The problem

Quality managers investigating brand-owner and customer complaints spend time on work a system could do. This is what it costs today.

  • Brand owner complaints take 4-8 hours to investigate
  • Manually compiling production data, QC records, sensor logs
  • Quality manager time wasted on data gathering vs root cause
  • Slow response damages brand owner relationships

What the automation does

This AI-powered automation module connects to your existing systems, does the repetitive work, and leaves decisions with your team.

How modules connect to your plant

  1. Intercepts complaint email and extracts lot number automatically
  2. Auto-pulls all production data for that specific batch
  3. AI analyzes batch data for likely root cause patterns
  4. Drafts initial response with evidence for QM to review and approve

Prerequisites and limits

These systems and data need to be in place. If they are not, the assessment shows what infrastructure comes first, before you commit to a pilot.

  • Production data retention of 90+ days (batch records)
  • Lot traceability system (any format)
  • Email integration for complaint intake
  • 5+ complaints per month to justify the system

How success is measured

We agree the baseline and the success metric in writing before the pilot starts, then measure from your system data with weekly reports. If the agreed metric is not hit at 90 days, you get a full refund.
