The Problem
Your COA process is a liability waiting to surface.
A spreadsheet doesn't chase suppliers. An inbox doesn't flag overdue batches. And when an auditor asks for the trail, nobody remembers where they saved it.
-
Manual chasing
Your team spends hours every week writing the same follow-up emails to the same suppliers.
-
No central record
COAs land in inboxes, get forwarded around, and end up saved somewhere nobody can find at audit time.
-
Audit scramble
When an inspector arrives, piecing together the trail from emails and spreadsheets takes days. It shouldn't.
How it works
From purchase order to audit trail. Automatically.
Every purchase order triggers automatic monitoring. Suppliers are chased on schedule, escalating if they go quiet. When a COA arrives, it's parsed, linked to the right batch, and logged with a full timestamp. By the time an auditor walks in, the trail is already built.
-
01
PO raised
The moment a purchase order goes out, Opscera logs it and begins tracking the expected COA. No manual entry.
-
02
Supplier chased
If a COA hasn't arrived within the expected window, the system chases the supplier automatically — escalating through stages until you get a response.
-
03
COA received and stored
When the COA arrives, it's parsed, linked to the correct batch and supplier, and stored in a structured record. The audit trail updates instantly.
Stay ahead with automation
Every missing COA is a problem waiting to surface.
A spreadsheet doesn't chase suppliers. An inbox doesn't flag overdue batches. And when an auditor asks for the trail, nobody remembers where they saved it.

Who it's for
Built specifically for UK nutraceutical manufacturers.
Opscera is built for UK nutraceutical manufacturers managing multiple suppliers, regular batch releases, and growing compliance obligations (with a QA team that's doing more than it should have to). If your COA process runs on emails, spreadsheets, and institutional knowledge, and you've felt that in an audit, Opscera replaces it with something that actually holds up.
Beyond COA tracking
Every manufacturer has a process that shouldn't still be manual.
Opscera was built around COA tracking because it's where compliance risk concentrates but it's rarely the only manual process in the building. Batch record compilation, supplier onboarding, expiry monitoring, internal reporting, if it runs on spreadsheets and institutional knowledge, it can be automated. If you have something specific in mind, let's talk.
FAQ
Common questions.
Is my data secure?
All data is processed and stored in line with UK GDPR. Your supplier information, batch records, and COA documents are handled by vetted providers under appropriate data transfer agreements. We don't share your data with third parties.
Can this integrate with my existing systems?
Opscera is built to work alongside what you already use. If you're raising POs in an ERP or storing documents in an existing system, we'll map the integration during your process audit. Most setups don't require you to change anything.
What happens when something falls outside the normal process?
Exceptions are handled explicitly rather than ignored. When a COA can't be matched, a supplier goes silent, or something doesn't fit the expected pattern, the system flags it, logs it and alerts the right person. Nothing disappears quietly.
How do I know Opscera will deliver?
We start with a free process review before any commitment. You'll see exactly what we're proposing, how it works, and what it will change before you decide anything. If it doesn't make sense for your operation, we'll tell you.
How long does implementation take?
Most implementations are live within two to three weeks. The first session maps your process. The second configures and tests the system against your actual suppliers and materials. By the third week you're running.
