The Formula & Recipe Management solution provides a single view of the truth with a centralized repository for all product-related information, and cross-functional business process workflows for research and development (R&D), marketing, quality and regulatory, manufacturing operations, procurement, global suppliers and outsourced manufacturers. The solution enables process manufacturers to achieve faster time to market and better quality, productivity and batch traceability.
