Matanga creates compliance infrastructure inside a customer’s Microsoft 365 tenant, turning existing folder structures, naming conventions, and workflows into audit‑ready document libraries and evidence templates. The platform automatically captures required data at the point of record creation and adds AI‑driven search and gap‑detection to alert users to compliance issues before audits, while the client retains full ownership of the system.

Problem
Small and mid-size food manufacturers often rely on paper binders, spreadsheets, and ad‑hoc processes to manage quality and safety records, making audit preparation time‑consuming and error‑prone. When key personnel leave, these fragile systems can collapse, exposing companies to compliance risks.
Solution
Matanga builds compliance infrastructure directly within a customer’s Microsoft 365 tenant, leveraging existing folder structures, naming conventions, and approval workflows. By embedding controlled document libraries, evidence templates, and field‑log mechanisms at the point of record creation, the platform generates audit‑ready data automatically. AI‑driven search and gap‑detection layer on top of this foundation, surfacing compliance issues before auditors arrive. The solution is delivered as a co‑created implementation, so the client’s team retains full ownership of the system and data, and the infrastructure continues to operate without Matanga’s ongoing involvement.
Target Audience
Primary customers are quality and food‑safety teams at small to mid‑size food manufacturers that need a cost‑effective, scalable compliance solution without replacing existing IT investments.
