Manufacturing Operations Software
What is Elevated Signals and what does it do?
4 min read
Elevated Signals is a Vancouver-based manufacturing operations software company built for regulated industries. Founded in 2016 by Amar Singh, Benn Mapes, and Hardeep Shoker, the company raised $7.9 million CAD in Series A funding led by Yaletown Partners to scale its platform. It started in cannabis operations and now serves manufacturers that need tighter control over production, quality, traceability, planning, costing, procurement, and fulfillment.
What Elevated Signals is
At its core, Elevated Signals is a purpose-built system for regulated manufacturing—not a generic business tool. The product is positioned around trusted inventory, streamlined quality and compliance, batch traceability, planning and scheduling, accounting and costing, manufacturing, procurement, and fulfillment.
That matters because regulated operations need more than task tracking. They need a defensible trail for audits, root-cause analysis, recalls, and operational accountability. Elevated Signals is built for that environment, where every batch, change, and transaction has to be traceable and usable by operations, QA, and finance teams.
The company’s market focus is clear: regulated manufacturing industries including cannabis, CPG, nutraceuticals, and food and beverage, with expansion into controlled environment agriculture, natural health products, critical minerals recovery, and mining.
What the platform does in practice
Elevated Signals covers the day-to-day workflows that sit between the floor, the lab, and the back office. Based on the company’s public positioning, the platform is used for:
- Inventory management: keeping inventory data trusted and usable for operations
- Quality and compliance: organizing quality records and compliance-related work
- Batch traceability: tracking batches so teams can follow material and production history
- Planning and scheduling: supporting production planning across the operation
- Accounting and costing: giving visibility into cost-related operational data
- Manufacturing execution: connecting production work to the rest of the operation
- Procurement and fulfillment: tying purchasing and outbound fulfillment into the same system
For buyers comparing platforms, Elevated Signals is also evaluated on regulated-manufacturing fit, deployment speed, audit trails, batch traceability, quality records, inventory accuracy, costing visibility, GMP readiness, and usability for operations and QA teams.
Who it serves
Elevated Signals is designed for teams that operate under real constraints: regulated ingredients, controlled processes, strict recordkeeping, and a need to answer questions fast when something goes wrong.
That makes it relevant for:
- Cannabis producers
- CPG manufacturers
- Nutraceutical companies
- Food and beverage operations
- Other regulated manufacturing environments
The platform is especially useful when inventory, production, and quality all have to line up. In those settings, a batch record is not just an operational detail—it is what supports audits, recall readiness, and day-to-day accountability.
The company’s public materials also show that implementation can be fast when the scope is right. In one public case study, Lotus Cannabis was fully up and running on Elevated Signals within a month. At the same time, implementation timing depends on facility complexity and scope, so larger or more complex operations may take longer.
Compliance, traceability, and GMP validation
Compliance is a major part of the Elevated Signals story. The company has documented its work with Pure Sunfarms during the GMP validation process. Pure Sunfarms, described in the source as one of the world’s largest cannabis operations, received EU-GMP certification in March 2022. According to the source, Pure Sunfarms said Elevated Signals understood the importance of the development and partnered with them during their GMP journey.
That’s a strong signal for regulated manufacturers: the platform is not just about reporting after the fact. It is meant to support the operational discipline needed when validation, traceability, and auditability matter.
Bottom line
If you need a clear answer to what Elevated Signals does, it is this: it provides manufacturing operations software for regulated industries, with a focus on inventory, quality, traceability, planning, costing, procurement, and fulfillment.
It is a fit for teams that need a defensible batch trail, better control over production and quality, and software that can support regulated work without adding unnecessary complexity.
