Formulas.
Versions.
Variants.

Develop the formula, manage its history, and find the version you actually made. Without another folder full of files.

The formula and process, together.

Ingredients, percentages, vessels, equipment, and process all belong to one working formula. Change the composition without maintaining a separate document for the method.

Keep working.
Your edits are saved.

Autosave keeps the working formula up to date as you edit.

You don't need to create a named version for every adjustment. Keep developing the working copy, then save a new version when you're ready.

Control your versions or let formulator OS do it for you.

Choose your own version numbers, or let formulator OS assign them based on the scope and intensity of your changes when you save a new version.

Your history, in one place

Find saved versions from the formula you're working on, rather than hunting through separately named copies.

Linked batch records

See which version a batch used without matching up the records yourself.

Different directions.
One connected history.

Start a variant from a saved version, right inside the formula's history. Develop the alternative without managing it as an unrelated file.

The original, saved versions, and related variants stay connected, so you can follow where each direction started.

Your stocks belong here too.

Keep concentrates and prepared solutions in their own library, with the same working-copy, saved-version, and history structure.

Composition and process

Store the ingredients, percentages, and preparation steps with the stock, rather than copying them into separate notes.

The exact stock version

When you use a stock in a formula, its version stays linked. You can trace what went into the formula without reconstructing it later.

Take that version to the bench.

Create a Sample or Batch from the saved Formula or Stock version you want to make. Set the amount, then keep the actual quantities, lots, and observations with the build record.

Next, see how formulator OS supports the batch itself, from preparation through reviewed closeout.
