SKS: the operating system for food & beverage innovation
SKS Nutrition is an AI-driven innovation platform for the food and beverage industry. We partner with leading ingredient suppliers and build proprietary datasets to train an AI taste model. Our mission is to make R&D across the industry dramatically more efficient and to unlock healthier, more nutritious product formulations for consumers.
How SKS works
- Insight: Coco reads global trend signals and category gaps, then scores which concept has real hit potential before you spend a dollar on samples.
- Kernel: the taste model proposes starting formulas and runs a virtual sensory panel on each, so the bench only makes the ones worth tasting.
- Symphony: labels, regulatory checks and hand-offs to marketing and supply update together as the formula changes.
Who it is for
- CPG brands: score concepts early, prototype faster and keep the label in sync as the recipe changes.
- QSR brands: predictive flavor mapping for menu evolution, region by region.
- Ingredient suppliers: turn a client brief into a tasted, client-confirmed proposal, with compliance and supply-chain transparency.
- Retail and sales channels: validate demand, price and claims before going to field.
