The problem: BOM layers that don't add up
Formulated products are built in layers, from raw materials to premixes to finished goods. When cost and VOC are calculated in spreadsheets, a change at one level rarely flows through to the rest.
A paint's cost depends on its premixes, which depend on raw material prices. When one price changes, recalculating every level by hand is slow, and VOC totals are rarely updated at the same time.
What this demo shows
- Model a paint from ingredients to premix to finished product.
- Roll up cost and VOC through every layer.
- Carry the formula through QC and stage-gate review.
Why it matters
Formulated products need a PLM built around formulas. Rolling up cost and VOC through every BOM layer keeps both numbers current.
Specs set in PLM carry into QC and stage-gate review, so the product record stays consistent from development to production.

The big legacy PLMs were built around parts lists. Your products are formulas. Uncountable models. Every layer of the BOM from premix to finished product. Cost and VOC content roll up through each layer. Edit it as often as R&D needs. Something legacy PLMs never handled well. Specs you set here become the acceptance criteria for QC.
Projects live next to the data they produce. So you fund real progress and stop weak projects sooner. Every BOM is structured data. So AI can search it and analyze it. Uncountable. The modern PLM for formulated products.
