“We are proud to say that the most widely used quality and compliance management system in the world has even more automation for COAs.”
COAs are documents issued by quality assurance teams to confirm that finished product batches meet established specifications, as well as those of key regulatory authorities. COAs also verify actual results of product quality testing, including conditions and parameters, ingredient specifications, approval signatures and dates, along with chain of custody information.
ReposiTrak’s automated COA capabilities adds another level of transparency and compliance assurance for manufacturers and distributors by improving the quality and reducing the workload associated with inbound shipment controls.
“Manufacturers and suppliers need COAs from their suppliers to confirm that inbound product shipments meet their quality specifications, but manually tracking, managing and verifying COAs received by email is time-consuming and inefficient,” explains Randy Fields, chairman and CEO of ReposiTrak. “As a result, COA processes fail due to the tedious, time-consuming labor required for manual reviews, which increase the risk of product quality issues.”
ReposiTrak’s COA compliance solution utilizes Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software, which reads and validates the documents against established parameters and generates automatic alerts and notifications when a data field is flagged.

Automating the collection and storage of COAs to limited exceptions places the emphasis on proactive, preventative quality controls for inbound ingredient or product shipments, which Fields says vastly improves accuracy and sharply reduces the burdensome document gathering functions that are tedious yet essential to on-point compliance management.
“Automating COAs adds tremendous value to compliance teams by freeing up their valuable time to concentrate on more pressing priorities required of their roles,” Fields affirms. “We are proud to say that the most widely used quality and compliance management system in the world has even more automation for COAs.”
