Creativity Software
Creativity Software is a windows based software solution the primary function of which is to assist individuals or teams in the in the development of new Cosmetic products. It adds value by improving efficiency, accuracy, traceability, and control.
To speed up material selection the system is pre-loaded with 84,000 materials, and their INCI breakdowns where known. Plus any regulations relating to them including EU, US, Japanese, and Australian. It is also possible to store additional information via user defined fields or storing documents in the central document server.
The software allows the user to define a product in terms of a formulation, a set of components, and the production processes used to make it. Using this information the software performs quick and accurate cost and P&L reporting.
The software also supports batch creation, tracking and testing. It supports batch creation via a series of reports detailing what is needed to create the batch and how it should be made. It supports tracking by storing information such as what version of which formulation was used to create them. To facilitate testing it is possible to define completely configurable testing templates which can be used to generate a testing schedule and inform users what needs testing and when, plus store the test results.
Creativity has the functionality and a pricing structure making it equally applicable to large corporations and small companies alike.
