Case Study
Primarch Manufacturing Inc. Hits the Mark with BatchMaster Enterprise
Primarch Manufacturing Inc. was a long-time user of Sage PFW, an older Sage solution. When Sage retired PFW and stopped offering support, Primarch determined the need to upgrade their ERP solution. The company needed a solution that would fit their manufacturing processes and be easy for their staff to learn and use. They also wanted a solution that would support their quarantine and test methodology, which is a core standard in their competitive private label manufacturing for nutraceuticals. This process involves quarantining everything upon receipt, applying lot numbers, and performing QC tests to verify vendor raw material claims.
Case Study
BioZone Laboratories and BatchMaster ERP, Then and Now
BioZone Laboratories, a global developer and private-label manufacturer of cosmetics, topical pharmaceuticals, and dietary supplements, was in need of a solution to better manage its common base material and specialty ingredient inventories to avoid inventory overages and shortages. The company needed to manage products by average cost method, by capturing true costs at order, receipt, manufacturing, packaging and delivery. As a make to order business, BioZone also needed a solution that could forecast profitability allowing the company to maximize its investment of capital and resources. Over the last ten years, the cosmetics market has given way to specialty advisors and the boutiquing of the industry, which has been challenging for BioZone as many of their products are oil-based and they have been faced with significant raw material and transportation cost fluctuations.
Case Study
Premier Research Labs' Move to BatchMaster is a ‘Natural’ Fit
Premier Research Labs (PRL) is a leading manufacturer of excipient-free nutraceuticals and superfood concentrates. As the company's business grew, they realized that their existing, outdated ERP system was not sufficient to manage their formulas, manufacturing, and financials. The old solution was heavily customized, making upgrades impossible. Departments were having trouble sharing data, and the system's inefficiencies were impacting collaboration across all departments. PRL needed a comprehensive solution that could accommodate their unique inventory structure, where inventory and customers are distinct yet most of the product formulations and production schedules are shared. Their manufacturing schedule needed to have visibility into customer's orders from all sources and produce an accurate master production schedule.
Case Study
Westwood Laboratories where Premium Service is Second Nature
Westwood Laboratories, a contract manufacturer of liquid-based personal care products, was using an older version of BatchMaster integrated with Sage PFW accounting to run their business. However, Sage retired PFW accounting and with it, the older version of BatchMaster used by Westwood Laboratories. This posed a challenge for Westwood Laboratories as they needed a solution to continue running their business efficiently. Additionally, as an FDA licensed company, Westwood Laboratories needed to track inventory lot detail for every inventory item they received into the plant and keep detailed records of all QC testing and results. They needed a solution that could help them manage these requirements and be compliant with FDA regulations.
Case Study
BatchMaster Enables Global Supplier in Fulfilling Manufacturing Commitments, Saving Time and Money
International Paper, a global paper and packaging company, was facing challenges with its manufacturing system. The company's water-based flexographic ink business was struggling to meet customer requirements due to major fluctuations in customer order patterns. The company had to maintain sizable safety stocks or pay premium prices for delivery of short items to meet customer requirements. As the scale of business grew, so did the severity of this problem. The company realized that the manufacturing system then in place, a semi-custom mainframe-based inventory, sales and purchase order management system, was no longer adequate to support their business. They needed a system that provided immediate access to inventories from all ink manufacturing sites within the company and updated inventories as batches were closed at the various plants.
Case Study
BatchMaster Helps Contract Manufacturer Control Inventory and Increase Efficiency
Cosmaceutical, a contract manufacturer of liquids, lotions, and creams for the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry, was facing challenges with its existing non-integrated systems. The company was using a series of Microsoft Office tools including Excel spreadsheets and custom applications written in Access. As the company grew, these systems became a limiting factor. Duplicate data entry and accuracy were becoming a problem. The systems covered all aspects of the business, but they didn't communicate with each other, leading to islands of information. One department didn't know what another department was doing. The company needed an integrated system so that anyone in the company could see what was happening with a product at any given time.

Customer Success Story - International Coatings Company
International Coatings Company (ICC) was in need of a new system to support its growing business, protect margins in a competitive market, control costs, improve inventory control, and reduce shortages. The company, which specializes in textile screen-printing inks and industrial intermediate plastic compounds, was vulnerable to price fluctuations due to its reliance on petroleum-based raw materials. The company was also looking to improve its inventory control and reduce shortages. ICC had been a longtime user of BatchMaster software, starting with the DOS version in 1995. However, the company decided to upgrade to the Windows version in 2002 to support its projected growth and take advantage of the many new features that the Windows version offered.
Case Study
Customer Success Story - CoValence Laboratories
CoValence Laboratories, a custom topical application developer and manufacturer, was facing challenges with their existing 'Out-of-the-Box' accounting package that supported a discrete manufacturing model. The system was not able to meet the growing sales and production needs of the company. Customizing the existing system to enable even the most basic functionality was proving to be a significant investment. Moreover, the company was also facing increasing compliance demands in their International Market requirements. The company realized that customizing their original accounting system would cost too much in meeting their business growth or the increasing compliance demands in their International Market requirements.
Case Study
Polytex Environmental (Netherlands) Inks Finds Holistic Process Solution with BatchMaster Manufacturing (BMM) and SAP Business One
Polytex Environmental Inks, a company established in 1943 to manufacture and supply industrial coatings, was facing a challenge. With the growing concern over air quality and the passage of the Clean Air Act in 1970, industries were forced to turn their attention to new technologies. This accelerated the need to develop inks and coatings that comply with changing environmental standards. To effectively support the printing industry, Polytex established a 80,000 square foot plant in 1986 in the Bronx, N. Y. to include Research and Development and Manufacturing. To strengthen its position worldwide, Polytex established an R&D and Manufacturing site in the Netherlands in 1993. However, in 2008, the European arm of the organization began a search for a solution that would support not only manufacturing and distribution of their products, but that included full support for their R&D needs. After some initial research, Polytex identified solutions from Microsoft, Infor Global Solutions and SAP that offered support for some or most of their business needs. Unfortunately, none of them fully met their needs for product development, production management and distribution.

Case Study
Custom Ingredients Inc. Creates Custom Flavors while Capturing Record Growth with BatchMaster
Custom Ingredients, Inc. is a privately held company that supplies the Southern California food and nutraceuticals market with high quality flavors. The company's primary goals are dependable service, trustworthy relationships and up-to-date regulatory standards. However, when the company first started blending flavors, they relied on tools such as Excel to record formulations and inventory, with inventory tracking done manually. This was not efficient and did not allow for optimal inventory control and lot traceability. The company needed a formula-based manufacturing solution that could handle these tasks and more.
Case Study
Customer Success Story - Cain Food Industries Inc.
Cain Food Industries, Inc., a Dallas-based company that produces and supplies micro-dose ingredients for the wholesale and retail baking industries, was facing several challenges with their previous business operation software, Process-Pro. They often encountered problems in lot traceability, an essential requirement of their customers who need this information for regulatory compliance. Due to the lack of availability of real-time information of inventory and finance, it was very difficult for them to assess their current status and make the best use of the available inventory. In addition, they had to spend considerable time in calculations for their formulas. Their formulas are based on the bioactivity of enzymes, which is one of their main raw materials, and its bioactivity, which varies from lot-to-lot. To remain competitive in the current challenging economic environment, and to retain and expand their customer base which demands food ingredients in compliance with regulatory requirements, Cain Foods decided to search for an affordable software solution, which could satisfy these needs.
Case Study
Athea Labs Completes Their 'ERP Overhaul' with Batchmaster ERP
Athea Labs was operating with an outdated ERP solution that had become so specialized for their needs that updates to current releases were no longer possible. The old ERP solution lacked key functions such as MRP and MPS, which were needed to drive Inventory and Manufacturing requirements. This led Athea to develop many of their own functions outside the old ERP solution. The old ERP solution maintained Production Work Orders and routings, but without Planning. The old ERP solution did not maintain a Lot Number/Location relationship for their items and since they inventory all their chemicals and finished goods by lot number, the process of locating the First Expired, First Out (FEFO) quantity of their chemicals could sometimes end up being a long and tedious process.
