Company
Thirty years on one problem.
Most software companies that touch labeling arrived from somewhere else: from print, from packaging, from generic document management. Innovatum started here and stayed.
What the focus actually buys you.
Longevity is easy to claim and hard to make useful. These are the specific things it changes for a customer, rather than the fact of it.
Every customer is a reference.
Not most of them, and not a selected few. Every Innovatum customer has agreed to act as a reference, and every one has renewed year after year. Ask for one: a claim like this is only worth making because it can be tested that way.
The regulations are not new to us.
21 CFR Part 11 has been in force the whole time this company has existed. So has the pattern of a regulator arriving, asking who approved a label, and expecting the answer to be in the system rather than in someone's memory.
Support comes from people who built it.
A company this size does not have a tier-one desk reading scripts. That is a consequence of scale rather than a policy, and it is the part customers notice first.
One product, not a portfolio.
Labeling is not a module beside twelve others competing for a roadmap. It is the roadmap, which is why depth here tends to run ahead of platforms where labeling is a component.
An audited quality system.
Innovatum holds ISO 9001:2015, covering software development and support: the part of a supplier's quality system that actually bears on a regulated customer, since it governs how the software you validate gets built and how a problem with it is handled.
What thirty years does not mean.
It does not mean the software is old. RONOVA is a current product, browser-based, and it is a separate product from ROBAR rather than a version of it. Both are sold. A long history in one field is a claim about accumulated understanding of the problem, not about the age of the code, and that understanding is exactly what a labeling system inherits or lacks.
It does not mean we are the largest option, and for some buyers that is the right reason to choose someone else. A very large vendor brings a support organisation, a partner network and a procurement process that some enterprises specifically want. What a smaller focused company brings is that the people who answer your questions are the people who wrote the thing.
And it does not settle whether RONOVA fits your situation. That depends on how many sites you run, which regulators you answer to, and how your lines actually print, which is why the pricing is published and the comparison page says plainly when we are the wrong answer.

Questions people ask.
Can we speak to an existing customer?
Yes. Every Innovatum customer has agreed to act as a reference, so this is a question of matching you to the closest situation rather than of finding someone willing. Ask for a reference running at your scale, in your industry, and ideally mid-way through a rollout rather than years past one: that is the conversation that tells you something.
How long has Innovatum been doing this?
Since 1993, and on regulated labeling specifically for that entire time rather than arriving from print, packaging or general document management. The company is based in Sugar Hill, Georgia.
What is the difference between Innovatum and RONOVA?
Innovatum is the company. RONOVA and ROBAR are both its products and both are supported: RONOVA is the browser-based platform most new deployments go to, and ROBAR is the established enterprise labeling system that can be deployed on premises. ROBAR customers who choose to move to RONOVA do so on a supported path that carries templates, master data and approval history across.
Is Innovatum big enough to support a global rollout?
It is a fair question to ask directly rather than infer, and worth asking in the first conversation. What is on this site: RONOVA runs at single-site manufacturers and across global networks including contract manufacturers, Innovatum's quality system is certified to ISO 9001:2015, and the pricing for an enterprise deployment is published. What is not published is headcount, so ask for it.
