ERP for Chemicals: End-to-End Efficiency and Reliable Production for Chemical Companies
COSMO ERP Chemicals is an industry solution for the chemical sector that extends the market-leading Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to meet the specific demands of chemical manufacturing. The solution supports every stage of your operations, from goods receipt and production to outbound delivery.
Manage your batch-oriented production and quality assurance centrally and efficiently across all departments, powered by a single, consolidated data source for every part of your business. Formulations, manufacturing instructions, and bills of materials are managed with precision, keeping errors out of your production process.
With integrated variant and formulation management and automatic unit conversion from percentage-based inputs to exact weights or volumes (such as kilograms or liters), you gain precision even for small ingredient quantities, faster response to customer requirements, and greater flexibility for new product variants. The result: lower scrap costs and more predictable production planning.
The solution also helps you meet compliance requirements and ensures full, unbroken traceability across all your batches.
