lot or the order they belong to — each one confirmed once by a person before it becomes data. Inside a week, “where is the CoA for lot X” has an answer that is not a search.

Needs an email address. No master data, no migration, no clean-up first.

Door B

The deposit standing outside your gate

If you deliver in returnable crates or kegs, book the deliveries and returns you already book. You get what is in circulation per crate type and per customer, the return and breakage rates, and the deposit liability as a number rather than an estimate.

Needs your customers and your crate types. Nothing else.

What we do not propose: a migration, a data clean-up project, or replacing your accounting. If the first step brings nothing, you have lost weeks, not a year.

What we need from you

Every system you have bought was sold as effortless.

Here is the part that isn't — and none of it is needed for either door above. This is what the reference model costs, once you want SCIS checking against your own standard.

Hours

Master data

Products, partners, locations, units and pack sizes. You send an export from whatever you run today; the AI import maps and loads it. You check a sample, not every row.

The real work

Your specs and rules

The reference model can only check against a standard you actually hold. Specifications, limits and required documents have to become data. We extract them from your existing paperwork — but your QM signs off every one, and nobody else can do that part.

Days

Recipes and opening stock

Bills of material, and what is on the shelf on day one. Both import; both need somebody who knows the product to confirm them before you rely on the numbers.

We would rather say this now than in month two. Most of it we do for you; the specs are yours and there is no way around that. Which is why the first thing we sell is a scoped look at your data — not a licence.

Complex technology behind it. Radical simplicity for your team.

Nobody standing at the line has time for a training programme. A document goes in, a screen shows what is open, a short list gets worked off. What happens behind it — reading, matching, measuring, tracing — is our work, not yours. Software that takes work away from day one instead of adding it.

How a start actually looks.

Three steps, and you see it on your own products before you commit to anything.
