Why Datacor formulation

Least-Cost Formulation Engine

Optimize single or multiple formulas in real time based on ingredient costs, nutrition, and constraints to maximize profitability.

Unified Ingredient & Formula Management

Centralize and version formulas and ingredients for consistent, traceable data sharing across teams, facilities, and global operations.

Regulatory & Labeling Compliance

Generate compliant labels and declarations automatically to stay aligned with AAFCO, FEDIAF, and other regional standards.

Sustainability & Scenario Planning

Model ingredient swaps to assess environmental and cost impact, support ESG goals, and drive more sustainable product decisions.

Multi-formula optimization

  • Optimize multiple formulas simultaneously, including shared subcomponents
  • Balance cost, nutrition, and production constraints in one solver pass
  • Reduce waste and improve profitability with ingredient efficiency
