LabelNow vs. ProductVision

PV is great for developing new formulations and moving them to production without exporting to other software. It helps track raw materials for both lab and manufacturing use. Background work is required to add new raw materials to make them available, but it is not overwhelming or difficult, just tedious sometimes

Incentivized

• Raw material management
• Formula versioning
• formula comparison

Incentivized

• A more intuitive interface would be helpful
• Easier formula copying for new prototypes
• More area for version descriptions

Incentivized

It makes it possible to move from lab to shop floor fast with accurate formulation tracking and versioning. The ability to cost out prototypes really helps when looing for material cost savings and formula optimization. It provides great theoretical properties to use in designed experiments generated by software such as Minitab.

Incentivized

ProductVision is more powerful and flexible, with the ability to calculate more theoretical properties and better search functions. PV integrates with other software systems better and is more compatible with software such as Excel and Minitab for functions such as statistical analysis and presentation preparation. Much more useful in general than BatchMaster.

Incentivized

• The ease of developing and tracking new prototypes has a positive effect.
• Raw material pricing helps optimize raw material costs for new formulas.
• Couples with ERP it is easy to realize cost savings for new formulas i.e $250 K per year for version 2 vs. version 1.
