Coherence
Safety, compliance, contracts, vendors, and plant intelligence in one system
Coherence helps industrial groups run high-risk plant work with evidence, governance, and AI support. It connects contractor compliance, gate access, permits, LOTO, calibration, shift handover, NCR/CAPA, statutory obligations, contracts, BOQ reconciliation, vendor behavior, downtime, consumables, tool custody, and visual work instructions.
Real-World Operating Problem
Industrial teams lose control when safety, gate, vendor, and contract data live in separate places.
Coherence is built around the contractor as the shared operating record. The same contractor who enters the gate, works on a permit, triggers an NCR, returns a tool, affects downtime, submits a bill, and bids for the next contract should carry one accountable history.
AI Operating Layer
AI that helps teams act, not just search
Coherence uses a multi-LLM provider strategy with support for Gemini and Google Vertex AI programs, OpenAI-compatible APIs, Anthropic-style models, OpenRouter, Ollama, and simulated offline fallback for testing. The product keeps AI grounded in workflow evidence, citations, permissions, and human approval.
Conversational Operations Copilot
Lets users ask questions across permits, SOPs, compliance records, vendor histories, shift logs, contracts, and dashboards without leaving the work context.
- How it helps: Supervisors get faster answers during daily operations.
- How it helps: AI output can be tied to source material instead of unsupported claims.
Agent Identity and Action Control
Agents can prepare drafts, surface exceptions, and recommend next steps while the platform preserves permissions, audit trail, and approval responsibility.
- How it helps: AI accelerates work without bypassing accountable decision makers.
- How it helps: Sensitive actions stay inside role-based control.
Photo, Document, and Form Intelligence
Supports image analysis, document extraction, form drafting, and evidence summarization for site reports, audits, safety observations, and compliance submissions.
- How it helps: Field evidence becomes structured review work faster.
- How it helps: Missing, expired, or inconsistent records are easier to spot.
Risk Signals Without Black-Box Scores
Vendor and contractor intelligence is presented as explainable signals: expired compliance, late closures, NCR patterns, overdue returns, permit discipline, and performance history.
- How it helps: Procurement can evaluate vendors using evidence, not guesswork.
- How it helps: Contractors can understand and contest the facts behind decisions.
Capability Map
Full Coherence suite capabilities
The platform is organized into practical operating zones so each buyer can adopt the modules they need while still building one connected industrial record.
Contractor Compliance and Gate Control
Worker master, contractor deployment, document validity, compliance state, principal-employer exposure, gate eligibility, vehicle matching, muster records, and returnable gate pass control.
- How it helps: Blocks expired or ineligible workers before they enter risk zones.
- How it helps: Gives security teams a clear allow, block, or escalate decision.
Permit to Work, LOTO, Calibration, and Visual SOP
High-risk permits, isolation points, gas tests, confined-space attendant logs, SIMOPS conflict detection, calibration fitness, worker acknowledgement of current instructions, and permit activation gates.
- How it helps: Prevents unsafe work from starting on incomplete permits.
- How it helps: Ensures crews acknowledge the current work instruction before execution.
NCR, CAPA, Audit, and Statutory Compliance
NCR state machine, CAPA ownership, compliance snapshots, audit findings, statutory obligation calendar, personal liability mapping, reminders, and escalation paths.
- How it helps: Converts findings into tracked corrective action.
- How it helps: Reduces missed dates for licenses, filings, inspections, and consents.
Commercial Control, CLM, and BOQ Reconciliation
BG, EMD, and SD tracking, invocation workflow, contract lifecycle management, variation orders, EOT, retention ledger, DPR-fed progress, BOQ-to-actual-to-invoiced reconciliation, and front-loading checks.
- How it helps: Finance sees contingent liability and payment risk before closure.
- How it helps: Contracts reflect actual site progress, not only paperwork.
Shift Handover, Downtime, OEE, and Consumables
Structured shift logs, auto-pulled active permits and downtime, production counts, OEE with data-quality tier, micro-stop patterns, consumable issue, expiry, standards, and rate-deviation review.
- How it helps: Incoming shifts see unresolved work and real equipment losses.
- How it helps: Consumable waste and abnormal usage patterns become visible.
Vendor, Contractor, and Tender Intelligence
Vendor behavior signals, contractor performance dossiers, disclosed evaluation criteria, bidder past-performance surfaces, tender intelligence, and procurement decision support.
- How it helps: Future awards can account for real execution quality.
- How it helps: Leadership sees repeat risk across plants, projects, and contractors.
Tool Crib and Material Movement
Tool issue, return, repair, custody, calibration-gated issue, returnable gate pass movement, and contract close-out checks for open tool obligations.
- How it helps: Contractors cannot silently exit with unresolved issued tools.
- How it helps: Unsafe or out-of-calibration instruments stay out of circulation.
Read Models, Asset Portal, Factory TV, and Search
QR asset portal, read-model wallboards, lost-feed state, org-scoped entity search, and audited retrieval across operational records.
- How it helps: Teams scan a location and see current facts instead of stale binders.
- How it helps: Dashboards show freshness so users know when a feed is no longer reliable.
Governed Forms, Notifications, and Workflow
Versioned forms, field provenance, approval flows, notification ladders, channel routing, non-suppressible emergency paths, templates, and durable delivery records.
- How it helps: Critical checks are governed once and reused across modules.
- How it helps: Escalation rules become platform behavior, not scattered promises.

Role-Based Value
How Coherence helps each team
The product is not a generic dashboard. It is designed around the daily decisions that industrial teams actually need to make.
Plant Head
See contractor readiness, high-risk permits, open shift items, downtime patterns, chronic losses, and unresolved safety actions across sites.
EHS Officer
Control PTW, LOTO, gas tests, calibration gates, statutory obligations, NCRs, CAPA owners, visual SOP acknowledgements, and audit readiness.
Security and Gate Team
Use clear eligibility decisions backed by worker status, deployment, contractor state, headcount rules, hazardous-zone requirements, and active restrictions.
Commercial and Finance
Track guarantees, retention, LD exposure, EOT, variation impact, BOQ variance, invoice risk, and contract close-out blockers from actual execution data.
Procurement
Review vendor behavior signals, contractor performance dossiers, tender evaluation context, disclosed criteria, and historical execution evidence.
Contractors and Vendors
Understand missing compliance items, permit readiness, returned tools, disputed events, open corrective actions, and the facts behind performance signals.
Trust Foundation
Built for controlled industrial environments
Coherence combines AI assistance with hard operational controls, auditability, and deployment patterns that fit plant environments.
Evidence and audit trail
Hash-chained audit logs, approval history, source-linked AI responses, event records, and immutable compliance snapshots help teams prove what happened and why.
Access and tenant control
Role-based permissions, organization scoping, contractor user boundaries, module entitlements, and protected routes keep operational data separated and controlled.
Plant-first architecture
Functional locations, hazard classification, gate decisions, safety workflows, and read models support plant execution rather than forcing teams into generic back-office software.
Configurable without losing governance
Forms, workflow definitions, notification ladders, standards, and escalation behavior are configurable with versioning and approval discipline.
