The ERP for chemical industry experts
Varnishes, sealants, solvents, detergents or cleaning products, whether your products are intended for the food industry, the construction industry, biotechnology or fermentation industries: whatever your trade, Synoptic ERP adapts entirely to the way you work.
Unlike generic ERPs, Synoptic ERP stands out for its flexibility and modularity.
The chemical industry is now globalized, which requires chemicals and paint professionals to have solutions that keep them as competitive as possible. Products must evolve continuously to meet the ever more complex and varied demands of customers and regulatory authorities.
Formulations are increasingly innovative and demanding, components are changing and multiplying, prices fluctuate and regulations evolve: all factors that require chemical industry professionals to have an ERP offering both a detailed and an overall view of all the elements and players that contribute to the development and long-term success of their business.
