    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

    Scenario in which Propel is best on the grounds are : 1. Customer support is very enriching and helpful. 2. OMS electronic system is best part of it. 3. Salesforce platform is very user friendly. Scenario in which it needs improvement: 1. Platform releases sometimes affect business operation. 2. Preview and collaboration should be made very user friendly. 3. Variant and sharing management could be improved.

    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.

    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.
