ERP for skincare, hair care, and cosmetics manufacturing

Personal care and cosmetics manufacturers need formula management (versioning, scaling, substitutions), batch production with yield tracking, bidirectional lot traceability for GMP audits, quality control enforcement at every production stage, and shelf-life management across raw materials and finished goods. inecta Process ERP is built specifically for this kind of formula-based production — not adapted from discrete manufacturing software.

inecta maintains a complete lot-level audit trail from raw material receipt through production and shipment. Inspection plans with pass, warn, and fail thresholds enforce quality standards at receiving, during production, and at shipment — with all results recorded in the system. Chain-of-custody records, production conditions, and QC documentation are available for regulatory inspections without manual reconstruction.

Yes. inecta supports customer-specific formula versions, labeling requirements, and separate lot traceability records by customer. Contract manufacturers can manage multiple customers' formulations in a single system with clear separation of records — maintaining traceability obligations for each customer without operational confusion.

inecta supports multi-level formula structures with up to 50 levels of nested components. You can maintain multiple formula versions, scale formulations by batch size, track ingredient substitutions when raw materials are unavailable, and calculate cost impacts in real time as ingredient prices change. New product development and approved production formulas are managed in the same system with version control.

Every raw material and finished good is tracked with expiry dates from receipt through shipment. FEFO (First Expired, First Out) rotation is enforced automatically across warehouse locations so your team always picks the oldest stock first. The system flags materials approaching expiry so you can take action before shelf life becomes a problem.

They share the same core platform — built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central — with the same formula management, batch production, lot traceability, and quality control capabilities. inecta Food ERP includes food-specific configurations for FSMA compliance and allergen management. inecta Process ERP applies the same proven engine to personal care, cosmetics, and other formula-based manufacturing verticals.
