Answer ingredient requests from source evidence, not memory

When a customer asks for specs, allergens, origin, certifications, or COA support, Valent turns the request into a structured evidence task and shows what is ready to send, what needs review, and what is missing.

Request triage

Convert inbound customer requests into ingredient, supplier, SKU, and evidence requirements.

Source-backed answers

Tie every response line to a current spec, allergen statement, COA rule, certificate, origin file, or approved supplier record.

Controlled response

Let AI draft the response packet while QA decides what is safe to send externally.

Evidence model

What the workflow keeps connected

The page is built around the food and beverage evidence your team actually has to defend: supplier records, ingredient files, customer requests, certification scopes, and release decisions.

Ingredient identity

Internal item code, supplier, approved material name, SKU usage, and formulation context.

Technical documents

Specification, COA requirements, allergen declaration, nutrition facts support, packaging details, and lot coverage.

Claims and certifications

Organic, kosher, halal, non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, country-of-origin, and customer-specific statements.

Response history

Customer request, evidence used, reviewer notes, final packet, release timestamp, and version history.

Workflow

From incoming evidence to approved action

Valent does the routing and evidence assembly around the people who own the decision. Risky external sends and packet releases stay approval-gated.

Gap list
04

Approve the response packet

Generate a source-linked packet and hold it for reviewer approval before it leaves the business.

Released response
Controls

The page is useful because it can be defended

Customer-facing answers are drafted separately from approved released responses.
Claims without current source evidence are marked as gaps instead of filled by guesswork.
Ingredient, supplier, and SKU scope stay attached to each response packet.
The final release keeps the reviewer, source files, timestamp, and packet version.
