Seamless end-to-end processes for the cosmetics industry: efficient, transparent, and compliant
For many cosmetics manufacturers, this is the daily reality: teams work in parallel across ERP systems, lab applications, document management systems (DMS), and Microsoft 365 Excel. That's where friction builds up. Formula variants aren't properly versioned, batch data isn't available when quality control or complaints need it, and audits become a burden. None of this is inevitable - when your data is consistent and accessible, you can break down silos and run your processes with confidence.
With COSMO CONSULT as your digitalization partner, you can put an end to fragmented data. We guide you through implementing integrated software for cosmetics manufacturers—practical, structured, and tailored to your needs. Built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central as the central platform, you connect your ERP, Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM, Microsoft Fabric/Power BI, Microsoft Copilot, and Microsoft 365 into one seamless end-to-end process. The result is a unified platform that production, quality management, procurement, and sales all work from.
Approvals become fully traceable, batch traceability becomes reliable, and quality management stays audit-ready. AI-powered analytics add another layer of visibility across planning, inventory, and quality. The bottom line: transparent processes, consistent data, and confident decisions - driving speed and sustainable growth without the chaos of disconnected point solutions.
