BioZone Laboratories and BatchMaster ERP, Then and Now

BioZone Laboratories, a global developer and private-label manufacturer of cosmetics, topical pharmaceuticals, and dietary supplements, was in need of a solution to better manage its common base material and specialty ingredient inventories to avoid inventory overages and shortages. The company needed to manage products by average cost method, by capturing true costs at order, receipt, manufacturing, packaging and delivery. As a make to order business, BioZone also needed a solution that could forecast profitability allowing the company to maximize its investment of capital and resources. Over the last ten years, the cosmetics market has given way to specialty advisors and the boutiquing of the industry, which has been challenging for BioZone as many of their products are oil-based and they have been faced with significant raw material and transportation cost fluctuations.

BioZone Laboratories, located in Pittsburg, CA, is a global developer and private-label manufacturer of cosmetics, topical pharmaceuticals, and dietary supplements. Manufactured products include skin care, such as facial scrubs, eye creams and body lotions, oral, topical and nasal OTC drugs, such as acne products and nasal spray and gels and liquid supplements. The company was formed in 1987 by Dr. Brian Keller with their initial focus on intellectual properties for drug delivery systems and continues to thrive in the present day. As a long-time BatchMaster ERP customer, BioZone has relied on BatchMaster since 2005 to manage its formulations, inventory, and manufacturing requirements. As the company continues to grow annually, BatchMaster remains a critical component in BioZone’s day-to-day operations, supporting that growth and allowing the company to focus on its best assets, superior laboratory formulation and the manufacturing of true, quality products.
