Cosmetics
Cosmetics companies trust Valdata Systems for their ERP software solutions. This is because our software provides them with unmatched traceability, inventory management, recipe development, and manufacturing.
CMS was originally designed for the pharmaceutical industry. Like the pharmaceutical industry, cosmetic manufacturers must adhere to some strict rules regarding inventory, quality and manufacturing. This is even more so if OTC products are involved.
While not all cosmetic manufacturers require the controls available in CMS, non-OTC manufacturers can still use CMS for CGMP compliance. We will optionally let you enforce FEFO or FIFO. You can also elect to have ‘special’ notifications pop up when certain materials are handled.
CMS may come across sometimes as being very controlling and complicated. Rest assured, you can configure CMS to be as ‘in control’ as you like. You can also have it help with just your core processes.
Forward and Reverse Traceability
Barcoded Inventory Management
CMS has many features designed to make recipe development a breeze. This includes user-populated libraries of instructions, drag-and-drop features, as well as real-time costing calculations.
Ensure your batches are done right every time by building recipes with clear, step-by-step instructions.
Manufacturing Execution
Enter batching orders and use your published recipes to manufacture your products. As raw materials are consumed, your inventory is automatically adjusted.
During production, operators are prompted and policed through each step of the process. If specified, operators may be required to enter data related to each step (i.e. actual recorded temperature, mixing time, etc.) before moving forward. This further ensures that your batches are done right every time.
Package Execution (production orders)
CMS has been designed with special Package Execution capabilities. When used with Recipe Manager, all aspects of a production order can be defined and controlled. With instructions that must be completed for pre-production, start of lot, end lot and end order, CMS can give you control in ways you never imagined.
For example, operators can be instructed to test for torque and fill weights at regular intervals. This can be done by people operating the machine or by a designated QA person.
In the competitive world of cosmetic manufacturing, precision, efficiency, and compliance are paramount. Valdata Systems offers a robust cosmetic manufacturing software solution specifically designed to meet these demands, providing unmatched traceability, inventory management, recipe development, and manufacturing execution.
Overcoming Manufacturing Challenges: Valdata’s cosmetics ERP software addresses several critical challenges faced by manufacturers today. With advanced reverse traceability, our system ensures 99.99% accuracy of materials at any stage of the manufacturing process. This feature is essential for tracking resources meticulously, reducing waste, minimizing errors, preventing bad batches, and avoiding costly recalls. By maintaining stringent quality control and eliminating waste, manufacturers can consistently deliver superior products.
User-Friendly Implementation and Customization
At Valdata, we recognize that every cosmetic manufacturer operates differently, with unique processes and requirements. Our CMS is designed to be highly user-friendly and customizable. Our team works closely with several departments within your organization to ensure a seamless transition. We conduct trials and tests to ensure clean data and that systems are functioning optimally. This tailored onboarding process has received positive feedback from our long-time clients, who appreciate the bespoke solutions that fit their specific needs.
Streamlined Inventory Management with Barcoding
Gone are the days of manual inventory logging. Valdata’s CMS uses barcodes to track inventory seamlessly. Each component and material in the manufacturing process is assigned a unique barcode ID, which integrates with existing scale and measurement systems. This ensures that every aspect is traced accurately at any stage of the process, reducing the chances of human error and enhancing overall efficiency.
Barcoded Inventory Management: With our software, the process of logging every time a material is moved or consumed becomes effortless. CMS employs barcodes to track your inventory, making warehousing as simple as scanning barcodes.
Ensuring Complete Traceability
One of the standout features of our software is its unparalleled traceability. This function allows manufacturers to account for every ingredient and material at any stage of the process, much like a tracker for raw goods. Use previously entered information to expand on this. Whether it’s forward or reverse traceability, our system ensures that every component, material, and ingredient is tracked with precision, significantly enhancing quality control and compliance.
Forward and Reverse Traceability: How long does it take you to perform a mock recall? With CMS, you can perform a mock recall in just a few mouse clicks, thanks to our forward and reverse tracing capabilities. This feature helps a manufacturer account for each ingredient and material at any stage of the process.
Recipe Formulation and Manufacturing Execution
Our cosmetic formulation software is designed to eliminate human error through computer-aided settings and controls. This not only reduces inventory waste but also ensures that batches are consistently accurate. By linking batch or ingredient records to shipping labels, everything can be connected, tracked, and traced under the comprehensive system.
Recipe Development: CMS offers many features designed to streamline recipe development, including user-populated libraries of instructions, drag-and-drop features, and real-time costing calculations. Ensure your batches are done right every time by building recipes with clear, step-by-step instructions.
Manufacturing Execution: Enter batching orders and use your published recipes to manufacture your products. As raw materials are consumed, your inventory is automatically adjusted. During production, operators are prompted and guided through each step of the process, ensuring that your batches are done right every time.
Compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices
Our software is an invaluable tool for compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and regulatory standards set by the FDA and other regulators. The system allows for meticulous tracking, tracing, measuring, and analyzing of every ingredient throughout the entire manufacturing process. Additionally, it can be configured to set up maintenance, cleaning, and other schedules to adhere to industry or regulator guidelines, ensuring your operations remain compliant and efficient.
Quality Assurance and Compliance: As an cosmetic manufacturer, there are numerous requirements to follow, including adhering to MoCRA. Our system simplifies these processes, making it easier to maintain compliance and quality assurance.
Customizable to Your Unique Needs
Every cosmetic manufacturer has distinct resources, processes, and business needs. Valdata’s CMS is not a one-size-fits-all solution; it is designed to be implemented in a custom manner that adapts to your facility, recipes, and processes. This flexibility ensures that the software aligns perfectly with your unique requirements, providing a bespoke solution that enhances your manufacturing operations.
