Sensesbit Sensory SaaS and Sensory AI

Sensesbit is a food-tech company based in Lugo, Spain, founded by four scientists from a University of Santiago de Compostela research group; it is described as a joint venture between the university and UNIRISCO. It serves food companies that need to reduce risk when developing new products.

Its Software-as-a-Service platform uses statistics and AI to analyse sensory data such as taste, smell and texture. The site presents two modules, Sensory SaaS and Sensory AI, for R&D, quality and sensory teams, covering study design, panels and samples, response collection and result review. Customer logos include Pescanova, Covap, Calidad Pascual and Vichy Catalan.

• Dashboard: work-in-progress view of ongoing sensory studies.
• Session management: organise tasting sessions and panels.
• Sample control: manage samples, codes and serving order.
• Questionnaire builder: create sensory questionnaires for panelists.
• Automatic reports: results are downloadable to a spreadsheet with a generated report.
• Sensory AI: AI module that analyses sensory data for insights.

A Vietnamese beverage or dairy producer could run consumer panels for new flavours. A seafood or sauce exporter could track sensory quality between batches. Food R&D teams could compare prototype formulations with structured data.

Results can be downloaded to a spreadsheet with an automatic report. Study design, sample coding and serving control are handled in one tool. Technical assistance and online or phone training are offered. The vendor lists ISO 9001, ISO 27001, penetration testing and GDPR compliance.

Food manufacturers are digitising product development and quality control to cut the cost of failed launches. In Vietnam and Southeast Asia, food and beverage producers and co-packers that formulate new products can adopt SaaS sensory testing instead of paper panels.
