Formula Management

Your formulas are the foundation of everything that follows — documented, costed, and audit-ready.

Your formulas are the foundation of everything that follows. Trace Swift provides comprehensive formula management with automatic calculations, cost tracking, and documentation — all designed for regulated manufacturing environments.

Precision Formulation

Build multi-input formulas with exact quantities. See percentage breakdowns update in real-time as you add or adjust inputs. Drag-and-drop ordering, configurable units (kg, g, L, mL), and input-level notes ensure your formulas are documented exactly as needed.

Cost & Pricing Engine

Know your true costs instantly. Live cost per kg and per unit, markup percentage calculations, and gross profit to sales ratio. When input prices change, formulas update automatically across your entire product range with cost cascade.

Yield Management

Account for process losses during cooking, drying, or evaporation. Weight loss percentage tracking ensures final weights reflect real-world production outcomes. Configure unit weights for accurate per-unit costing.

Batch Scaling

Scale any formula to your target batch weight with automatic quantity calculations. The scale factor adjusts all inputs proportionally, making it easy to produce batches of any size while maintaining formula integrity.

Documentation

Keep everything together. Rich-text production methods, version-controlled notes, and file attachments (PDF, images, Word, Excel) live with each formula for easy access during production and audits.

Formula Duplication

Create variations quickly. One-click duplication copies all inputs, methods, and settings. Perfect for seasonal variants, customer-specific versions, or formula development iterations.

Cost Cascade: When you update an input price, Trace Swift automatically recalculates costs across all formulas using that input. You'll see exactly how many formulas are affected and can review the impact immediately.

What happens when input prices change?

Update the price on any input and Trace Swift automatically recalculates costs across all formulas using that input. You'll see exactly how many formulas are affected, making it easy to review pricing impact and adjust accordingly.
