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

What teams get

Faster formula iteration

Version control + cost rollup means R&D ships in days, not weeks.

Audit-ready records

Every batch, SDS, and supplier change is traceable.

Knowledge that compounds

AI search turns 20 years of formulas and tests into a query box.

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.
