The Reality
Chemical manufacturers need more than a generic ERP.
Chemical manufacturing introduces requirements that basic accounting systems and generic manufacturing software are often not designed to manage. As your business grows, you may face:
Formula and specification complexity
Safety data sheet and hazardous material management
Volatile raw material costs
Batch and lot traceability requirements
Expiration dates and FEFO inventory processes
Manual production and warehouse processes
Quality inspections throughout production
Regulatory and customer documentation
Disconnected financial, quality, and operational systems
Alchemy 365 helps bring these processes together through a chemical manufacturing ERP solution designed around how your business actually operates.
One connected solution
Three components. One coordinated plan.
Our solution combines Microsoft’s cloud ERP, Yaveon’s chemical industry software, and Alchemy 365’s implementation approach — so you know who is responsible and how everything fits together.

Performs quality inspections
Maintains safety and regulatory documentation
Struggles with inventory visibility
Uses separate systems for accounting, quality, inventory, and production
Tracks raw materials and finished goods by batch or lot
Manages hazardous substances
Needs stronger production costing
Relies on manual traceability processes
Wants a modern cloud ERP built on the Microsoft platform
Connect all of your departments in one easy to use interface
