How It Works
Certificate to graph to recall response
Loamy connects three technical layers that food operations need but rarely have: automated certificate parsing, a structured lot-level graph, and a query engine built for FDA recall response.
Ingest supplier certificates
Suppliers submit Certificate of Analysis PDFs to a dedicated Loamy email address or upload directly through a supplier portal link. Loamy also accepts API-delivered documents from WMS and ERP systems. No supplier-side software required.
Parse Key Data Elements automatically
Loamy's document model extracts lot codes, harvest and pack dates, commodity descriptions, pesticide residue results, and supplier identifiers from unstructured PDFs, even when certificate layouts vary by supplier.
Nodes connect into a supply-chain graph
Loamy links each parsed record to existing nodes in your supply chain graph using lot code matching and supplier identifiers. A grower lot becomes a node; its downstream packing run becomes a connected node; the retail distribution becomes another. Every CTE is stored on the edge.
Query the graph during a recall
When a recall is issued, operations teams enter an ingredient, lot code, or supplier name. Loamy traverses the graph and returns every affected downstream lot, associated certificate, and physical location, formatted for an FDA records request response.
