Formulation Workbench

digital formulation workbench

Digital Formulation Workbench is a cloud- based product development and simulation environment designed specifically for formulated product developers.

Verdant Digital Formulation Workbench features a purpose-built interface, real-time simulation engine, and innovative smart features such as AI-driven insights, augmented decision making and visual alerts to ensure design, cost and regulatory targets are being met in real-time.

EXPLORE

BACKGROUND

For over 10 years, Verdant has partnered with many of the world’s leading brands in CPG, F&B, and specialty chemical supporting their digital transformations with a focus on improving innovation and compliance through more advanced use of technology and data.

Typical recipe management tools and Excel-based solutions lack the connectivity, depth or advanced capabilities to meet the demands of digital innovation. Most of these traditional tools are either too rigid or simplistic, don’t allow Product Developers to leverage historical or organization insights, and lack the integrated intelligence that can dramatically improve speed and outcomes.


Digital Formulation Workbench is a modern, cloud-based platform that supports the complex and specific needs of formulated product development while providing next generation “smart” capabilities that create an innovation advantage.


A MODERN BENCHTOP EXPERIENCE

With our drag-and-drop interface you can easily move materials to a different formula or change subformula hierarchy. Edit quantity, percent batch, and many other values and you’ll instantly see simulation outcomes update to reflect the impact of your change.

workbench - instant updates

See how material changes affect your simulated outcomes – instantly.

hierarchies

Built for Purpose

Built for and with Product Developers and executive leaders from some of the world’s leading brands. Our focus is on unlocking organizational insights and enabling Developers by providing them advanced tools they want to use.

modern interface

Built for Speed

Developers require a solution that can move as fast as they work. Workbench is a fast, feature-rich platform that is intuitive and easy to use.

CONFIGURABLE TEMPLATES

Choose which columns to show and drag-and-drop them to the order you prefer for your current objective. Drag all the way to the left to freeze the column, making it easy to compare with other values.

workbench - tailored to you

Customize your formula view as a template for continued use.

templates

Template-based

Configurable templates meet specific category or regional needs. Even diverse product portfolios can be handled in a single application!

personalization

Personalization

Every user works differently and needs obviously vary based on product or objective. Users can easily personalize their experience and create a workspace that works best for them.

TRACK CHANGES & SIMULATE OUTCOMES

Create multiple versions of your formula and compare them side-by-side on the same screen. Workbench calculated variance from the original, and visually highlights simulated outcomes that do not meet your specified design targets.

workbench - compare versions

Inputs and simulated outcomes across ,multiple versions, measured against design constraints

managing change

Managing Change

Workbench includes a powerful comparison engine allowing you to review and track changes across multiple formulas. Compare inputs and simulated outcomes across versions using visual indicators that provide feedback against design constraints.

powerful simulation capability

Powerful Simulation Capability

The real-time simulation and analysis engine provides immediate feedback to Developers as changes are made, allowing them to optimize and evaluate outcomes.

ADVANCED SMART FEATURES

Set design targets for desired values or ranges for different simulation outcomes. Workbench provides instant visual indicator in the Simulation panel to show when targets are not met.

workbench - set design targets

Visual indicators instantly compare your simulated formula against your design targets as you edit.

augmented design

Augmented Design

Formula conditions are continuously monitored to ensure they meet specified design targets. Monitor for adherence to claims or standard of identity constraints, safety or regulatory limits, and cost or performance targets.

embedded intelligence

Embedded Intelligence

Cross-functional advice and expertise can be captured and delivered in context to inform decisions, enforce standards, and shape behavior. It’s like having a team of subject experts looking over your shoulder!

AI-ASSISTED DEIGN & DECISION MAKING

The Insights section automatically tracks errors, updates and potential issues. You’ll see a notification when a material has been updated, or when your formula doesn’t meet a requirement.

workbench - ai-assisted design

Detect errors, regulatory issues, or opportunities in real time

ai-assisted development icon

AI-Assisted Development

The Integrated Insights framework presents advice and alerts to shape decisions, taking full advantage of your company’s valuable organizational knowledge. Steer towards lower cost/risk ingredients and avoid performance or regulatory issues early in the cycle.

automated reviews

Automated Reviews

Workbench can automatically monitor and enforce R&D or operational checklists and screens to help avoid costly re-work and delayed design cycles.
