About the LEHVOSS Group

The LEHVOSS Group, founded in 1894 and headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, is a global player in speciality chemicals, minerals, and performance materials. With operations across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, they supply industries like pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, food & beverage, and advanced manufacturing.

Challenge

  • Scattered Documents
  • Precious time spent searching
  • High risk of errors
success-icon2

Solution

RightOrigins by CIED centralised the data to make a smart, digital knowledge base that enabled

  • Quick access to documents whenever needed
  • Automated response to queries and questionnaires

The result

Before

  • Data scattered across 100+ folders
  • High error rate due to version mismatch
  • Manual update
  • Manual search to prepare questionnaire answers

After

  • Centralised knowledge base with search and filters
  • Conflict-free, human approved data
  • AI-powered updates and classification
  • Automated response to Quality, compliance and other questionnaires

The challenge

Over the years, LEHVOSS built a rich repository of documents. From quality certificates and supplier statements to customer RFIs and sustainability reports, every document was stored manually across multiple systems.

But with the growth came a serious problem: no centralized visibility. Their quality and compliance teams were spending precious time manually digging through folders to find the right documents or data points. Response to inquiries from partners, auditors, or internal teams slowed down due to:

challenge1.svg

Unstructured and duplicated files

challenge2.svg

No standard classification or tagging

challenge3.svg

Outdated data mixed with newer versions

challenge4.svg

Inefficient manual extraction processes

It was time-consuming, error-prone, and simply not scalable. What they needed was clarity, structure, and speed — all without replacing existing systems or overburdening their teams.

LEHVOSS' approach and vision

In an industry where compliance, precision, and responsiveness define leadership, the LEHVOSS Group's Magnesia division continues to set benchmarks—not only through its technical expertise but also in the way it embraces innovation.

As global customer expectations evolve and quality documentation becomes increasingly complex, LEHVOSS recognized an opportunity to lead by example. Rather than adapting reactively to mounting data demands, the team took a forward-looking stance: to proactively explore how AI could support a more intelligent, structured, and scalable approach to managing product and supplier data

Their vision wasn't just about solving today's challenges—it was about laying the groundwork for a smarter, more resilient data ecosystem.

LEHVOSS aimed to create a scalable foundation that could unify fragmented information, support AI-driven insights, and empower teams across functions to work with speed, confidence, and clarity.

How RightOrigins helped bring the vision to life

LEHVOSS collaborated with RightOrigins and employed our RightData platform for a focused pilot. RightData is an AI-powered tool designed to transform unstructured documents into structured, traceable, and searchable knowledge assets.

Together, the teams scoped a use case centred on building a Single Source of Truth (SSOT) for quality and regulatory documentation—a foundation that could support smarter inquiry handling, supplier data verification, and internal reporting.

To make this possible, RightData deployed a team of AI agents each with a specific task, coordinated by an AI Orchestration Layer that mirrored key data workflows.

The approach emphasized not only automation but also control and traceability. CIED's architecture introduced:

Modular workflows

which could be extended or adapted to future domains such as compliance, customer documentation, or procurement. These workflows also support the scalable integration of additional specialized agents, capable of building on the SSOT to handle emerging needs.

Secure, privacy-compliant operations

with no use of proprietary data for model training and adherence to internal data protection guidelines.

This setup allowed LEHVOSS to remain in full control of its data while benefiting from scalable automation—a balance crucial in regulated sectors.

“CIED brought more than technology to the table—they brought alignment with our operational mindset. Together, we’ve not only solved a pressing data management challenge but also created a digital foundation for scalable, cross-functional use cases.”

— Dr. Alexander Sunder, Director, Business Unit Magnesia, LEHVOSS Group

The Result

The pilot delivered clear results across multiple dimensions:

result1.svg

Efficiency

Reduction in the time spent compiling and responding to quality documentation
result2.svg

Accuracy

Significant improvement in extraction precision across diverse document types.

Scalability

The solution architecture is adaptable across departments and use cases, ensuring long-term business value.
By centralizing structured knowledge into an SSOT, LEHVOSS has positioned itself to respond faster, minimize risk, and unlock new possibilities in digital compliance and supply chain visibility.

How the Pilot Improved LEHVOSS' Quality Control Documentation

The initial pilot focused on quality and compliance documentation—a high-impact domain with clear governance and measurable value. LEHVOSS used RightData to process multiple documents, including:

AI agents parsed these documents, extracted key data points, and indexed them into the SSOT. Quality teams could then retrieve validated answers via intelligent search or document response modules—removing the need to manually scan folders or rely on tribal knowledge.

  • Supplier declarations (e.g., allergen, dietary, chemical contaminant statements)
  • Regulatory compliance records
  • Product specifications
  • Past RFIs and questionnaires

“Working with the CIED team was straightforward, efficient, and collaborative. Their agility in mapping our requirements into the AI workflows and their responsiveness throughout the pilot made the entire engagement a success. The solution is successfully bringing our vision to life, and is already offering further enhancements.”

What’s next?

Following the success of this pilot, LEHVOSS is now extending the architecture to live environments and additional use cases. This includes deeper IT integration, ongoing refinement of SSOT interaction layers, and exploration of intelligent customer agents that can unify internal and external communication data.

The long-term impact? A more agile, transparent, and intelligent documentation ecosystem—one that scales with business growth, reinforces quality leadership, and prepares LEHVOSS for the next generation of digital collaboration.
