Custom software
Systems built for how your business actually runs, replacing the spreadsheets and workarounds holding it together.
How it worksAll industries
Regulated production
Yield, and the paperwork that lets you ship it.
Recipe and batch control, tank and bulk inventory, hazardous handling documentation, and consumption tracking built for variable yield.
Where the standard system leaves the cost in place.
Chemical manufacturing breaks discrete software in a specific place: quantities are not counts. Material is held in tanks, dispatched in drums, tankers, and bulk, measured by weight, volume, and concentration, and a batch that yields ninety-four percent one week yields ninety-one the next. On top of that sits a licensing and reporting regime that treats storage limits and effluent as seriously as it treats the product. A system that assumes pieces on a shelf cannot carry any of it. Each of these is a margin problem wearing an administrative disguise.
- Recipes live in spreadsheets that scale by multiplication, so density, concentration, and moisture corrections are applied from memory.
- Actual yield against theoretical yield is calculated at month-end, by which point the batches that lost material cannot be investigated.
- Tank and silo stock is reconciled from dip readings into a separate sheet, so book stock and physical stock diverge quietly.
- The same material is bought in kilograms, held in litres, and sold by drum, and the conversions are done by whoever raises the document.
- Storage licence limits, effluent load, and consent conditions are tracked outside the system that actually knows what is in the yard.
Built for chemicals.
Built on the same core our products run on, extended with the records and rules this sector is actually judged against. These are scopes we build and integrate, not shelf modules with a licence key.
Recipe and formula management
Versioned recipes with density, concentration, and assay corrections applied by the system, scaling that respects the chemistry rather than multiplying a spreadsheet, and substitution rules for grade changes.
Batch and campaign production
Batch orders with actual against theoretical yield, rework and reprocessing recorded as what it is, and by-product and co-product output costed rather than ignored.
Bulk, tank and drum inventory
Storage-level stock across tanks, silos, and packed goods, with dip and weighbridge readings reconciled inside the system and multi-unit conversion handled once, centrally.
Hazard and storage control
Safety data sheets held against material, storage compatibility and segregation rules enforced at the location, and licensed quantity limits monitored against what is actually held.
Utility and effluent consumption
Power, water, steam, and fuel consumption attributed to batches so conversion cost is real, with effluent and emission figures captured for the returns that need them.
Dangerous goods dispatch
Packing, labelling, and transport documentation generated with the dispatch, including the vehicle and driver documentation the consignment is not allowed to leave without.
What it has to be able to prove.
Compliance fails when it is a parallel activity. These obligations are carried by the system that runs the operation, so the evidence exists because of how work was recorded rather than because someone assembled it afterwards.
Licensed quantity discipline
Explosives, petroleum, and hazardous storage approvals carry quantity and location limits. The system holds those limits against real stock, so an exceedance is prevented rather than discovered at inspection.
Pollution control returns
Consent conditions, consumption, and effluent figures assembled from operational records, so periodic returns are compiled rather than estimated the week they are due.
Transport and tax documentation
Hazard classification, transport emergency documentation, and statutory invoicing and e-way bill generation driven from the same dispatch record.
What it runs on.
The sector layer is built. The operational core underneath it is not a proposal: it is running in production with clients today.

What it returns.
Yield loss becomes visible while it matters
Variance is calculated per batch as it closes, so the cause can still be found on the plant rather than in a month-end report.
One conversion, applied everywhere
Units are converted by the system rather than by the person raising the document, so purchase, production, stock, and sale agree.
Licence and consent exposure is monitored
Stored quantities are checked against approved limits continuously instead of being reconstructed for an inspection.
Where this normally starts.
Which of these applies depends on how well the constraint is already understood. A review that finds the real one usually turns into a build.
Process automation
Removing the approvals, handoffs, follow-ups, and reconciliation that quietly consume your team's week.
How it worksQuestions we actually get asked.
Our yields vary batch to batch. Does that break the costing?
It breaks costing in systems that assume a fixed bill of material, which is most of them. We model theoretical and actual separately, so the variance is a measured figure with a batch attached to it rather than an error to be absorbed. That variance is usually the most useful number the system produces.
We sell the same product in drums, tankers, and bulk. Can one system handle it?
Yes, provided conversion is defined once at the material level rather than repeated in every transaction. That is a modelling decision made at the start, and getting it right is the difference between a system that reconciles and one that argues with itself.
Can you connect plant instrumentation and weighbridges?
Where there is an interface, we read from it directly. Weighbridges, tank gauging, and flow meters are common integrations and they remove the transcription step that causes most stock disputes. Where equipment is genuinely closed, we use a controlled manual capture point instead, with the reading attributed to a person and a time.
