FoodLogiQ Q1 2026 Release: New COA Tools for Faster Reviews and Better Visibility

 The Q1 2026 FoodLogiQ release introduces new support for one of the most important parts of supplier compliance work: managing Certificates of Analysis in a more structured, actionable way. With new tools for capturing COA data and moving submitted documents through review more efficiently, this release helps food safety teams spend less time sorting through paperwork and more time acting on the information that helps keep food safe. 

A better way to manage Certificates of Analysis

Certificates of Analysis are a standard part of supplier and receiving workflows across the food industry. They help document that a product or ingredient was tested against defined specifications, whether those checks relate to quality, safety, or other required attributes.

The challenge is usually not getting the document from suppliers. It is reviewing it quickly and consistently.

 COAs often contain the details teams care about most, like lot information, test results, and pass-fail criteria. But when that information comes in through different formats, from different suppliers, and with different levels of detail, review can slow down. Teams end up spending more time sorting through documents and less time acting on what they find.

That is what makes the new COA document type a meaningful update. FoodLogiQ Compliance now includes a dedicated COA document type with default fields for details like purchase order, reference document number, and lot or batch. It also adds a COA table so teams can track product properties and acceptable values in a defined unit of measure. 

 The real benefit is consistency. Instead of treating COAs as one more file to upload and review manually, teams can work from a format built for the document they are already using. That makes it easier to compare records, spot missing information, and keep supplier documentation organized in one place.

Built for the review work that happens after submission 

Adding a COA document type is only part of the story. The next piece is what teams can do with that document once it is submitted.

FoodLogiQ now supports automatic transitions in Document Approval Flows, including transitions based on COA table values. That gives teams a more efficient way to sort incoming COAs and move them through review based on the information they contain.
For food safety professionals, that is where the real value starts to show. COA review is often time-sensitive. Teams need to know whether a submission is complete, whether reported values fall within acceptable ranges, and whether anything needs closer review before materials move forward. A workflow that color-codes and helps route documents based on those details can reduce manual triage and help teams respond faster.

Looking Ahead to Meet What's Next

The Q1 2026 FoodLogiQ release is built around practical improvements to high-value work. The new COA document type gives teams a better way to capture and organize a critical supplier record. The new COA table in Products helps define the properties, allowable ranges, and required data points teams want to review against. Workflow updates help route submitted COAs more efficiently and make document status easier to read. And the new ability to copy user permissions saves time when setting up new accounts.

Taken together, these updates support a more structured review process and a smoother day-to-day experience for the teams managing supplier compliance.
