Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Silico Data Services is a company focused on automating pharmaceutical quality assurance. Its product, QSight, reviews the quality assurance documentation that must be checked before a drug batch can be released, flagging values that require a second look by a human reviewer.

QSight's workflow begins when a manufacturer uploads hand-written QA documentation. The system applies optical character recognition and AI/ML techniques to convert and review the material, reducing what the company describes as 18 days of manual review to less than a single day. Beyond the review itself, QSight converts semi-structured documentation into structured data, prepares reports, surfaces insights from information previously held only on paper, and integrates with enterprise systems such as ERPs for traceability. It can also process historical QA documentation to digitize legacy records.

The company describes itself as a group of professionals with more than 25 years in the pharmaceutical industry, with a stated mission of rethinking how medicine is made.

Founding story

The founder, listed publicly as Hiep L., has been in the founder role at Silico Data Services since November 2021 and holds degrees from Santa Clara University and its Leavey School of Business.

Business model

Silico Data Services sells QSight to pharmaceutical manufacturers as a tool that plugs into existing quality assurance workflows and IT systems, positioning itself on low deployment and maintenance cost, minimal training requirements, and an earlier return on investment. Engagement with prospective customers is handled through direct contact, with case studies made available on request.

Market position

An early-stage provider of AI/ML-based quality assurance document review software for pharmaceutical manufacturing.

The company states that QSight requires minimal changes to existing work processes or IT systems, is designed to be independent of the customer's incumbent IT stack, and is therefore less costly to install and maintain. It also cites the ability to process past QA documentation for digitization and analysis, and OCR accuracy of over 99.3% when converting structured data.

Technology

QSight combines optical character recognition, stated at over 99.3% accuracy for converting structured data, with AI/ML-driven review of uploaded quality assurance documents. The system runs continuously, initiating review as soon as documentation is received from the manufacturer, converts semi-structured and hand-written records into usable data, generates reports, and integrates with ERP and other downstream systems.
