Feature Deep Dive
A detailed walkthrough of all 8 integrated modules — what each one does, how it connects, and what problems it solves for your chemical manufacturing operation.
Bill of Materials & Recipe Management
Build the foundation of your entire operation. Define complete material masters, design multi-phase recipes, and manage Bill of Materials with full version control and authentication.
- Masters for Finished Goods, Intermediates, Raw Materials, and Packing materials
- Hazard information and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) embedded in material records
- Multi-phase recipe procedures with Pre-Batch and Post-Batch instructions
- Multiple BOM and Recipe versions per product — with modification authentication
- Complete recipe history preserved for audit and regulatory compliance
- Vendor and customer master with billing profiles and GST/Tax configurations
Purchase Orders & Vendor Management
Manage the complete procurement lifecycle — from RFQ to goods receipt — with QA gating that ensures only approved raw materials enter your production workflow.
- Purchase requests, quotation comparison, and purchase order generation
- Goods Receipt with mandatory QA clearance before stock entry
- Vendor performance scoring based on quality inspection results
- Label printing for raw material drums and packaging on receipt
- MRP-linked procurement — system auto-suggests POs based on production demand
- Payment terms tracking and vendor due-date alerts
Stock Control & Material Resource Planning
Know exactly what you have, where it is, and when you'll run out — with automated MRP calculations that align procurement to your production schedule.
- Real-time stock positions for FG, RM, Intermediates, and Packaging
- FIFO-based material allocation for production batches
- Automatic reorder alerts when stock falls below defined minimums
- Stock reconciliation and physical count tools
- MRP engine calculates procurement requirements from pending production plan
- Multi-location and multi-store support for larger facilities
Production Scheduling & Batch Management
Plan, execute, and track every production batch with full material consumption recording, reactor scheduling, and batch-level cost analysis.
- Create production batches from Sales Orders or independently
- BOM-based material issuing with FIFO lot allocation and variance recording
- Multi-stage batch procedures with phase-wise instructions and sign-offs
- Reactor and equipment scheduling to avoid production conflicts
- Batch-wise costing against standard price list — variance analysis
- Yield calculation, rework tracking, and waste reconciliation
Parametric QC & Test Certificate Management
Parametric quality control that flows from raw material receipt through finished goods dispatch. Graphical trend analysis drives continuous improvement in formulations.
- Define QC parameters for FG, RM, and Packaging — numeric, text, or selection types
- Fully customisable, revisioned Test Certificate formats with email dispatch
- Graphical historical QC trend analysis across batches
- Vendor approval workflow based on structured quality inspection scoring
- Failed batch investigation via traceable RM quality control reports
- QA clearance gates RM from procurement into the production workflow
Order Management & Dispatch Automation
From order creation to doorstep delivery, CATALYST manages the complete customer fulfilment cycle with automated alerts, e-way bill generation, and direct invoice emailing.
- Sales orders with verification, customer PO scan storage, and GST handling
- Customer segmentation by type, performance tier, or custom groups
- FG stock alerts when inventory falls below minimum defined levels
- Expected dispatch date tracking with escalation alerts on delay
- Automated multi-part contractual order scheduling
- Automated E-Way Bills, customisable invoice formats, email dispatch
Costing, Price Management & Tally Integration
Cost Analysis
Track production costs batch-by-batch against your standard price list. Understand actual vs. projected costs in real time.
Price List Management
Maintain customer-specific and product-specific pricing. Auto-apply correct prices to sales orders with override controls.
Tally Integration
Optional add-on that exports purchase and sales ledger data to Tally automatically — eliminating double data entry.
Business Intelligence Across All Modules
Procurement Reports
Track POs, vendor performance, goods receipt status, and payment terms across all suppliers.
Inventory Reports
Real-time stock positions, movement history, reconciliation, and reorder status across all material categories.
Production Reports
Batch-level analysis, yield tracking, production log review, batch failure investigation, and scheduling history.
QC Reports
Parameter-wise test results, trend graphs, vendor quality scoring, and certificate issuance history.
Sales Reports
Order fulfilment rates, dispatch performance, customer-wise analysis, and revenue tracking.
Costing & Profitability
