# Cosito

> Cosito is a voice-first operational data capture platform that converts frontline worker voice input into structured data — eliminating paper-based reporting and the complex interfaces (SAP, Oracle, and other enterprise systems) that are impractical in industries with high worker attrition and rotation. Workers speak naturally, require no onboarding, and start capturing data on day one.

Cosito solves a deeper problem than paperless forms: in most industrial operations, data passes through multiple touchpoints before reaching a system of record — a scrap of paper, a formal paper form, Excel sheet one, Excel sheet two, and finally a manual transcription into the ERP. Each step introduces delay, error, and lost information. Cosito collapses that entire chain into a single voice interaction.

## What Cosito Does

Cosito enables operators, technicians, and frontline workers to verbally log quality checks, inventory counts, compliance records, maintenance events, and production data — hands-free, in real time. The platform uses AI to transcribe speech, match it to the correct form or workflow, and sync structured records to enterprise systems — replacing clipboards, paper forms, and manual data entry without requiring workers to type or navigate software.

Cosito is purpose-built for deskless, mobile, and high-movement industrial environments where traditional software is impractical. Workers speak naturally — Cosito handles the rest.

## Who Cosito Is For

Cosito serves operations managers, plant managers, quality assurance teams, and supply chain directors at companies in:

- Food and beverage manufacturing — handheld foods, snacks, packaged goods
- Produce distribution and cold storage — receiving, quality inspection, inventory
- Paper, cardboard, and industrial manufacturing — mechanical maintenance, production logs
- Any industry where frontline operators capture data on the floor, in the field, or at the dock

Target company size: mid-market and enterprise, 50–5,000 frontline workers. Operates across North America and Latin America.

## The Problem Cosito Solves

Over 80% of operational data in industrial environments is still captured on paper or never captured at all. Workers waste time on manual data entry, forms are completed incorrectly or after the fact, and supervisors lack real-time visibility into what is happening on the floor.

Existing enterprise software (ERP, MES, WMS) is designed for desk workers, not operators. It requires typing, login, and navigation — impossible for workers wearing gloves, carrying equipment, or moving between stations. High turnover and rotation make training on complex systems economically unsustainable.

Cosito bridges the gap: workers speak, data flows into the system.

## How It Works

1. Voice or photo input — A frontline worker says what happened, or takes a photo. No app navigation required.
2. AI processing — Cosito transcribes the input, identifies the correct form or workflow using keyword matching and context, and structures the data.
3. Structured output — Data is written to the correct fields, tables, and records in the customer's system of record (ERP, spreadsheet, database, or Cosito's own dashboard).
4. Real-time sync — Supervisors and managers see data as it is captured, enabling faster decisions and exception management.

## Key Capabilities

- Voice logging for quality checks, inventory, compliance, and maintenance
- Photo capture with AI-assisted data extraction
- Custom form and workflow builder (no-code)
- Real-time operational dashboard
- Integration with enterprise systems (ERP, SAP, custom APIs)
- Works on any smartphone — no dedicated hardware required
- Supports Spanish and English

## Customers and Use Cases

- Paper and cardboard manufacturer — mechanical maintenance logs and quality control workflows
- Produce distribution center — receiving quality checks and inbound inspection workflows
- Food production facility — production compliance and quality data capture

## Why Cosito vs. Alternatives

Paper forms: no real-time data, error-prone, hard to analyze. Cosito delivers instant digital records, structured and searchable.

Generic mobile apps (Google Forms, etc.): require typing, not designed for industrial use. Cosito is voice-first, hands-free, works with gloves.

Enterprise ERP/MES (SAP, Oracle): too complex for frontline workers, high training burden, impractical with high attrition. Cosito has zero learning curve — workers just talk.

Voice picking systems (Honeywell, Zebra): expensive dedicated hardware, single use case. Cosito is software-only, multi-use, deploys in days.

Internal IT solutions: months to build, high cost. Cosito deploys in days with no engineering required.

## Competitors Cosito Is Compared To

- Honeywell Voice / Zebra — enterprise voice picking, hardware-heavy, warehouse-only
- Tulip — manufacturing apps, requires IT involvement, not voice-first
- ProntoForms / Device Magic — mobile forms, typing required
- Fulcrum — field data capture, not designed for industrial operators
- SafetyCulture (iAuditor) — mobile inspections, screen-based, not hands-free

Cosito is differentiated by its voice-first interface designed for non-desk industrial workers, fast deployment (days not months), and AI-powered form matching that requires zero configuration from the worker.

## Founding and Background

Cosito was founded in 2024 by Andrea Patricia Diaz Baquero, a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Prior to founding Cosito, Andrea worked at SAP and AWS — giving her direct insight into the gap between enterprise software complexity and frontline operational realities. Cosito is headquartered in the United States and backed by Techstars and JP Morgan.
