ERP for cosmetics manufacturing

From idea to shipment, one system.

Manufio is an end-to-end ERP built for cosmetics manufacturers. Every step is batch-traceable, from formula to production, quarantine to shipment — paperless and audit-ready.

Not a generic ERP — built for a cosmetics factory

Manufio was born from the needs of a factory that has manufactured cosmetics for three generations — not from a software company. Every screen was tested on a real production floor.

🧪

By a manufacturer, for manufacturers

From bulk tank to filling line, from private-label clients to own-brand launches — cosmetics-specific workflows come built in, not customized in.

🚧

Gates, not warnings

The out-of-spec path is not visible — it is impossible: unreleased stock cannot ship, nobody approves their own analysis, the person who filled cannot receive. No override button.

🔍

End-to-end traceability

An unbroken trail from raw material lot to finished shipment: which batch used which materials, who approved it, where it went — in one click.

Modules

One system, one dataset: modules are connected — a sales order triggers production, production triggers procurement, quality gates shipping.

⚗️

Formulas & Costing

Percentage-based bulk formulas, versioning, unit/container checks, live costing and export pricing.

🏭

Production

Task-based operator workflow, bulk→fill splitting, size/variant breakdown, mass balance, waste tracking.

🛡️

Quality & GMP

Quarantine & release, four-eyes approvals, deviation/CAPA, stability and microbiology records.

🔬

Lab & R&D

Sample management, scale-up approval, INCI label generator, shelf life and export compliance.

📦

Warehouse & Logistics

Lot-based stock, FEFO rotation, multi-warehouse, goods receipt checks, shipments and delivery notes.

🛒

Procurement

Multi-supplier RFQs, cheapest-quote comparison, PO approval thresholds, PO↔receipt matching.

💼

Sales & Marketplaces

Order→production→shipment chain, customer/brand hierarchy, marketplace integration.

📊

Finance & Reports

Multi-currency pricing, central bank rates, bank statement import, accounting export.

🧾

Compliance

Regulatory notifications, e-signed approvals, audit trail, ALCOA data integrity.

👥

Roles & Permissions

Dynamic screen-level permission matrix: operators see only their tasks, formulas stay confidential.

Audit-ready every day

GMP requirements are not bolted-on reports — they are the backbone of the system:

Gates, not warnings — where we draw the line

A warning is a memory-dependent control: someone has to notice it and choose to act. That is exactly why it fails on a busy day. So in Manufio, critical rules are not visible — they are impassable.

The irreversible is a hard block

Anything that moves goods or money: unreleased stock physically cannot ship, nobody approves their own analysis, the person who filled a batch cannot receive it into the warehouse. There is no override button.

A heuristic signal is a soft warning

Checks that can false-positive — unit-mismatch detection, "this quantity looks 10x off" — warn instead of blocking. Block on a noisy signal and people stop trusting the system; that is its own failure mode.

Strictness is a setting, the class is not

Some gates ship with adjustable strictness: a one-chemist lab cannot run four-eyes approval on day one — the gate ships off and turns on as the team grows. But the "blockable" class of irreversible operations never changes with any setting.

The out-of-spec path should not be visible — it should be impossible.

Deployment that fits you

Both models run the same system — you decide where the data lives.

MigrationData transfer

Delivered ready-to-run with products, formulas, stock and accounts imported from Excel and existing systems.

Not just cosmetics

Manufio was born in a cosmetics factory, but its backbone is recipe-based batch manufacturing: it runs with the same discipline in any production that has formulas, lots, shelf life and quality control.

🧴

Cosmetics & Personal Care

Our core focus: shampoo, creams, serums, perfume — GMP-compliant end-to-end flow.

🧼

Cleaning Products & Detergents

Surface cleaners, liquid soap, laundry products: bulk mixing, filling and variant management work identically.

💊

Supplements & Vitamins

Lot tracking, expiry/FEFO, stability and microbiology records are mandatory infrastructure for supplement production.

🌿

Dermocosmetics

Strict quality gates, quarantine and traceability map directly to dermocosmetic regulations.

🕯️

Home Fragrance & Candles

Essence recipes, packaging variety and collection/set management come built in.

⚗️

Essences & Aromas

Formula confidentiality, supplier RFQs and multi-currency costing are the essence maker’s daily needs.
