Company Description
KNEAT COM INC (OTCQX: KSIOF), also referred to as Kneat or Kneat Solutions, is a software company focused on digitizing and automating validation and quality processes for organizations operating in highly regulated industries. The company is frequently described in its public communications as a leader in digital validation and quality process automation, with a particular emphasis on serving the life sciences and broader healthcare-related ecosystem.
Kneat’s core offering is its Kneat Gx digital validation platform. According to multiple company news releases, Kneat Gx enables highly regulated companies to manage any validation discipline from end-to-end. The platform is designed as no-code and highly configurable software that allows customers to digitize validation processes "their way." Public disclosures highlight that Kneat Gx replaces paper-based documentation with data-centric, real-time digital workflows, supporting validation activities across areas such as computer systems, equipment, facilities, commissioning, qualification, and related quality processes, as described in various customer win announcements.
Kneat reports that its platform is fully ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified, fully validated, and 21 CFR Part 11/Annex 11 compliant, aligning it with widely recognized quality management and information security standards, as well as electronic records and electronic signatures regulations referenced in its press releases. Independent customer studies cited by the company indicate that use of Kneat Gx has been associated with reductions of up to around half in labor hours or man-hours associated with validation documentation, and accelerated review and approval cycles by up to about 50%. Other company communications also reference shorter validation cycle times, faster speed to market, and higher standards of regulatory compliance as reported outcomes from customer implementations.
Business focus and customer base
Across its news releases, Kneat consistently describes itself as working with leading companies in highly regulated industries. These include organizations in the life sciences sector such as pharmaceutical, biotech, medical technology, clinical diagnostics, and generic pharmaceutical manufacturers, as well as companies in adjacent regulated fields like healthcare technology and equipment and technology manufacturing that serve healthcare and other regulated markets. The company notes that its customers often operate across dozens of countries, run numerous manufacturing sites, and employ tens of thousands of people, underscoring that Kneat’s software is used in large-scale, multi-site deployments.
In several public announcements, Kneat states that its platform is used by many of the world’s leading life sciences companies, including some of the largest pharmaceutical companies, to digitally validate quality processes. The company emphasizes that its software is selected after competitive evaluations of digital validation solutions, with customers citing factors such as ease of use, no-code configurability, multi-use-case flexibility, and reliable data integrity. Kneat also highlights an "excellent record for implementation," which it attributes to a combination of user-focused design, expert support, and an on-demand training academy referenced in its "About Kneat" sections.

Based on examples in its news releases, Kneat Gx is applied to a range of validation and quality-related disciplines. Publicly described use cases include:
