In Xentral, each formulation is created with raw materials, precise quantities, processing steps, and quality parameters securely versioned in the cloud. Granular role and permission management ensure only authorized users can view or modify formulas.

Products are organized hierarchically: base formulation plus variants. Color and size codes as well as SKUs are generated automatically and can be integrated via Xentral Connect or open APIs.

The production optimizer automatically plans sequencing, setup times, and cleaning intervals, minimizing downtime and maximizing machine utilization.

Each batch receives a unique batch ID. Xentral documents raw material batches, production steps, and quality inspections through to the finished product — including electronic batch records.

Test data is stored in a structured format per product batch. Regulatory-compliant reports, including documentation for certification bodies, are available at the click of a button.

Based on stored raw material data, Xentral generates INCI lists sorted by concentration. If a formulation changes, declarations are automatically updated and compliance alerts are triggered.

Xentral creates SDS documents based on raw material and formulation data. Country-specific regulations are built in, and updates are centrally managed and automated.

Suppliers and sub-suppliers, including certifications, audits, and documentation, are mapped in Xentral. Raw material origins can be traced back to their source.

Xentral automatically tracks price history, analyzes fluctuations, generates purchasing recommendations, and displays budget deviations in real time.

Using unique batch IDs and centralized documentation, you can identify affected batches and distribution channels within seconds, including customer data exports.

The FIFO module monitors expiration dates, alerts you to critical stock levels, and ensures picking always follows the oldest batches first.
