Formuley is
A cosmetic ERP alternative layer for beauty teams that need chemist-native formulation, launch evidence, packaging, claims, testing, dossiers, batches, and release handoff before ERP.
Formuley vs SAP / Oracle
A cosmetic ERP alternative layer for the work before ERP.
SAP and Oracle run finance, procurement, and manufacturing at global scale. Formuley is the chemist-native formulation and Product Launch OS layer that feeds ERP cleaner product, release, packaging, batch, and regulatory data.

Best for
Enterprise teams that already run or plan to run ERP, but need a cleaner product development and formulation system for R&D, QA, labs, and regulatory evidence.
Compared with SAP / Oracle
SAP and Oracle run finance, procurement, and manufacturing at scale. Formuley prepares the cosmetic product record those systems were not designed to create.

Commercial path
Two honest price paths.
Compare the likely buying motion as well as the headline price.
Start small, scale up
- Typical path
- No self-serve formulation layer
- Formuley
- Maker from $20/month
Enterprise to enterprise
- Typical path
- SAP / Oracle enterprise rollout with implementation partner
- Formuley
- Lab $6,990/year (15 seats) → Enterprise custom annual alongside ERP
Evaluation notes
Why teams switch
Three practical questions to carry into a product review.
Chemists get a tool built for chemists
Formula, ingredient, compliance, and handoff work happens in lab language.
Feed the ERP cleaner data
Approved formulas become approved BOMs, purchasing context, and release packages.
Weeks, not years
Self-serve start, Enterprise rollout when governance requires it.
