Chemical manufacturing runs on formulas that cannot drift, raw materials whose strength varies from lot to lot, and regulations that follow every drum from receiving to the customer’s gate. When formulas live in spreadsheets, lab results on paper and safety documents in separate folders, a single quality issue can mean days of searching for the batch, the customers and the paperwork.
SL Information Solutions has served Malaysian businesses since 1984, with more than 100 customers and over 30 manufacturing customers across ASEAN. For chemical manufacturers it leads with Infor M3, whose chemical functionality covers formula management, potency tracking, lot traceability and quality management with customer specifications. Around that core sits the rest of its portfolio: a mobility suite for the plant and warehouse, AI-driven document and workflow automation, customer communications, e-invoicing compliance, and the infrastructure and security to run it all safely.
Turning customer demand and contract orders into sales orders that production and the warehouse can act on, with the right grade, specification and packaging.
What we offer
Sourcing raw materials and packaging, including volatile-priced inputs, and managing the supplier documents and payments that follow.
What we offer
Managing formulas and recipes — and the changes they go through — while planning production against demand, capacity and tank availability.
What we offer
Running production in batches, with full genealogy from raw material lot to finished container.
What we offer
Verifying that every batch meets specification, and being able to trace any lot back to its raw materials and forward to the customers it reached.
What we offer
Keeping hazard classification, safety data and dangerous-goods handling accurate and in step with every formula change.
What we offer
Managing inventory where batch status, shelf life and container type determine what can be stored together and what ships first.
What we offer
Getting finished product to customers safely and on time, with proof of what was shipped and delivered.
What we offer
Closing the loop financially — paying suppliers, collecting from customers, and meeting Malaysia’s tax and compliance obligations.
What we offer
The hardware foundation for ERP and automation workloads.
The integration layer connecting M3 with laboratory, compliance and third-party systems.
Protecting formulas, batch records and financial data across the whole chain.
Most chemical manufacturers start with the pain point costing them the most today — often batch records on the plant floor (MakeIT), warehouse accuracy (StockIT) or manual AP/AR — and add other pieces over time. The ERP is the backbone, but the mobility and automation tools can often be layered on incrementally.
Infor M3 includes chemical-specific functionality — formula management, potency tracking, lot traceability and quality management with customer specifications — rather than adapting a generic manufacturing template. [SL Information can advise whether it fits your product range and scale.]
Yes — formulas are versioned with effectivity dates and approvals, and potency tracking adjusts quantities based on the strength of the incoming lot.
Lot traceability runs forward from raw material to the customers it reached and backward from a complaint to the source lots, and recall simulation lets you test the exercise before it is ever needed.
Infor M3 manages GHS hazard classification, SDS data and dangerous-goods codes against items, with SDS revisions when formulas change. Full multi-language SDS authoring and in-depth REACH management typically sit in specialist platforms, which connect to M3 through Infor ION.
Yes — Infor M3 includes quality management and laboratory functions, and where a site already runs a dedicated LIMS, it can be connected through Infor ION.
MakeIT and StockIT are built around barcode/QR scanning on ordinary smart devices, specifically to minimize the learning curve for plant and warehouse teams replacing paper-based processes.
Yes — Mountaintop e-Invoice Middleware connects whatever ERP you run to LHDN’s MyInvois platform for compliant submission, which applies to chemical manufacturers the same as any other business above the compliance threshold.
That’s exactly what SmartLogic (AP), Reclaw (AR) and FinClaw are for — AI-based data extraction and matching that removes manual re-keying from supplier invoices and customer collections.
It depends on scope — number of modules, sites, formulas and integrations involved, such as laboratory systems. In Malaysia, a typica ERP Implementation with chemical module takes at least 5-8 months.
