Batch costing in FormulationPro

At the heart of process manufacturing lies batch management. Many mid-market software systems are written with the needs of discrete manufacture in mind. FormulationPro has been designed specifically to address the requirements of companies who need to optimise and manage batch based production.

Comprehensive and accurate batch costing

Certain costs - such as raw materials and labour - can be relatively easy to figure out. The difficulty is often bringing together these costs to determine the cost of a specific batch, particularly when dealing with fluctuations. FormulationPro is linked seamlessly to your stock records and brings in raw material, labour and packaging costs to calculate an accurate batch costing dependent on exactly what was used. Any cost attributable to a batch can be recorded accurately within FormulationPro, even accounting for costs associated with multiple quality control test profiles.

User-friendly batch sheet production

"FormulationPro gives us auditable and measurable quality control, that's no longer separate from our core business system."

FormulationPro's batch sheet wizard enables you to take any of your core formulations, adapt them to your current production run and produce user friendly batch sheets. Your batch sheets are fully customisable to your specific requirements and can include comprehensive user information such as production instructions and safety equipment requirements.

FormulationPro batch quality

FormulationPro is designed to manage and facilitate your quality concerns. After initial production and testing your formulation may need adapting based on one or more quality control test profiles. FormulationPro also accommodates multiple quality control test profiles for a single batch, for example, you can manufacture the same product in the same batch for two different customers and apply each customer's quality control specifications.

Formulations can be re-calculated to manufacture a batch to least available ingredient so if you become short of one ingredient manufacture does not have to stop.
