In today’s fast-paced and highly regulated chemical manufacturing environment, Research and Development (R&D) teams need more than just great ideas, they need the tools to safely and efficiently turn innovation into reality. Datacor’s Formulation Management and Regulatory Control solution delivers exactly that: a purpose-built solution for accelerating product development, ensuring compliance, and reducing operational risk.
Datacor Formulation Management offers R&D teams a flexible, secure environment to design, test, and cost formulas, without disrupting live operations. Built as a “sandbox” separate from your core ERP system, this module allows chemists to simulate ingredient changes, perform real-time cost analysis, and version-control their work, all before a formulation is released to production.
“Companies often iterate through several versions of a formula to get a product that they and their customers agree is satisfactory,” says Daniel Reilly, product manager at Datacor. “What our solution does is keep those experimental chemistries out of the production system, providing safety and speed.”
By giving R&D teams the freedom to explore without operational constraints, Formulation Management removes the traditional barriers between innovation and execution. This integrated approach not only speeds up time to market but also ensures that every formulation is built on accurate, accessible, and compliant data from the very beginning. As a result, manufacturers can reduce development costs, minimize risk, and bring high-quality, regulatory-ready products to market with greater confidence and consistency.
Staying ahead of evolving regulations, like OSHA’s revised Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) aligning with Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Revision 7, is critical. The Regulatory Control module works in tandem with Formulation Management to automate the creation of Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and GHS-compliant labels using data directly from your sandboxed formulations.
No more manual data gathering or formatting. The system extracts the relevant properties, applies rule-based formatting, and generates compliant documents, dramatically reducing the burden on regulatory and QA teams.
“We’ve taken away the pain points of having different silos of information, which could save hours of work,” notes Reilly.
Datacor Formulation Management and Regulatory Control is more than a set of tools, it’s a competitive advantage. By aligning R&D and compliance functions within a single solution, manufacturers can significantly cut development cycles, reduce costly rework, and ensure consistent documentation across departments and locations.
