Implementation-focused summary
From fragmented documents to searchable intelligence
Built to reduce time spent digging through PDFs and supplier portals, while increasing consistency in evaluation and decision traceability.
Problem
Researchers and procurement teams faced fragmented chemical information across SDS documents, supplier catalogs, and internal notes. Comparing alternatives was slow, and governance checks (hazards, compliance constraints) were difficult to apply consistently.
Solution
A chemical intelligence platform that ingests heterogeneous sources, structures key fields, and provides a unified search and comparison experience. The system supports research workflows while keeping procurement and governance needs in view.
How it works
Ingestion
Documents + catalogs + internal inputs transformed into a consistent schema.
Search
Fast retrieval of chemicals by properties, hazards, and procurement constraints.
Governance
Decision-ready views that surface risks and support consistent evaluation.
Architecture & Stack
- Document ingestion + extraction of structured chemical fields.
- Search and ranking tailored to R&D and procurement queries.
- Comparison views for alternatives and substitute analysis.
- Audit-friendly design for traceability of evaluations and selections.
Impact
- Reduced research time spent locating and extracting key properties.
- Improved consistency in screening for hazards and constraints.
- Created a foundation for scalable chemical data operations across teams.
Your role
Owned data modeling, ingestion/extraction workflows, and the user-facing search + comparison experience, with a focus on reliability and governance alignment.
