The AI-driven ingredient quality platform that turns the molecular signature of coffee, cocoa, tea and dairy into a digital fingerprint - and reads its identity, origin and quality in seconds.
Above: the ProfilePrint wordmark. Photographed like a lab specimen - a small Singapore company that convinced the giants of the food trade to agree on one thing: what quality looks like as data.
For a century, judging whether a sack of green coffee or a batch of cocoa was good enough rested with a trained human palate - skilled, slow, and impossible to scale. ProfilePrint captures that judgment as data.
Its patented digital food Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) technology pairs a proprietary near-infrared analyzer with machine learning. The device reads the molecular composition of a sample; the AI compresses that complex signal into a unique digital fingerprint, then predicts identity, origin and quality - often within seconds.
The result is a rapid, objective and shareable quality verdict where there used to be paperwork, guesswork and weeks of waiting. Buyers source better, sellers price fairly, and both sides trust the same number.

A proprietary NIR analyzer reads the molecular composition of an ingredient sample.
The platform synthesizes that data into a unique digital fingerprint - a food's molecular ID.
Custom AI models, trainable on a customer's own standards, compare the fingerprint against reference data.
Grading, origin, defects and adulteration - returned in seconds for faster sourcing calls.
Pass/fail checks, grading, origin detection, defect identification and adulteration detection - with customer-trainable AI models tuned to each buyer's exact standards.
A lightweight, specialized tool for rapid coffee quality assessment aimed at traders and roasters.
Extended wavelength range more than doubles data capture in seconds, unlocking processed foods, dairy, oils and liquids.
A compact AI model bringing accessible, AI-backed coffee analysis to more players across the supply chain.
In food trading, neutrality is the product. Buyers and sellers argue over quality every day - so a machine both sides trust is worth more than any single grader. That is why competing commodity giants all backed the same platform.
Approximate breadth of coverage across ingredient categories - illustrative, based on public statements about ProfilePrint's expanding analytical range.
Traditional testing means slow labs or subjective human grading. Off-the-shelf spectroscopy instruments read spectra but leave the interpretation to you. ProfilePrint differs on three fronts: it positions itself as a neutral third party both sides trust; it works at the molecular level to create a hard-to-fake digital ID; and it lets each customer build their own AI model instead of imposing one definition of quality.
The competitive set - lab testing, human cuppers, NIR instrument makers like FOSS or Bruker, and other agri-tech startups - rarely combines all three.
B2B cloud SaaS plus proprietary hardware. Agribusinesses, traders, manufacturers and cooperatives pay for platform access, custom model creation and per-sample assessments. Roughly 90% of revenue comes from international markets, on an estimated ~US$4M annual run rate with a team of about 30.
