Our Story

In 1986, Dr. Chris Findlay founds Compusense in Guelph, Canada, seeing a strong demand for the computerization of sensory analysis to accelerate the product development cycle.

Working closely with clients and the sensory community, Compusense develops software based on sensory best practices and sound scientific methods.

Compusense’s extensive research and experience in panel training methods results in the development of the Feedback Calibration Method (FCM®) for panelist calibration.

The FCM® method has been shown to save panel training time by up to 40%.

Compusense at-hand, our hosted software as a service is launched. Later called Compusense Cloud, the SaaS approach offers new ways to collect sensory and consumer data in on increasingly connected world.

Global organizations joining the SaaS model find new efficiencies in collaborating with their teams worldwide.
