Industry Solution
ERP built for process manufacturing
Business Central with formulation management, batch traceability, quality control, and regulatory compliance — configured for how chemical producers actually work.
Core Capabilities
What it covers
Business Central extended for the specifics of chemical and process manufacturing.
Formulation management
Define recipes with percentage-based or fixed-quantity components. Formulations scale to any batch size, with version control and substitution rules for ingredient flexibility.
Integrated quality control
Quality orders at receiving, in-process, and release stages. Lab results connect directly to batch records. Certificates of Analysis are generated from actual test data.
Shelf-life and FEFO logistics
Lot-level expiry tracking with automatic First Expired, First Out picking. Configurable alerts before lots approach expiry. Quarantine workflows for out-of-spec material.
Hazardous materials handling
Materials classified by hazard class, packing group, and UN number. Transport validation for ADR, IMDG, and IATA runs at shipment level. GHS labeling integrated into document output.
Regulatory reporting
REACH registration tracking and tonnage band monitoring driven by actual purchase and production transactions. Substance volume reports consolidate automatically.
Batch traceability
Full forward and backward lot tracing from raw material receipt through production to customer delivery. Process parameters — temperature, pressure, pH — linked to each batch record.
How It Fits
Designed around process manufacturing workflows
Not a discrete-manufacturing ERP adapted with workarounds. A vertical that understands formulations, yields, co-products, and compliance from the start.
Recipe-driven production
Formulations scale proportionally. When you produce a 2-tonne batch or a 50 kg trial, the system adjusts component quantities, expected yields, and packaging requirements.
Quality gates that connect
QC results flow into batch disposition automatically. Hold, release, or rework decisions are made from real data — not emails or paper forms passed between departments.
Compliance as part of the workflow
Hazmat classification, transport documents, and regulatory fields are part of the transaction — not a parallel process. REACH reporting pulls from the same data you use every day.
Lab and sensor integration
REST APIs connect to LIMS and IoT devices. Test requests flow to the lab, results return to the batch record, and disposition triggers the next step.
Shelf-life built into logistics
Expiry dates, remaining shelf life, and FEFO picking are native to warehouse operations. Customers receive material within their specifications without manual checking.
Full lot genealogy
Trace any finished batch back to its raw material lots, suppliers, process parameters, and QC results. Trace forward from any raw material to every batch and customer it reached.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
What types of chemical companies does this support?
Specialty chemical manufacturers, basic chemical producers, paint and coatings companies, adhesive manufacturers, and any batch/process manufacturer working with formulations and regulatory compliance.
How does it handle formulation-based production?
Recipes are defined with percentage-based or fixed-quantity components that scale to any batch size. Version control tracks changes, and substitution rules handle ingredient availability automatically.
Does it integrate with laboratory systems?
Yes. REST APIs enable bidirectional integration with LIMS. Test requests flow to the lab, results return automatically, and QC disposition triggers downstream workflows.
How does hazardous materials compliance work?
Materials are classified by hazard class, packing group, and UN number. Transport validation runs on every shipment (ADR, IMDG, IATA), and GHS labeling is enforced at document level.
Is this the same app as Chemicals & Metals?
Yes — it's the same certified AppSource extension. This page focuses on chemical production workflows. The app also covers commodity trading, metals processing, and ore brokering.
Want to see how it works?
We can walk through the app with your own production scenarios — formulations, QC workflows, or compliance reporting. 30 minutes, no slides.
