Your existing ERP stays in place
We do not replace Logo, Mikro, Netsis, SAP or CanIAS. Accounting, e-invoicing and statutory processes continue in your current system; we build the chemicals-specific operational layer that works alongside it.
SECTOR SOFTWARE · CHEMICALS AND CHEMICAL PRODUCTION
We make your chemical production traceable from recipe to dispatch.
Pan Enterprise Solutions, the software arm of Pan Innovation House · based in Gaziantep, Türkiye, with a London office
In most chemical producers, formulation, batch production, lot traceability, laboratory quality control, compliance with SDS and KKDİK (the Turkish REACH regulation), and ADR shipping are scattered across Excel, paper and external consultants. Without replacing your existing Logo, Mikro, Netsis or SAP system, we develop a chemicals-specific operational software layer that works alongside it.
Asking about price? We listen to the scope in a short call and share the budget frame and timeline in writing. The first 30-minute call is free; the scope of an on-site discovery, and its fee if any, is agreed in writing during that call.
We work on site for plants in and around Gaziantep; elsewhere in Türkiye and abroad, discovery starts by video call and a visit is planned if needed. Our London office is at Unit 6 Cranford Way, Hornsey, London N8 9DG.
Scoped in discovery Proposed modules: chemicals-specific operational modules (recipes, traceability, LIMS, SDS/ADR...). Not every company needs all of them.
Your ERP stays Logo, Mikro, Netsis or SAP stays in place; the connection route depends on version and licence and is agreed in writing during discovery.
Batch End-to-end traceability from raw-material lot to customer shipment
Source code handover Handover terms are written into the contract; third-party components remain under their own licences.
Does this sound familiar?
The picture we see most often in chemical production.
If even one of the sentences below is yours, you are on the right page.
- Recipes and formulations live in Excel or in the master operator's head; they are out of sync with the ERP's bill of materials, revisions are not versioned, and confidential formulas are poorly protected.
- Batch/lot traceability is not end-to-end; in a complaint or recall, working out which raw-material lot went into which batch and to which customer takes hours or even days.
- Laboratory quality results are on paper or in Excel; CoAs (certificates of analysis) are written by hand, and batch disposition (accept/reject/hold) is not automatically linked to stock status.
- A rejected or on-hold batch can be shipped by mistake because there is no stock lock; there is no automatic alert on an out-of-spec (OOS) result.
- SDS/GBF and KKDİK compliance depends largely on external consultants; when regulations change, SDS revisions are not distributed to customers automatically, and out-of-date forms can circulate in the field.
- ADR data (UN numbers, hazard classes, packing groups) sits in Excel, disconnected from the ERP; shipments/despatch notes are matched to transport documents and TMGD (dangerous goods safety advisor) reports by hand, with a risk of incorrect declarations.
- Expiry and retest date tracking is weak; without FEFO discipline, chemicals past their shelf life stay in stock, and no alert mechanism exists.
- True batch costs are unclear; because energy, waste, reactor time and labour are not allocated correctly to the batch, quoting and pricing rest on guesswork and margin erosion goes unseen.
- Shop-floor data collection is not digital; weighing, dosing, reactor temperature/time and production confirmations are entered later from paper, so there is no real-time production visibility.
- Systems are islands: the ERP is separate, the SDS software separate, the lab Excel separate, ADR separate; the same substance data is duplicated by hand in 4-5 places, creating inconsistency and double data entry.
The software landscape today
Which software does a chemical producer use today, and where does it get stuck?
We set out the sector's current picture as it is: real tools, real limits. The custom software opportunity begins exactly where these tools end.
| Layer | Software in use today | The gap it leaves |
|---|---|---|
| ERP / accounting (the common base) | Logo Netsis 3 Enterprise / Tiger, Logo GO, Mikro, SAP (large scale), Microsoft Dynamics 365, Login ERP, CanIAS, ETA | Covers current accounts, accounting, stock, purchasing, invoicing and e-invoicing well. Chemicals-specific processes such as recipe versioning, batch traceability, LIMS, SDS/KKDİK and ADR are covered superficially or not at all; in practice these gaps are closed with Excel and paper. |
| Production / recipe-formulation | Logo Netsis production & recipe module (alternative recipes), Login ERP formulation/reactor tracking, SAP PP-PI at large scale; rarely BatchMaster, Sage X3, Aptean Process ERP | Holds a rough bill of materials. Lab-pilot-production scale-up, revision history, role-based access to confidential formulas and deriving theoretical cost/SDS components from the recipe are mostly missing; in SMEs the recipe often stays in Excel. |
| LIMS / laboratory quality control | Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS (represented by Integron), LabWare LIMS, LabVantage, Centra LIMS; Thermo Chromeleon CDS for chromatography | Powerful, but positioned for the scale and budget of large/accredited laboratories. Most SME chemical producers have no separate LIMS; QC records are kept in Excel/on paper, and batch disposition is not automatically linked to a stock lock. |
| SDS/GBF & labels + KKDİK/REACH/CLP-SEA compliance | Lisam ExESS (the most widespread, multilingual), ChemRAS LogicSDS, Chemleg EPY, MARKA GBF software | Produces GHS-compliant 16-section safety data sheets and CLP/SEA labels. Rather than buying software, SMEs usually hand the work to consultants such as Lisam, Kavi, TTS, Bureau Veritas and TÜV; automatic distribution of SDS revisions by product/customer usually does not exist. |
| KKDİK / Turkish REACH registration | IUCLID (technical dossier format), KKS - the Chemical Registration System (ministry portal); the process mostly runs through consultants (Kavi, Pier Compliance, Bureau Veritas, TÜV Austria, TTS, Asan) and certified chemical assessment experts (KDU) | Requires pre-registration, an IUCLID technical dossier, a Chemical Safety Report above 10 tonnes and KDU approval. Firms rarely manage this in-house with software; tonnage-band monitoring and reminders are mostly manual and dependent on external consultants. |
| Dangerous goods (ADR) & TMGD | ADR documentation tools such as DG Assistant / DGRoute, TMGD management/reporting software; UN number-class-packing codes mostly in Excel | Produces ADR transport documents, hazard class definitions and the TMGD annual activity report, but in most firms it is not integrated with the production ERP; the shipment-ADR-TMGD match runs separately and by hand. |
| Office / auxiliary (the de facto tool) | Microsoft Excel, WhatsApp (shift/field communication), paper forms, e-mail | Recipe variants, QC results, batch records, stock counts, ADR substance lists and cost calculations mostly live here in practice. This is the most widespread real tool — and the starting point of the custom software opportunity. |

Our approach
An operational layer that digitises chemicals-specific processes — without replacing your ERP.
We preserve your existing systems and build on top of them a chemicals-specific software layer that brings recipes, traceability, lab and compliance processes into a single flow.
Recipe and formulation management
Role-based access to confidential formulas, revision history, lab-pilot-production scale-up, and automatic theoretical cost and theoretical SDS component output from the recipe. The core module that replaces Excel.
End-to-end batch/lot traceability
Raw-material lots, production batches and customer shipments are traced forwards and backwards on one screen. A simulation that quickly identifies the affected batches in a complaint or recall, provided the records are complete.
Digital data collection from the floor
Weighing, dosing confirmations, reactor temperature/time and QC sample entry are captured where the work happens, on tablets or handheld terminals. An e-batch record evidenced with photos and signatures; the paper batch file goes digital.
A light LIMS that ties quality to stock
Sample-method-specification management, automatic CoA generation and a stock lock driven by batch disposition. Rejected or on-hold batches cannot be shipped; an out-of-spec (OOS) result triggers an alert.
Compliance and management on one screen
SDS revision tracking, KKDİK tonnage-band reminders, ADR linked to shipments, FEFO/retest alerts; and for the owner, true batch costs, waste/yield, rejection rates and a compliance risk score.
Modules we can build
The right system for every layer of chemical production.
You do not have to build them all at once; we start from the process that hurts most, with the module you need.
PLM
Recipe & Formulation Management
Versioned recipes, role-based access to confidential formulas, alternative recipes, lab-pilot-production scale-up and theoretical cost/SDS component output from the recipe. Moves the Excel recipe into a single source of truth.
See the module → MESBatch Production & E-Batch Records
Work-order-based batch production, reactor parameters, raw-material consumption and waste tracking; a digital batch logbook with weighing and dosing confirmation. You see in real time how production stands on the floor.
See the module → QR
Batch/Lot Traceability Backbone
Forward and backward QR/barcode tracing from raw-material lot to customer shipment, plus recall simulation. Which lot, which batch, which customer — answered quickly when the records are complete.
LIMS
QMS Light LIMS / QC Module
Sample intake, method and specification management, automatic CoA generation, a stock lock driven by batch disposition and out-of-spec (OOS) alerts. The right scale for SMEs far from a SampleManager/LabWare budget.
SDS / KKDİK / Compliance Management
SDS revision tracking with automatic distribution to customers, KKDİK tonnage-band monitoring and reminders, retest/expiry alerts. Built to work integrated with SDS software such as Lisam ExESS.
See the module → WMS
BI Dangerous Goods (ADR) & Warehouse
UN numbers, hazard classes and packing groups linked to the product; automatic ADR transport documents and TMGD reports from shipments, and FEFO-disciplined shelf management. Shipping and ADR are no longer disconnected.
Management & Cost Panel
True batch costs, waste/yield, capacity utilisation, batch rejection rates, stock nearing expiry and a compliance risk score on a single screen. Live visibility without waiting for the end-of-day report.
See the module → APIExisting ERP & SDS Integration
Two-way data flow with systems such as Logo, Mikro, Netsis, SAP and Lisam ExESS; a middle layer with a single master record (substance/product/CAS/UN No) that reduces double entry.
See the module → BI
E-Export File Generation
Export documentation that bundles multilingual SDS, CoA, certificates of origin and ADR documents into one package. Prepares compliance evidence for EU customers demanding KKDİK/REACH in one package, not piece by piece.
Integration with your existing ERP
Digitise without throwing your systems away.
You may be using Logo, Mikro, Netsis, SAP, CanIAS or another ERP; you do not have to replace them. Pan Innovation House develops the chemicals-specific operational layer that works alongside these systems and your existing SDS software (Lisam ExESS, for example). While accounting and statutory processes remain in your current ERP, recipes, batch traceability, laboratory quality, SDS/KKDİK and ADR are managed from a single master record — and double data entry is reduced.
Our integration approach →- You do not have to replace Logo, Mikro, Netsis, SAP, CanIAS or any other ERP.
- Accounting, e-invoicing and statutory processes remain in your existing ERP.
- Recipes, batch traceability, lab quality, SDS/KKDİK and ADR are managed in the custom operational software.
- Substances, products, CAS and UN numbers are kept in a single master record, synchronised two-way with the ERP and the SDS software.
- Not a one-off transfer; continuous, automatic and controlled integration.
Outcomes
What changes in chemical production once you digitise?
- End-to-end batch traceability from raw-material lot to customer
- The scope of affected batches in recalls and audits, quickly if the records are complete
- A single, versioned, protected recipe in sync with the ERP
- Rejected batches prevented from shipping by mistake, thanks to the stock lock
- Strong laboratory quality tied to batch disposition, generating CoAs automatically
- Automatic distribution of current SDSs to customers, reducing audit and legal risk
- ADR and TMGD reporting matched automatically to shipments
- FEFO and retest alerts preventing losses from expired stock
- True batch costs including energy, waste and reactor time
- Excel and paper islands removed, double data entry ended
Process
A realistic five-stage path that begins with discovery.
- 01
Initial meeting
1 weekWe listen to your needs, your current ERP and SDS system, and your recipe and compliance priorities. We clarify expectations and shape the right scope together. The call carries no obligation. The first 30-minute call is free; the scope of an on-site discovery, and its fee if any, is agreed in writing during that call.
- 02
On-site discovery and process analysis
1-2 weeksWe come to the plant; we observe the recipe flow, batch production, the laboratory, the warehouse, and the SDS and ADR processes in person. We map your existing ERP, SDS software and Excel arrangements.
- 03
Digital transformation roadmap
1 weekWe present a clear roadmap ranking which module goes live first by benefit and priority. The quickest win usually lies in recipes and batch traceability; a staged plan that fits the field.
- 04
Module-based software development
Per moduleWe develop the modules one by one, starting from the process that hurts most, and test them on shift. We build the ERP and SDS integrations and make progress visible at every step; no surprises.
- 05
Go-live, training and support
OngoingWe train the production, laboratory and dispatch teams, take the system live and stay at your side. As regulations change and new needs emerge, the software grows with you.
Why Pan Innovation House?
A team that keeps recipes, batches and lab results in one record alongside your ERP.
A Gaziantep-based team that comes to the floor
Paints, detergents, cosmetics, construction chemicals or textile auxiliaries — we write down your recipe, batch and dispatch flow by listening to you on site. We work on site in and around Gaziantep; elsewhere in Türkiye and abroad we start remotely and plan a visit if needed.
A software approach that understands the chemical floor
We design by talking recipes, batches, reactors, shifts and the SDS/ADR process. We fit the software to the floor, not the floor to the software.
Not an off-the-shelf package — a solution built for your business
We do not force you into a mould. A paint producer and a detergent producer need different things; the software is built around your processes, and there is no charge for modules you do not use.
Digitisation without replacing your ERP
We protect your existing Logo/Mikro/Netsis/SAP investment and build on top of it. We do not put you through a risky, expensive, drawn-out ERP migration.
A view that treats compliance and traceability as one whole
Not just production; we handle batch traceability, SDS/KKDİK, ADR, integration and management reporting as a single whole.
A realistic project model that starts with on-site discovery
We come, see and listen first. We measure before we promise; we offer a workable plan, not inflated claims. The source code we write and your data are handed over to you as defined in the contract.
Frequently asked questions
Chemicals and Chemical Production software: common questions
Do we have to replace our existing Logo / Mikro / Netsis / SAP system?
No. Your existing ERP and accounting system stays in place. We build a chemicals-specific layer alongside it that manages the recipe-batch-laboratory-SDS-ADR processes and, and set up the data exchange between the two systems through the routes the ERP vendor supports (API, service layer or an approved import), without writing directly into the ERP's database tables.
Our recipes and formulations are in Excel; how do you secure them?
We move the recipes into a single source of truth and version them. Role-based access protects the confidential formula; who made which revision, and when, is recorded. Lab-pilot-production scale-up and theoretical cost/SDS component output from the recipe are our standard approach.
Does batch/lot traceability genuinely help in a recall?
Yes — that is its core purpose. Because raw-material lots, production batches and customer shipments are linked together, we provide a simulation that quickly identifies which batches are affected in a complaint or recall, and which customers received them.
We have no LIMS; can we manage laboratory quality too?
Yes. For producers whose budget does not stretch to large LIMS platforms such as SampleManager or LabWare, we build a light QC module at the right scale: sample-method-specification, automatic CoA generation and a stock lock tied to batch disposition. Rejected or on-hold batches cannot be shipped.
Does this software produce our SDS/GBF and KKDİK compliance?
Specialist software such as Lisam ExESS is strong at SDS generation, and we do not promise to replace it. What we do is track SDS revisions and distribute them to customers automatically, monitor your KKDİK tonnage band with reminders, and integrate with your existing SDS software to stop out-of-date forms circulating in the field.
Can ADR and TMGD processes integrate with shipping?
Yes. We link UN numbers, hazard classes and packing groups to the product; when a shipment is created, we automatically produce the data needed for the ADR transport document and the TMGD report. Manual matching in Excel and the risk of incorrect or incomplete declarations are reduced.
How long does the project take?
A single figure would be misleading; it depends on scope and module count. That is why we proceed module by module: we usually start with recipes and batch traceability, which deliver the quickest win, you see the first benefit within a short time, and we grow the system in stages. We share a firm timetable after discovery.
Do you also serve chemical producers outside Gaziantep?
Yes. We are based in Gaziantep, and we also serve chemical producers in the surrounding provinces and across Türkiye. In and around Gaziantep, discovery is done on site; elsewhere it starts remotely and a visit is planned if needed.
What drives the cost and timeline?
The variety of recipes and the need for versioning, the scope of laboratory and quality control, whether SDS and ADR processes are included, the link to your existing SDS software, and the route into your ERP. We discuss a budget range in the first call; the exact scope, timeline and price are put in writing after discovery.
What do you need from us?
The people responsible for recipes and the laboratory, your decision on who may access confidential formulas, details of your SDS software and ERP connection, and a sample batch record and certificate of analysis.
How do we measure success?
During discovery we choose the measures that suit you, such as how long a recipe change takes to reach production, how long it takes to find the affected batch in a recall, or unapproved batches being shipped. We first measure where you are today and agree the target from there; results are not guaranteed.
What is KKDİK?
KKDİK is the abbreviation of Türkiye's Regulation on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals, the Turkish counterpart of the EU's REACH regulation. Companies that manufacture or import chemicals manage their substances under registration obligations set by tonnage band. Our compliance module monitors the KKDİK tonnage band and sends reminders, tracks SDS revisions and makes sure the customer receives the current form.
Next step
First we listen, then we see your production together.
During on-site discovery we examine your recipe, batch production, laboratory, SDS/KKDİK and ADR flow, and together determine which module will bring you the fastest benefit. The call carries no obligation. The first 30-minute call is free; the scope of an on-site discovery, and its fee if any, is agreed in writing during that call.
