Why Choose Vicinity Software and Microsoft Dynamics ERP for Formula Manufacturing

Take a look at 18 ways Vicinity meets your requirements for batch-processing software:

1. TRACKING

Compare budgeted time to actual time for each production stage to pinpoint and correct productivity variances.

2. STREAMLINED FORMULA MANAGEMENT IN ERP SOFTWARE

Segregate laboratory formulas from production formulas to ensure experimentals do not make their way into production. Assign searchable attributes to find the formulas you need, whether you manage 30 formulas or 30,000.

3. FORMULA VERSION CONTROL

Track multiple formula versions and revisions and dynamically switch between versions as needed to provide greater flexibility and production control.

4. MULTI-FACILITY SUPPORT

Easily modify formulas and routing for each facility and develop production and capacity plans across all facilities.

5. R&D PROJECT TRACKING WITH DYNAMICS 365

Manage R&D projects, including formula comparison, search, and cost. Centralize developing and selecting formulas to match customer requirements.

6. SIMPLIFIED CONTROL SYSTEM INTEGRATION

Stream data to other systems with real-time insight into actual production results. Whether the system is a simple handheld, intelligent dispensing system or sophisticated PLC, Vicinity has you covered.

7. PROPOSED COST ANALYSIS

Review potential cost adjustments to formulas for finished goods by maintaining a Proposed Cost Schedule. Keep ahead of the curve when you anticipate changing material costs by revaluing production costs.

8. CLOUD-BASED

No need for on-premises servers. Vicinity can be hosted in the Cloud, reducing hardware investment and software upgrade costs.

9. SSRS REPORTS INSIDE DYNAMICS 365

Reports are built on the industry standard MS SQL Server Reporting Service (SSRS), so they can be viewed in a browser, on a mobile device, or at a workstation.

10. AUTOMATED LAB CALCULATIONS

View calculations derived from material specifications during formula entry to assist in developing the desired results. For instance, you can call up nutritional analysis, material composition, and industry-specific formulaic values.

11. AUTOMATED GSH/SDS

Eliminate the labor and costs involved in producing a GHS/ SDS. Generate each formula GHS/SDS on demand or archive an approved version. Once done,  authorized users can access the GHS/SDS within Vicinity, your ERP system, or the Internet.

12. COMPREHENSIVE PRODUCTION SCHEDULING/MRP WITH DYNAMICS 365

Dramatically reduce investment in safety stock without the risk of coming up short. Increase scheduling accuracy to reduce inventory levels.

13. PRODUCTION CALENDAR

Visualize your production schedule on an Outlook or Google calendar. Manipulate start and stop dates and reassign batches to available equipment with drag-and-drop functionality.

14. CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS GENERATION

Automatically generate, store and forward the Certificate of Analysis for any customer and lot for raw materials or finished goods.

15. POWERFUL BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

VicinityView lets you query data in real time by selecting columns and filtering rows without programming or report writing. Sorting, grouping, and totaling are all powered by drag-and-drop technology.

16. MICROSOFT DYNAMICS INTEGRATION
