Engineering for chemistry & formulation
We replace shared spreadsheets, mailbox-based supplier onboarding, and PDF graveyards with a single platform formulators, regulatory, and QA actually want to use.
- Ingredient database and supplier portal
- Formula management system (versioning, percentages, cost rollup)
- SDS / COA / TDS parsing and structured extraction
- Regulatory compliance workflows (FDA, EU, REACH, IFRA)
- Batch tracking and QA documentation
- Vendor onboarding and sample request tracking
- AI search across formulas, ingredients, documents, and claims
- Allergen, claims, and labeling rule engines
- Lab notebook + stability study tracking

Frequently asked questions
- What does NextGen build for software for formulators, not generic erps?
- We replace shared spreadsheets, mailbox-based supplier onboarding, and PDF graveyards with a single platform formulators, regulatory, and QA actually want to use. Typical scope covers ingredient database and supplier portal, formula management system (versioning, percentages, cost rollup), sds / coa / tds parsing and structured extraction, regulatory compliance workflows (fda, eu, reach, ifra) — delivered by senior U.S.-based engineers who stay on the engagement through production and handover.
- Which software for formulators, not generic erps projects are the best fit?
- The strongest fits are flavor & fragrance houses, cosmetics & personal care, nutraceuticals & supplements. If the work touches regulated data, legacy integrations, or a delivery deadline you can't miss, that's exactly where an embedded senior pod pays for itself.
- How quickly can a team start?
- Most engagements begin within 7-14 days of the scoping call. We pre-vet engineers by domain, so you get someone who has shipped comparable systems instead of a generalist learning on your budget.
- How is the engagement priced?
- Indicative pricing for this scope is From $40,000 build · $4,000/month managed. Fixed-scope builds are quoted after a short discovery and architecture sprint; dedicated pods run on transparent monthly rates.
- Is delivery onshore?
- Yes. Delivery is 100% U.S.-based on Eastern-time hours, with senior leadership in the NYC metro available for on-site working sessions, architecture reviews, and stakeholder demos.
