This lowers risk and allows staff to spend more time on product innovation and less on manual keying, reporting, and other lower value tasks.Document generation synchronizes repository information with predefined word document templates: this facilitates the production of technical fact sheets, packaging labels, bid response.

Formulation & Regulatory Compliance Management: Increase R&D productivity

Lascom CPG Formulation module allows users to create, modify, review, edit, simulate, and optimize formulations and provides full support for almost any formulation property, including chemical, physical, nutritional, allergen, cost, etc. The Formulation module is a specialized integration with Microsoft Excel, which leverages Excel's capabilities as a calculator and viewer, while all data and information is managed centrally within the CPG Solution's Product Information Repository.

The CPG Solution enables companies to more effectively collaborate with their suppliers in order to capture ingredient specifications, request certifications, and manage tender responses.

Captured information, once validated, can be directly imported into the product information repository saving time and minimizing the risk of rekeying errors.

In addition, all information exchanges are automatically tracked by the system enabling the generation of management reports as well as complete audit capabilities.

Change Management: Minimizing risk through effective change management
