Building the backbone of Industry 5.0

About Unifize

Industry 5.0 is about connecting people and technology to drive innovation and efficiency. Unifize brings everything together—people, processes, and data—into a cloud-based platform to help regulated industries adapt faster, work smarter, and innovate.

Why we’re here: to humanize the world’s processes

Unifize results from our firsthand experience running FDA and ISO-compliant manufacturing companies for many years. We lived through the frustration of fragmented systems and outdated tools that dominate these industries, which ultimately slow innovation, increase operational risks, and stifle what makes us human: our ability to connect, collaborate, and solve real-world problems creatively.

Founded in 2018, Unifize aims to humanize the world’s processes by building a single, unified platform that connects people, processes, and data. By combining the system of record with the system of collaboration, we empower teams to communicate in context, accelerate cycle times, and reduce the friction that holds organizations back.

Backed by leading, Tier 1 institutional investors, including Techstars ($850m AUM), we’re committed to building the backbone of Industry 5.0—where human-centric workflows, agility, and innovation thrive.

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.
