Product Engineering Solution
Product formulation software
Streamline formula development by managing the project centrally and leveraging the central specification management repository on the same platform. Link quality test data from the integrated laboratory information management system (LIMS) directly to product development.
Why leverage product formulation software?
Consumer behavior and preferences are evolving rapidly. To stay competitive, companies must quickly adapt and meet the rising demand for sustainable, healthy and premium-quality products. How can they accomplish these goals? By leveraging a product formulation solution that supports data integrity and availability across multiple departments and offers proper formulated product development and simulation functionality.
With this approach, your organization can prioritize innovation efficiency with cutting-edge technology to digitally transform your product design and formula management.
How can you facilitate collaboration between research and development (R&D) and manufacturing and speed up innovation efficiency while meeting the rising demand for products that are sustainable, healthy and premium quality?
Implement a product development solution that supports data integrity and availability across departments and offers proper formulated product development and simulation functionalities.
What can product formulation software do for you?
Product formulation software can help you smoothly integrate R&D and manufacturing data with processes to drastically speed up the transfer of final product designs to mainstream manufacturing.
Centralize project management data
Facilitate re-use and cross-department collaboration by working from one central location. Easily upload documents, milestones and due dates. Ensure information is only shared with the correct stakeholders.
Streamline processes and specifications
Store all product specifications in one central repository company-wide. Ensure all team members always work with the current version of a specification.
Ensure regulatory compliance
Ensure regulatory compliance from early formula development through the automated roll-up of all relevant information coming from the central specification management repository.

Frequently asked questions
Product formulation software is a specialized solution used in process-oriented industries to design, develop and optimize products created with specific formulations.
It leverages the digital twin of the formula to assess the immediate impact that changes in material will have on product performance. It performs these evaluations by drawing from the specification management repository for all materials and products within the same platform. With a roll-up from the lowest level to the top level of a formulation, it provides immediate insights on targets such as regional regulatory compliance or health indicators. Product formulation software can provide formula alternatives and instantly assesses its impact on ingredient and allergen declarations.
Overall, product formulation software drives efficiency and reduces time-to-market of new products launches.
Manufacturers should adopt product formulation software to produce cost-effective, high-quality products by streamlining processes, ensuring accuracy and maintaining compliance. Product formulation software accelerates development cycles, improves collaboration and fosters innovation, ultimately enhancing competitiveness in the market.
Our formulated product design solution enhances product sustainability and quality by:
