Manufacturing · Cleaning Product Manufacturer Management Software

Run formulas, mixing batches, laboratory readings and filling from one batch record.

Manage product formulas, batch cards, surfactant and packing material lots, pH and viscosity readings, filling runs, retained samples and distributor dispatch for cleaning product production. Each tank is recorded with the drum lots that went into it, the adjustments made at the agitator and the readings that released it, and filled cartons carry the batch code. A complaint from a shop leads back to one tank.

  • Formulas, limits and pack sizes recorded as your laboratory writes them
  • Unfilled orders, raw material lots and cap and trigger pack stock brought across
  • Later changes to formulas and batch fields are made by GullySystem staff on request, without a new project.

Cleaning Product Manufacturer Management Software links formulas, batch cards, chemical drum lots, laboratory readings, filling lines and dispatch. Every tank is recorded with the lots used, the thickener or water added after sampling, the filled carton count and the readings that released it. A complaint traces to one batch.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Adjustments at the tank go unwritten

Salt thickener is added or water is topped up by eye after the viscometer reading, and the card is never updated, so the next batch of the same product comes out different. Nobody can say why.

Drum lots are interchanged

Two lots of one detergent surfactant sit side by side at different active strengths, and the batch card names the material but not the lot. Nobody knows which drum was tipped.

Expiry dates on perfumes and preservatives are missed

Drums close to expiry stay on the rack behind newer stock, and the finished liquid shows it first as odour drift or a cloudy, separated pour. Complaints follow.

Filled volume does not tie to the tank

Spillage, line purging and rejected bottles are not subtracted from the 2,000 litres blended, so yield per batch is a guess. The store cannot reconcile the tank against the cartons that left the dock.

A leaking bottle cannot be traced

A shop returns a leaking bottle with a smudged inkjet code, and the plant cannot say which tank it came from or who else received that batch.

Packing materials run short mid-shift

Caps, pumps, trigger sprayers and labels differ by product and size. A filling line stops. The planner finds the gap on the floor, with the distributor’s truck already booked at the gate.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    Formula and plan

    Each product has a formula with limits for pH, viscosity and density, and the plan converts distributor orders into tank batches by size.

  2. 2

    Raw material issue

    Chemicals are issued to the tank by lot and weight. Expiry is checked before a drum leaves the store.

  3. 3

    Blending

    The operator adds ingredients in the order on the card, from caustic soda flakes to perfume last, and notes each adjustment and the mixing time on the agitator.

  4. 4

    Laboratory release

    The laboratory checks readings against limits. A batch outside them is held or corrected, and the decision is recorded with the chemist’s name and the time the sample was drawn from the tank.

  5. 5

    Filling and packing

    Containers are filled, capped, coded and cartoned, and counts, rejects and purge loss are logged against the batch before the tank is closed. Pallets are built after that.

  6. 6

    Dispatch and traceability

    Cartons leave with the batch code on the delivery note, so a complaint or recall lists every customer that holds the batch, the quantities each received and the dispatch dates.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Formula and batch card master

Hold each product’s ingredients, quantity per tank, order of addition, agitator time and laboratory limits as one recipe, so every operator reads the same card for the same product.

Batch planning

Convert distributor and institutional orders into tank batches by product and bottle size, and show the chemical and packing demand before the first drum is opened.

Raw material lots

Receive surfactant, solvent, acid and perfume drums by lot, weight and expiry, and issue them to batches, with a warning as dates approach.

Batch records

Capture actual quantities, adjustments made, mixing time and the operator for every tank. The card fills as the work happens, and the chemist reads a finished record instead of a scribbled one.

Laboratory readings and release

Record pH, viscosity, density and appearance against the limits for the product, then release the tank or hold it until the chemist enters a decision. Filling waits.

Filling line records

Log bottles filled, rejects, purge loss and cartons for each batch, by line and shift. Yield against the tank volume is visible at once.

Packing material stock

Keep bottles, caps, pumps, shrink sleeves, labels and corrugated cartons by size and supplier, issued to filling runs by product and counted back when a run ends.

Retained samples

Record the shelf where retained sample bottles from each batch are kept and the date they can be discarded, so the laboratory is never hunting through a cupboard of unlabelled bottles.

Dispatch and recall lists

Dispatch with batch codes on the delivery note. If a batch must be withdrawn, list every customer who holds it and the cartons each one received, with contact numbers beside them.

Distributor accounts

Hold distributor and institutional orders, invoices and balances by account, with the oldest dues first. Collection calls start from the longest-waiting account.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Bill of Materials

    Each product’s ingredients, quantity per tank and order of addition are held as a recipe that every batch card is built from.

  • Production Planning

    Distributor and institutional orders turn into tank batches by product and bottle size, with chemical and packing needs shown ahead of the run.

  • Batch and Serial Tracking

    Chemicals are received and issued by lot with expiry, so each tank records which surfactant and perfume drum lots went into it.

  • Work Order Management

    Every tank opens as a work order that captures quantities, adjustments, mixing time and the operator, and closes only when the filling count is entered.

  • Quality Control

    pH, viscosity and density are recorded against the product’s limits, and a tank outside them stays held until a decision is entered.

  • Stock Tracking and Alerts

    Bottles, caps, pumps and labels are counted by size, and an alert appears before a filling run is short of any item.

  • Goods Receipt (GRN)

    Drums and bags are booked on arrival with lot, weight and expiry, so only booked material can be issued to a tank.

  • Invoice Management

    Invoices are raised from dispatched cartons with the batch code, and each distributor’s balance is shown with the oldest dues first.

Services

How we would put it in.

Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.

Who uses it

One system, each person sees their part.

For blending operators

See the batch card for the tank, record weights and adjustments, and call the laboratory when mixing ends. The card shows the next ingredient and its drum lot, in the order the formula demands.

For the laboratory

Record pH and viscosity readings against limits, release or hold a tank, and log retained samples with their shelf place. Held tanks stay locked for filling until the decision is entered.

For the chemical store

Receive drums by lot and expiry, issue them to batches, and see which lots are near their dates before they reach the blending hall.

For filling supervisors

Log filled counts, rejects and purge loss, and see the caps, pumps and labels needed for the next run before the line is changed over.

For owners and sales

Read batches released, stock of finished cartons, distributor dues and complaints by batch, so the products that draw the most complaints show first on the owner’s screen.

Reports

The numbers the owner asks for.

  • Batch yield against tank volume
  • Thickener and water additions at the tank, by product
  • Surfactant, perfume and preservative lots by expiry date
  • Viscosity and pH readings outside limits
  • Filling rejects and purge loss by line
  • Customers holding a given batch
  • Retained samples due for disposal
Good fit

Who this is built for.

  • Makers of floor, glass and toilet cleaners
  • Dishwash liquid and gel manufacturers
  • Detergent powder blenders and packers
  • Disinfectant and sanitiser producers
  • Plants that fill institutional cleaning chemicals in drums and jerry cans
Honest answer

When it is not the right choice.

  • A small unit stirring a few litres in a bucket for neighbouring shops can get by with a notebook and pH paper.
  • Makers of cosmetic or personal care products will find Herbal Product Manufacturing Software closer.
Made to fit

Adapted to your business before it goes live.

You are not handed a login and left to it. The product is set up around your records, your people and the tools you already use.

Formulas and limits

Your product formulas, pack sizes and the pH, viscosity and density limits are entered as the laboratory holds them, down to the Brookfield spindle used.

Tank and line list

Mixing tanks, ribbon blenders and filling lines are set up with their capacity, so batches fit the equipment. A 2,000 litre tank will never be given a 3,000 litre batch.

Batch code format

The batch code printed on the carton follows the pattern you use now, with product, date and tank, so cartons already in the market and new ones read the same way.

Stock migrated

Unfilled orders, chemical lots and packing stock are brought in from the lists you hold now, so the first batch starts with true balances.

Safety and handling notes

Handling instructions for acids, alkalis and solvents come from your safety officer and appear on screen when the material is issued, beside the drum lot and the weight.

Hosted by GullySystem

The system is hosted for you, so the store, the laboratory bench and the filling line read one batch record from their own screens. Nothing is copied between them.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

Can operators change a formula at the tank?

They can record an adjustment, but not edit the formula. The change is saved with the person and a reason, and the laboratory sees it before the tank is released to filling.

How are liquid and powder products handled?

Liquids are batched by tank volume and powders by ribbon blender load. Each product sets its own unit, so a dishwash gel and a washing powder both sit in one register without any special handling.

Can we hold a tank until the laboratory approves?

Yes. A batch stays at held status until readings are entered within the limits, and filling cannot draw from a held tank. The operator at the filling line sees the lock.

How do expiry dates work for chemicals?

Each lot carries its expiry. The store sees lots close to the date, and the issue screen warns before an old drum of perfume or preservative is drawn.

Can a recall list be produced?

Yes. One search on the batch code lists the customers, the quantities and the dispatch dates, ready for contact. The list prints from the screen.

How is filling loss reconciled?

Containers filled, rejects and purge loss are compared with the tank volume, and the gap shows as batch yield by line. A leaking valve or a short fill stands out at once on the report.

Are retained samples tracked?

Yes. Each sample is logged with its shelf location and disposal date. The laboratory sees which bottles are due for disposal and clears them in one pass.

Can recipes and stock be moved in?

Yes. We import formulas, chemical lots, packing stock and open orders from your spreadsheets, and the laboratory proves the formulas on a test batch before they are used.

Does it certify our products?

No. Testing and release rules come from your own laboratory and regulatory staff, who review them during implementation. The software records the readings and the decision.

Who supports it after go-live?

GullySystem staff handle changes to formulas, fields and layouts when asked. Larger changes are quoted before the work begins.
