Solution · Formulation

Formulation software for food, beverage, and supplement brands.

One formulation environment for every category your team works in. Spreadsheet-familiar, with the safeguards R&D and QA actually need - version control, audit history, stage gating, and production-ready locking. Formulate by pricing, goals, or claims.

Formula control

Structured and traceable at every stage.

Version & audit

  • Full version history with change tracking
  • User-based audit on every edit
  • Approval workflows and stage gates
  • Locking for production versions
  • Locking tied to ingredients, claims, and goals
  • Unlimited formulas and versioning

Formula structure

  • Process steps for standardized formulation
  • Subrecipe management
  • Reusable base formulas
  • Controlled edits across linked formulas
  • Automated scaling across product variations
  • Mass and volumetric formulation

Formulation goals

  • Nutrient goals
  • Price goals
  • Claims
  • Allergens
  • Other label-driven requirements
  • Customized goals
Formulate by

Pricing, goals, or claims - your call.

Formulate by Pricing

Set cost ceilings per unit or per serving. SKUsafe surfaces ingredient swaps that hit your COGS target without breaking the spec.

Formulate by Goals

Define nutrient, allergen, and label-driven targets up front. The formula is evaluated against your goals on every edit.

Formulate by Claims

Pick the claims you want on the front of pack - high-protein, low-sugar, keto, organic - and formulate against the thresholds that back them up.

Food

Food formulation that accounts for the real world.

Processing loss

Account for total product loss during production, including line loss and yield impacts. Finished formulas reflect what reaches the pack-out stage - not what went into the mixer.

Bake loss

Model moisture and weight changes during baking so the final formula and nutritional output reflect the product as sold.

Moisture loss

Adjust for evaporation, cooking, and drying-related moisture changes. Critical when nutrition values need to match the finished product.

Fat loss

Model fat rendered off during cooking, frying, or processing so the finished panel reflects what actually ships - not what went into the pan.

Overrun

Account for air incorporated during whipping, freezing, or aeration. Ice cream, mousses, and aerated products formulate against true finished volume.

Byproduct management

Track byproducts that result from processing so teams can manage yield, formulation accuracy, and product consistency.

Beverages

Volumetric by default. Mass when you need it.

Dilution & throws

Model dilution and throw-off values so teams can account for yield changes during beverage production or blending.

Brix

Track sugar concentration and solution strength as part of the formulation and adjustment workflow.

Densities

Density-based calculations to manage ingredient behavior, scaling, and finished product consistency.

ABV

Alcohol by volume calculations with the flexibility needed for beverages that depend on strength, dilution, or density inputs.

Mass & volumetric

Formulate across both measurement methods in the same workflow - the units match your production process.

Automated panels

Fact Panels update as the formula changes. Beverage labeling for US, CA, EU, and MX.

Supplements

Supplement math, first-class.

Overages

Build potency overages into the formula so finished product hits label claim through end of shelf life.

Potency

Track active potency by ingredient, lot, and finished dose. Carry assay values through to the label.

Protein completeness / PDCAAS

Evaluate protein quality with PDCAAS scoring across blended sources. Formulate against complete-protein claims with the math behind them.

Custom nutrients

Add nutrients and actives that aren't in the standard database - botanicals, proprietary blends, custom ingredients - and treat them as first-class.

Proprietary blends

Manage blends in a way that keeps the label aligned with the formula while supporting required disclosure rules.

Label claims

Tie supplement claims to the formula data that supports them. Lock the version when the claim ships.
