The chemical industry runs on expertise. Every company depends on people who remember how certain products behave, why regulators made a specific call, or which substitute works best in a given formulation. When those experts retire or move on, that knowledge goes with them.

Most companies try to capture it through documentation or training. Those efforts help but can’t keep up. The real solution is to capture expertise as part of everyday work.

Kimia’s Chemical Intelligence does exactly that. Each decision, clarification, or validation an expert makes is stored in context. When a compliance officer approves a rule, that approval links to the products it affects. When a sales engineer confirms a substitution, that explanation becomes part of the system. When a customer asks a question, the verified response is saved for future use.

Over time, this turns institutional memory into a living system. Every new action strengthens it. The next person facing the same question gets the answer immediately, along with the reasoning and source.

The effect is profound. New hires ramp faster. Customers get consistent answers. Compliance quality improves because the logic behind each decision is preserved. The company stops relearning what it already knows.

For leaders, this is a shift from knowledge depending on individuals to knowledge embedded in infrastructure. With Kimia, expertise doesn’t retire. It compounds.
