Our chemical manufacturing ERP supports real-world operations, from raw material management and batch processing to safety records and compliance documentation. By integrating formulation control, production management, and end-to-end traceability in one platform,

Klipboard helps manufacturers maintain consistency, meet regulatory and customer expectations, respond quickly to quality or safety incidents, and protect margins in competitive local and export markets. 

 

The challenges you face

Manufacturing Challenges

We Understand the Challenges You're Facing

You’re not just producing chemicals—you’re managing precise formulations, controlling safety risks, tracking regulated materials, and meeting demanding customer specifications. Working with chemical manufacturers across industrial, agricultural, and manufacturing sectors, we understand the production, compliance, and asset management challenges you face.

  • Regulatory Compliance and Safety Documentation: Chemical manufacturers must maintain SDS records, hazardous material registers, and audit-ready documentation aligned with GHS labelling and local African regulations. Accurate management across production, storage, and distribution requires structured, system-driven ERP control.

  • Formulation Precision and Batch Consistency: Chemical products depend on precise formulations and controlled parameters. Managing recipes, tracking formulation changes, and maintaining batch-to-batch consistency are essential to product quality and customer confidence. 

 

  • Row Material Traceability and Quality Control: Materials must be traceable from receipt through production to finished goods, enabling rapid identification of affected batches and root causes when quality issues arise.

  • Hazardous Material Handling and Inventory Control: Special storage, handling, and reporting requirements add complexity. Accurate stock visibility, location tracking, and compliance records are critical to safe, compliant operations. 

We've seen it, we've heard it - and we've built Klipboard Manufacturing to help you take control of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is chemical manufacturing software?

Chemical manufacturing software helps you manage the specific requirements of chemical production - including formulation management, batch processing, traceability, and compliance documentation. Klipboard Manufacturing provides these capabilities alongside core ERP functions like inventory control, production planning, and costing.

How does chemical production management software improve operations?

It connects your formulation management, batch production, and quality documentation in one system. This gives you visibility of raw material availability, batch status, and costs - reducing manual tracking, improving traceability, and helping you meet compliance requirements more efficiently.

Why is batch traceability important in chemical manufacturing?

Batch traceability allows you to track materials from receipt through production to customer delivery. When quality issues arise, you can quickly identify affected batches, trace back to raw material sources, and trace forward to customer shipments - essential for quality management and regulatory compliance.

What does chemical compliance software do?

It helps you maintain the documentation and records required for regulatory compliance. This includes batch records, material traceability, quality test results, and the ability to demonstrate control over your production processes when required by regulators or customers.

How does formulation management software help chemical manufacturers?

It allows you to manage product recipes with precise specifications, control formulation versions, and ensure production uses the correct recipe every time. This supports product consistency, simplifies engineering changes, and helps maintain accurate costing.

Can chemical manufacturing software handle hazardous materials?

Klipboard Manufacturing provides inventory management and traceability that supports your hazardous material handling requirements. You can track materials by location, maintain batch records, and generate the documentation needed for regulatory reporting.

Is chemical manufacturing software suitable for SMEs?

Yes. Small and medium chemical manufacturers often benefit most from proper production management software, as they typically have less margin for error on compliance and quality. Klipboard Manufacturing scales with your business - providing the control you need whether you're a growing producer or an established operation.
