COA · per batch
Stop copy-pasting Certificates of Analysis. Auto-generated, auto-attached, per batch, per dispatch.
Most food producers still build COAs in Word, copying the latest QC numbers across from a spreadsheet. It's tedious, error-prone, and embarrassing when the wrong batch ends up on Tesco's desk. Keystone generates a per-batch COA from your QC records and attaches it automatically to every dispatch.

Proof points
In one glance.
- Pre-filled from QC: weight, pH, salt, moisture, fat, water activity, allergens
- Customer-branded templates — your logo, their layout
- Auto-attached to dispatch PDFs and emails
- Audit trail per send — when, to whom, which version
How it works
The QC numbers you already record. Formatted automatically.
Your QC team enters batch results in Keystone — weight, pH, salt, moisture, whatever your spec requires. When that batch is dispatched, Keystone generates the COA from those exact numbers, against the template the customer expects, and attaches it to the dispatch note. One click. Zero copy-paste.
Customer-specific templates
Every customer wants their own layout. We have a designer for that.
- Drag-and-drop designer — Configure per-customer COA templates without writing code. Logo, fields, layout, signature block.
- Allergen matrix — Per-batch declared and possible-traces allergens. EU Regulation 1169/2011 compatible.
- Nutritional panel — Auto-calculated from recipe or hand-entered. Per 100 g and per serving.
- Digital signature — Signed PDF with your QA Manager's name and date. Optional cryptographic signing for high-trust customers.
FAQs
Frequently asked.
Can the COA be on the same PDF as the dispatch note?
Yes — single combined PDF or separate, customer-by-customer preference.
What about chain analyses run by external labs?
Upload the lab report — Keystone pulls the values into the COA fields and attaches the original lab PDF as a supporting document.
How are versions handled if QC re-tests?
Re-test triggers a new COA version, both versions retained, customer notified if the dispatch has already been sent.
Can I auto-email the COA on dispatch?
Yes — per-customer email rules, signed PDF, audit log of every send.
