Brands and co-mans are getting on the same page—well, screen
July 30, 2026

Overview
For brands and the co-manufacturers they work with, visibility is often fragmented across the stages of testing: ordering, sampling, testing, and COA publication each generate their own update, on their own timeline, unless the relationship runs through a shared account. Cambium Analytica's client portal replaces that fragmented handoff with one shared, real-time view, scoped so each party sees exactly what's relevant to them.
Without Shared Account Access
Testing status between brands and co-manufacturers typically moves through email and phone calls, one link in the chain at a time. A sample is ordered, and someone sends word. It's sampled, and someone sends word again. It's tested, and eventually a COA arrives. Each stage generates its own separate update, on its own schedule, so a brand and its co-manufacturer are rarely looking at the same stage at the same moment. This isn't a matter of anyone doing anything wrong. It's just how the process works without a shared account, and it leaves both sides wanting a clearer, more current picture of where a sample actually stands.
With Shared Account Access
Shared account access gives brands and co-manufacturers a single, real-time view of a sample's progress through ordering, sampling, testing, and COA publication. When a stage changes, both sides see it change, at the same time, instead of finding out later through a separate message.
Visibility here is scoped, not blanket. A brand sees samples across its entire co-manufacturer network in one place, useful for any brand coordinating testing across multiple manufacturing partners. A co-manufacturer sees exactly the samples it produces, nothing belonging to another brand or another co-man's business. That scoping isn't a limitation bolted on afterward. It's built to scale dynamically across as many sites and partners as a brand or co-manufacturer works with, so the same structure holds whether there's one manufacturing relationship or twenty.
This benefits both sides directly. Co-manufacturers working with a wide range of brand clients get one place to manage all of those relationships, each one scoped to the right audience, instead of juggling a separate process and a separate update cadence for each. Brands working with several co-manufacturers get the same consolidation in reverse: one account, one view across the whole network, with each co-manufacturer relationship kept properly scoped.
Onboarding, Without the Paperwork Chain
Getting started doesn't require the drawn-out setup that used to come with adding a new testing relationship. Onboarding happens in a single email. There's no lengthy exchange of financial information or contract paperwork strung out over weeks.
Who This Is For
Brand quality and regulatory teams coordinating testing across multiple co-manufacturers stand to gain immediately from a single, consolidated view of their whole network. Contract manufacturers managing testing across multiple brand clients gain an easier way to organize those relationships, each one properly scoped. Operations and supply chain teams overseeing several manufacturing partners benefit from one real-time view spanning ordering through COA publication, instead of fragmented updates from each partner individually.
