SUMMARY:The Hidden Cost of the Wrong Tools: How Spreadsheets and Generic ERPs Drain Your Profits

SUMMARY:Verify and Issue Certificates the AI Way—Fast\, Compliant\, and Effortless
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nAre certificate approval and generation processes slowing you down? \nFood manufacturers and packaging suppliers manage large volumes of Certificates of Analysis (CoAs) and Certificates of Conformity (CoCs) every day. Incoming certificates for purchased goods must be verified before use\, while certificates for finished products need to be issued quickly and accurately. Manual processes are slow\, error-prone\, and unsustainable as volumes grow—making automation essential. \nIn this exclusive webinar\, we will showcase how Intelligent Certificate VerificAItion (T/ICV) and Intelligent Certificate Generation (T/ICG) streamline certificate management. Powered by AI and Large Language Models (LLMs)\, T/ICV reduces average verification time from 20 minutes to under 5 minutes per document\, while T/ICG enables automated\, controlled certificate generation. \nKey takeaways: \n\nAutomatically extract and match data from certificates and specifications\nConfigure flexible layouts\, data sources\, and triggers for certificate generation\nTrigger workflows for manual intervention only when needed\nCentrally manage all inbound and outbound certificates with complete metadata and statusy\nExchange through GxP-ready workflows aligned with food safety standards
