Knowledge processes: the next frontier for innovation

About Unifize

To unlock the true potential of people and technology—including AI—we’ve reimagined how FDA- and ISO-compliant industries design, refine, and collaborate on knowledge processes.

Unify conversations, data, and workflows in a single, collaborative platform

Advancements such as lean methodologies, automation, and AI have transformed production efficiency. Yet, the systems used to manage compliance—such as QMS, PLM, and MES—create knowledge processes that are siloed, rigid, and onerous, limiting efficiency, productivity, and innovation.

Through decades of running FDA- and ISO-compliant companies, we saw firsthand how outdated tools dominate these markets and hold teams back.

Founded in 2018, Unifize integrates the entire process lifecycle, unifying teams and their conversations, documents, data, and workflows into a single source of truth that’s easy to implement and adapt as business needs change. By creating an intelligent, flexible, and collaborative platform, we help teams realize the Industry 5.0 vision of human-centric, resilient, and sustainable innovation beyond the shop floor.

Backed by leading institutional investors, including Seaplane Ventures, DeVC, and Techstars, we’re creating a new standard for knowledge processes—one that eliminates silos and rigidity, empowering FDA- and ISO-certified companies to manage risk and compliance while driving efficiency and accelerating innovation.

Traditional collaborative processes are time-intensive, error-prone, and stall time to market

At Unifize, we believe that building better products starts by unifying fragmented systems into a single source of truth. By optimizing how information flows between Product Development, Quality, and Operations teams, we help reduce risk, boost productivity, and accelerate time to market—all while ensuring regulatory compliance.



Unifize aspires to solve these challenges by creating a single source of truth for all collaborating teams across the value stream. Unifize consolidates the system of record with the system of collaboration and brings people, processes, and information together in a centralized platform.
