Chemistry is a batch record business. The formulation is the asset, the lot number is the proof, and a complaint about a drum delivered eight months ago has to be traceable back to the batch it came from and to the raw materials in it. Alongside that sits a less discussed problem, which is who is allowed to see or change a formulation. Alibera keeps stock by lot, logs every change to the record with a user name and timestamp, and scopes access by role and department so a formulation is not simply open to everyone with a login.
01What it has to do
The capabilities below are the ones that come up first in discovery calls with companies in this category.
01
Every login, change and deletion is logged with the user name, a timestamp and a description of the action. It is a core feature rather than a paid extra, so when a customer asks who changed a quantity or a specification, there is an answer.
02
Stock, orders, receiving and shipping in one place, with barcode and parcel tracking. Warehouse and logistics systems can be synced one way or both ways depending on what the business actually needs.
03
Permissions by role, department and location, with inheritance, and two factor authentication on by default in the cloud. A separate staging environment lets you test a change before it reaches production.
02In this category
Every process below runs on the same core system. The differences show up in configuration, in which modules you switch on, and in what gets integrated.
03Where to go next
Three pages cover most of what gets asked after this one.
A discovery call is a conversation about your process, not a scripted product walkthrough. If Alibera is a poor fit for what you make, we will say so on that call.
