Flavours and fragrances, with formulas that stay yours.

Hundreds of raw materials, small quantities and formulas that are your know-how. Frontlink guides weighing to the decimal, shows formulas only to those who need them and records every batch.

The weighing room, portion by portion.

Mixing starts with weighing. Frontlink splits the order into portions that fit the mixer, checks every weighing and prepares the charge protocol.

  1. 1 / 7The order

    An order for 480 kg of day cream. The materials and quantities come from your ERP.

  2. 2 / 7Portions for the mixer

    The mixer takes 300 kg. Frontlink splits the order into two portions of 240 kg, in the same proportions.

  3. 3 / 7Scan what gets weighed

    The operator scans each lot. Only what was issued to this order may go on the scale.

  4. 4 / 7Within tolerance

    The emulsifier weighs 19.41 kg, above the limit. The screen stops it. Proceeding is only possible with a supervisor's approval.

  5. 5 / 7Surplus back

    Weighed too much? The surplus is reversed and goes back to stock, with the right lot.

  6. 6 / 7Ready for mixing

    All materials of the portion are weighed and within spec. The portion is ready for the mixer.

  7. 7 / 7The charge protocol

    Tolerance, in-process measurements, visual check and the assessment, signed off by the team lead.

The order. An order for 480 kg of day cream. The materials and quantities come from your ERP.

What is different in this industry.

  1. Many raw materials per formula

    A fragrance can hold fifty ingredients in small amounts. Frontlink guides the operator ingredient by ingredient and checks each weight on a connected scale.

  2. Formulas stay confidential

    Operators see what to weigh, not the full formula. Access per role keeps your know-how with the people who need it.

  3. Declarations per batch

    Customers ask which allergens are in each batch. Frontlink records the lots used, so the declaration follows from what was actually weighed.

What it looks like in practice.

A perfumer changes one ingredient in a fragrance for a customer. Frontlink saves it as a new version, the next batch is weighed against that version and earlier batches stay traceable to the old one.

Frequently asked questions.

Who can see our formulas?

You decide per role. An operator sees the ingredients to weigh for the current order, and the full formula stays with development.

Can we weigh very small amounts?

Yes. Frontlink works with precision scales and checks every weight against the tolerance in the formula.

Do you support samples for customers?

Yes. A sample is a small order with its own batch, so what you sent a customer is always traceable.
