Cerpro GmbH is a technology startup founded in Berlin in 2023 that specializes in the digitization and automation of quality assurance processes in the manufacturing industry. The company was founded by Frederik Frei, Sascha Müller, and Henrik Pitz to replace traditional, manual QA workflows with AI-powered software solutions.

At the heart of the product portfolio is the cloud-based SaaS platform “CERPRO QualiSpec,” which uses artificial intelligence to automatically analyze technical drawings—such as CAD or PDF files—to identify features like dimensions, tolerances, and drill holes, and to generate digital inspection plans and quality documentation from them. This replaces time-consuming manual work with tools such as Excel spreadsheets and analog documents and creates structured, standardized inspection data. In many cases, using this software is expected to result in time savings of over 70 to 80 percent as well as significantly fewer errors. Furthermore, Cerpro prioritizes data security and GDPR compliance: The platform runs as a cloud solution on ISO 27001-certified AWS servers in Germany and offers encrypted storage with backups.

In addition to the software itself, Cerpro provides support for the implementation and use of the platform. Target customers are primarily small and medium-sized manufacturing companies (SMEs) in industries with high quality requirements, such as mechanical engineering, aerospace, and medical technology. The software is typically used in quality assurance processes, the creation of initial sample test reports (EMPB), and supply chain networking.

As recently as November 2025, Cerpro secured approximately 2 million euros in a pre-seed funding round from investors including seed + speed Ventures, D11Z. Ventures, EIT Manufacturing, and Techstars to scale product development, sales, and market expansion.
