AI Meets Audit Powerhouse: Qualifyze Launches Quality Insights Platform to Help Global Pharma Manage Supplier Site Risk

FRANKFURT, Germany, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Qualifyze, already the global leader in third-party audit services for the pharmaceutical industry, announces the launch of Quality Insights Platform, an AI-powered platform that transforms the world's largest pharmaceutical audit database into a strategic risk management tool.

Supply Chains on the Brink: Why Pharma Can't Afford to Wait

Ensuring timely availability of medicines has become one of the toughest challenges in pharma today. While current tariffs on US imports have spared the pharma sector for now, ripple effects across the global economy are here to stay and are intensifying cost pressure. Furthermore, the tightening of regulatory frameworks, growing geopolitical tensions, and climate-related disruptions make the need for agile, proactive site risk management undeniable.

Quality, Regulatory, and Procurement teams are under immense pressure. Juggling supplier data from multiple sources, many still rely on manual processes. This reactive approach leads to costly quality incidents, regulatory setbacks, and reputational risk—not to mention the operational stress for all involved.

Introducing Quality Insights Platform: A Smarter Way to Manage Site Risk

Enter Quality Insights Platform: an AI-powered co-pilot for quality and procurement professionals. Built on Qualifyze proprietary data from over 4,500 audits, complemented by information from regulator bodies, the platform delivers actionable intelligence. It flags quality risks before they materialize and supports faster supplier qualification, thereby strengthening supply chain resilience.

"This is not just another AI tool. Quality Insights adds a layer of accuracy, since it is trained on our proprietary Pharma audits database, the largest worldwide," said Dr. Schneider, CEO of Qualifyze. "With this solution, we deliver at least a 65% reduction in time and costs for new supplier qualification and proactive quality site risk management."

Almirall was one of several companies involved in the development of Quality Insights Platform. "The platform is intuitive to navigate, with detailed and objective information. Having a common ground of easy to share data for sourcing discussions with Procurement is a real advantage," said Miquel Romero, Quality Assurance Senior Director at Almirall.

Quality Insights Platform is available via a subscription model and requires no IT system setup. Learn more and request a demo at qualifyze.com.

By converting ordinary CCTV infrastructure into autonomous agents that recognize patterns, identify friction, and surface decisions, Wobot's AI Agents enable retailers to improve day-to-day operations with practical and measurable outcomes.

"By working with Supermicro and NVIDIA at the edge, we're able to deploy Video AI Agents in a way that's scalable, reliable, and focused on real-time operational insight—not experimentation," said Will Kelso, President, Revenue & Growth at Wobot AI.

• LiveX AI - "Retail is entering an era where AI agents become the default interaction layer between brands and customers," said Jerry Li, Co-Founder and CEO of LiveX AI. "With NVIDIA's accelerated AI and Supermicro's edge infrastructure, we can deploy a helpful, human-like AI agent directly in physical spaces—such as kiosks or holograms—bringing the speed, intelligence, and continuity of digital experiences into brick-and-mortar environments. This collaboration makes AI agents usable, in real time, where customers actually are."

• • Kinetic Vision and ALLSIDES are bundling their expertise for a True Digital Twin solution designed to develop, test, and optimize supply chain processes, checkout stations, and other complex systems.

"The combination of Supermicro's high reliability optimized infrastructure and NVIDIA's accelerated computing stack gives Kinetic Vision the foundation to innovate at speed. Together, we are helping retailers move from experimentation to production-ready AI solutions that drive measurable operational and customer experience gains," says Jeremy Jarratt, Kinetic Vision CEO.

Franz Tschimben, CEO at ALLSIDES, adds: "Building on the combined strengths of NVIDIA and Supermicro, we deliver a high-fidelity 3D digital twin data layer for AI training that enables retailers to power applications across the entire retail value chain — from training robots with physical AI, to production and production planning, virtual store layouts and consumer feedback systems, and e-commerce integrations — helping drive higher conversion rates, faster decision-making, and greater operational efficiency."

• Supermicro will also feature Superb AI's retail-focused VSS solution, combining Superb AI's proprietary VLM with NVIDIA AI Blueprint components to enable subjective reasoning capabilities, natural-language search, automated incident summarization, and customer behavior insights across store camera networks.
• Aible will highlight its automated agent solution, which analyzes vast amounts of data across millions of patterns to explain changes in retail KPIs, such as the average purchase amount or number of purchases. Aible will also demonstrate how the latest NVIDIA Retail blueprints can be incorporated into agentic solutions that automatically customize customer experiences and optimize retail operations at scale.

Arijit Sengupta, CEO of Aible, adds, "Today's market and labor conditions are constantly changing. Only autonomous agents can understand and adjust to these ever-changing patterns of customer behavior, inventory costs and supply, and labor access at scale. Working with NVIDIA and Supermicro, Aible brings autonomous agents subject to business user review to the retail edge."

These intelligent retail solutions will be demonstrated by Supermicro and its partners at NRF: Retail's Big Show in New York City from January 11-13.
