Quality moves fast. Controlled SAP processes should too.

Certificates of analysis, inspection results, quality specifications, supplier documents, batch records and customer orders โ€” Artificio captures and understands the documents your regulated operation runs on, validates them against live SAP data and your business rules, routes exceptions to the right expert, and executes approved transactions in SAP.

The problem

Quality decisions wait on documents being read.

Certificates of analysis, inspection results, specifications and batch records arrive from suppliers and labs in every format, and each is transcribed into SAP by hand before a batch can move.

What comes into Artificio

From regulated documents to SAP-ready data.

Quality and supply-chain evidence rarely arrives in one clean format. Artificio converts the incoming document into structured data while keeping the original evidence attached to the business process.

  • Quality & laboratory

    • Certificates of Analysis (COAs)
    • Lab and inspection results
    • Quality specifications
    • Inspection methods and plans

    • Supplier certificates
    • Material specifications
    • Technical data sheets
    • Supplier onboarding forms
    • Master-data requests
  • Commercial & operational

    • Invoices
    • Delivery documents
    • Excel and structured files
    • Forms, scans and images

What Artificio does

Extraction is only the first step.

Artificio combines document intelligence, SAP business context, validation, controlled human review and transaction execution in one automation layer.

Across the operation

Automation by life sciences function.

One platform across quality, procurement, master data and commercial operations โ€” with SAP context carried through every step.

  • 01

    Quality Results & COA Automation

    SAP QMLife Sciences specialty

    Read supplier COAs, lab reports and inspection evidence; identify the material, batch or lot; map tests to the correct characteristics; validate limits and units; flag out-of-specification results; and record approved results in SAP QM.

  • 02

    Quality Master Data

    SAP QM ยท Master Data

    Convert inspection specifications, methods, plans and sampling information from documents and spreadsheets into governed SAP-ready structures, with validation and expert approval before execution.

  • 03

    Supplier & Material Onboarding

    SAP MM ยท Business Partner ยท Master Data

    Collect supplier, material and compliance information through configurable forms, request supporting documents, validate the submission, route approvals and create clean governed data for SAP.

  • 04

    Invoice & Procurement Automation

    SAP FI ยท MM

    Capture supplier invoices and procurement documents, match them against SAP purchasing and receipt data, handle discrepancies through workflow and post clean transactions to SAP.

  • 05

    Customer Order Automation

    SAP SD

    Turn customer purchase orders received by email, PDF, spreadsheet or portal into validated SAP sales orders, with customer/material mapping and exception handling before creation.

  • 06

    Controlled Document-to-SAP Workflows

    Cross-functional

    Build governed workflows around documents, forms, approvals, email and SAP actions so source evidence, reviewer decisions and SAP responses remain connected to the transaction.

Built for exceptions

Automation that knows when quality needs a person.

Regulated operations should not force uncertain data through a straight-through process. Artificio automates the clear cases and deliberately stops when confidence, specifications or SAP context require expert judgment.

  • OOS

    Out-of-specification result

    1. Detect OOS
    2. Hold
    3. Quality review
    4. Decision
    5. Approved SAP action
  • LOT

    Ambiguous inspection lot

    1. Detect ambiguity
    2. Present SAP context
    3. Reviewer selects
    4. Continue
  • MIC

    COA test does not map to a MIC

    1. Flag unmapped characteristic
    2. Quality mapping
    3. Approve
    4. Record
  • UOM

    Unit or specification mismatch

    1. Validate
    2. Detect mismatch
    3. Review
    4. Correct or reject
    5. Execute

More than document AI

Why life sciences teams shouldn't stop at OCR.

Reading a COA is useful. Knowing what the result means in the context of the SAP material, batch, inspection lot, characteristic, specification and workflow is what turns extraction into operational automation.

Works with your SAP landscape

Automate the process without replacing the system of record.

Artificio sits alongside your SAP environment and uses standard enterprise integration to bring document intelligence, rules, workflows and controlled execution to the processes that still depend on manual interpretation.

  • ECC & S/4HANA

    Support the SAP landscape you run today while keeping the automation layer independent of a core migration.
  • Human-in-the-loop

    Low-confidence, OOS, missing-characteristic and policy-sensitive cases can stop for expert review instead of being forced through.
  • Traceable by design

    Keep source evidence, extracted data, transformations, reviewer decisions, integration requests and SAP responses together.

Where time disappears

What does manual quality-document processing cost?

Multiply the number of COAs, lab reports, inspection records and master-data requests by the minutes spent reading, matching, validating, entering and checking each one. Then add the cost of delayed releases, rework and investigations when evidence is fragmented.

Customer proof pattern

From quality document to governed SAP QM record.

A life sciences quality team can route incoming COAs and inspection documents through Artificio, identify the relevant SAP context, map and validate characteristics, stop exceptions for expert review, and execute approved records in SAP โ€” while preserving the original evidence with the transaction.

Questions quality & SAP teams ask

Answers before the demo.

Which quality documents can Artificio handle?
Certificates of analysis, inspection results, quality specifications, supplier documents, batch records and customer orders.
How does a COA become an SAP result?
Artificio reads the certificate, validates the material, batch, inspection lot and characteristic it refers to, and records the result against them โ€” rather than a person transcribing values into SAP.
What happens to an out-of-specification result?
It is routed to the quality expert rather than recorded. Ambiguous inspection lots, a test that does not map to a characteristic, and unit or specification mismatches are handled the same way.
Is the process controlled?
The source document, the decision trail and the resulting SAP transaction are preserved together, so what was decided and by whom stays available after the fact.
Which teams does it cover?
Quality results and COA automation, quality master data, supplier and material onboarding, invoice and procurement automation, and customer order automation.
