  • Electronic batch records
  • FEFO expiry control
  • Full lot genealogy

Designed to support the records these standards ask for

  • GMPGood manufacturing practice records
  • 21 CFR Part 11Audit trails and e-signatures (US FDA)

  • Schedule MGMP for drug makers (India)
  • GHS & SDSHazard labels and safety data sheets
  • ALCOA+Data integrity principles
Why plants switch

Five problems an ERP should cure

Each one slows release, risks an audit finding or loses stock. Each one has a fix.

Paper batch records

Batch sheets are filled by hand, checked late and hard to audit.

Fixed with: Electronic batch records with step-by-step sign-off

Expired stock in the store

Lots expire because nobody picked them first.

Fixed with: FEFO picking and near-expiry alerts

Formula versions everywhere

Different versions sit in Excel files across teams.

Fixed with: One approved, version-controlled formula master

Slow QC release

Finished batches wait for paperwork, not testing.

Fixed with: Lab results recorded against specs with digital release

Recall panic

Tracing a raw material lot to customers takes days.

Fixed with: Forward and backward lot genealogy in seconds
Batch costing

Know the true cost of every batch

A sample 500 kg granulation batch. Change raw material cost, yield and conversion cost to see cost per kg and per batch. Figures are illustrative.

Converted at approximate rates. Your choice is remembered across pages.

Assumes ₹18 per kg for QC testing and packing (converted to your currency).

Electronic batch records

Every step signed, timed and stored

The operator follows the master batch record on screen. Each step is time-stamped and signed, and limits are checked as values are entered. Sample flow.

Formula management

One approved formula, scaled to any batch

Formulas are version-controlled and approved before use. Quantities scale to the batch size, and changes go through change control. Sample tablet blend.

Expiry & batch tracking

First expiry, first out

Lots are sorted by expiry so the store picks the right one. Red means pick now, amber means plan to use. Sample stock.

MGS-0332Magnesium stearate
9 days to expiry · pick first
PCM-2408Paracetamol API
21 days to expiry · pick first
MCC-1193Microcrystalline cellulose
74 days to expiry
SOL-0761Ethanol 96%
140 days to expiry
PVP-0915Povidone K30
260 days to expiry
AssaySpec 98 to 102% · Result 99.6%
Moisture (LOD)Spec 0 to 2% · Result 1.3%
pH (1% solution)Spec 5.5 to 7 · Result 6.2
Dissolution at 30 minSpec 80 to 100% · Result 91%

Green band = specification. Dot = result for batch B-24-0917. Sample values.

Quality control

Results checked against specs, then released

Samples are logged, results entered or imported from instruments and compared with limits. A certificate of analysis is generated on release.

Hazmat management

Hazard rules built into every move

Each item carries its hazard class and SDS. The ERP warns when incompatible materials share a store and prints GHS-style labels.

  • FlammableSeparate, ventilated store
  • CorrosiveBunded area, acid and base apart
  • ToxicLocked store, restricted issue
  • IrritantStandard PPE prompts
  • OxidiserKeep away from flammables
  • Environmental hazardSpill kits and waste tracking

FAQ

Chemical & pharma ERP questions

Straight answers to what formulators and chemical plants ask us most.

What is a chemical and pharma ERP?

An ERP built for process manufacturers that work in batches: it manages formulas, electronic batch records, quality control and release, lot and expiry tracking, hazardous materials and compliance records alongside purchasing, sales, inventory and accounts.

Does it support 21 CFR Part 11 and GMP?

The system is designed to support these requirements with audit trails, user access control, electronic signatures and complete batch records. Compliance itself also depends on your procedures and validation, which we help you document.

How does batch costing work?

Batch cost adds raw material cost from the formula, adjusted for actual yield, plus conversion cost (labour, utilities, machine time), QC testing and packing. Cost per kg or per unit updates as raw material prices change.

Can it track lots from raw material to customer?

Yes. Every lot is linked from supplier receipt through each batch to the customer invoice, so a recall trace runs forward or backward in seconds.

How is expiry handled?

Each lot carries manufacture and expiry dates. Picking follows FEFO (first expiry, first out), and near-expiry and retest dates trigger alerts.

Does it manage hazardous chemicals?

Yes. Items carry hazard classes and SDS links, labels follow GHS formats, and storage rules warn when incompatible materials are placed together.

Can it connect to balances and lab instruments?

Yes. We connect weighing balances, LIMS or lab instruments and plant sensors where they support it, so values are captured without retyping.

How long does implementation take?

Typically about 10 to 12 weeks for one plant, including formulas, batch records, QC, validation support, training and a pilot batch.
