Formulas, batches and packs, in litres and kilos.
Chemicals, paints and coatings are made by formula, measured in litres and kilos, tested batch by batch and filled into drums, tins and pails. Kreon has built software for businesses in this trade. It manages formulas with density conversion, records batch test results and tinting, and accounts for pack sizes and returnable containers, which software made for counted items cannot do.
The details generic software gets wrong.
Litres and kilos
You buy by weight and often sell by volume. Density must convert between the two for every material and batch.
Shade and batch variation
Two batches of the same shade can differ. Batch numbers, tinting additions and test results must stay with the stock.
Many pack sizes
One batch is filled into several pack sizes. Filling loss and container consumption must be accounted for each time.
Returnable containers
Drums and carboys go to customers and should come back. Without a container account, they are neither returned nor billed.

Questions, answered.
Can formulas be protected from staff?
Yes. Formula access is controlled by user role. The shop floor can be shown only the batch sheet with quantities to charge, with material codes in place of names if you prefer.
Does it handle adjustments made during a batch?
Yes. Additions made to correct viscosity, shade or strength are recorded against the batch. The actual consumption and cost then reflect what really went in, not only the standard formula.
Can it print a test certificate with each dispatch?
Yes. QC results recorded against the batch can be printed as a certificate of analysis or test report and sent with the invoice for that batch.
