ERP for the Chemical Industry
Batch, potency and hazard handling, built for your plant
Process manufacturing breaks the assumptions discrete ERP is built on. Output is a yield rather than a count, input potency varies by lot so quantities must be adjusted, and by-products carry value. Add hazard classification and pollution-control reporting and a general ERP becomes a poor fit quickly. We extend our ERP core with the process modules your plant needs.
The demo opens in a new tab: pick a sample company and a role, no sign-up needed.

What goes wrong in chemicals & process
Recipes assume fixed quantities
When an input's assay varies lot to lot, a fixed recipe either wastes material or misses specification. The quantity must scale with potency.
Yield variance is invisible
Process losses vary by batch and season. Without batch-level yield capture, the cost of a poor run is spread across good ones.
By-products are written off
Saleable by-products and recovered solvent carry real value that discrete costing has no way to credit back to the batch.
Hazard documentation is manual
MSDS sheets, transport classification and packaging labels are maintained separately from the item master and drift out of sync.
What chemicals & process businesses need from an ERP
Some of these are already in the Orus ERP; others are configured or built for your plant. The feature catalogue shows the current status of every feature, and we confirm the rest on a demo call.
Formulation and recipe management
Versioned recipes with scaling, substitution rules and target versus actual yield captured per batch.
Potency-based issue
Input quantity adjusted automatically from the assay of the specific lot issued, so a 92% pure lot is dosed differently from a 98% one.
Batch costing with by-product credit
Batch cost net of recovered solvent and saleable by-product, which is the only way process margin reads correctly.
Quality and CoA
In-process and final testing against specification, with Certificates of Analysis generated per batch for dispatch.
MSDS and hazard classification
Safety data sheets, UN numbers, transport class and packaging group held against the item and printed onto labels and shipping documents.
Effluent and consumption records
Water, effluent and hazardous waste quantities recorded in the formats pollution-control boards ask for.

Rules your setup has to handle
The statutory requirements we plan for when scoping a chemicals & process build. Ask us which are covered by the core today and which are built for you.
We speak your language
Terms we work with when scoping your build.
- Assay / potency
- The active concentration of a lot. Issue quantities scale inversely with it.
- Yield variance
- Actual output against theoretical output for a batch — the primary process efficiency measure.
- CoA
- Certificate of Analysis — the test results dispatched with a batch.
- Toll manufacturing
- Processing a customer's material for a conversion fee, with GST job-work implications.
Who this is for
- Speciality and fine chemical manufacturers
- Agrochemical, paint, adhesive and coating producers
- Toll manufacturers processing customer-supplied material
- Process units where yield and potency drive cost more than labour does
Questions from chemicals & process buyers
Does it handle co-products and by-products?
Yes, as part of your industry build. A batch can produce a primary output plus co-products and recoverable solvent, each valued and credited against the batch cost. Without that, process costing systematically overstates the primary product's cost.
Can we manage toll manufacturing for customers?
It can be built with the material held as customer-owned, conversion charged as a service, and the GST job-work provisions applied including the return-period tracking.
Is it validated for pharmaceutical manufacturing?
Not out of the box. This covers chemical process manufacturing; formal GMP computerised-system validation for a regulated pharma plant is a separate scope. We will say so rather than imply coverage we do not have — tell us if that is your requirement.
