The Reality in Process Manufacturing

Thin Margins, Hazardous Materials, Hard Rules. Precision Is Everything.

Chemical manufacturing runs on exact formulas, volatile input costs, and strict safety and regulatory demands. These are the gaps that quietly put your margins, your compliance, and your people at risk.

Formulas That Are Hard to Control

Without version control on formulas, an unapproved change or scaling error produces an off-spec batch, and your formulas are valuable intellectual property that must stay secure.

Hazardous Materials to Handle Safely

Hazardous inputs demand safe storage, documented handling, and accurate data sheets, and a gap in any of that is both a safety risk and a compliance failure.

Traceability for Recalls and Audits

You need to trace material from receipt through production to dispatch, and a gap in the record is exactly what an auditor or a recall will expose.

Volatile Raw Material Costs

Commodity prices swing constantly, and without real-time cost visibility a batch you priced last month no longer covers what the inputs cost today.

Variable Yield and Off-Spec Output

Chemical processes do not always yield exactly to plan, and without inspection and regrade control, off-spec product slips through or gets scrapped without a record.

Shelf Life and Expiry

Many inputs and finished chemicals have a limited usable life, and without expiry control you either use material past its date or write it off.

Built on SYSPRO

Every Pressure in the Plant Has a Module Built to Carry It.

SYSPRO is purpose-built for process and chemical manufacturers, not adapted from generic business software. Each capability maps to a requirement that a regulator, an auditor, or a recall will test. Mareba switches on the ones your operation actually needs.

Your SYSPRO Can Also Include

Inventory Management Purchase Order Management Material Requirements Planning Factory Documentation Reporting Services

Formula and Recipe Management

Secures your proprietary formulas, manages version control, and handles complex multi-level recipes, so you protect your intellectual property and analyse cost and material requirements for every batch.

Engineering Change Control

Controls changes to product formulas with electronic signatures and predefined user security, so new and revised products pass through testing and approval before release, meeting compliance requirements.

Hazardous Material Inventory Control

Tracks hazardous materials with shelf-life and expiration management and robust lot control, and lets you attach safety data sheets to products, so handling stays safe and documented.

Lot and Batch Traceability

Records traceability and quality data on materials and products from purchasing through inspection, manufacturing, and sales, so an audit or a recall becomes a fast, complete report.

Quality Management

Lets you define quality plans and automate tests for chemical properties like pH, viscosity, and density with tolerances and pass-fail criteria, so every batch is checked against spec before it ships.

Work in Progress Inspection

Records inspection results and lets you receipt, scrap, or rework quantities, so you handle the variable end-products and regrading that come with unpredictable chemical processes.

The Mareba Difference

A Global ERP, Configured for How You Run and Where You Run It.

SYSPRO gives you the capability. Mareba makes it fit your processes, your statutory rules, and your market, then stays on long after go-live. That is the difference between software you own and software that actually works for you.

Tax and Statutory Compliance, Handled

We configure SYSPRO to meet KRA, VAT, and eTIMS requirements as part of every Kenyan implementation, and the local statutory rules of each market you operate in. Compliance is built into the setup, not bolted on after.

Multi-Currency and Multi-Company, Across Borders

Sourcing raw materials globally and selling across borders? We set up SYSPRO multi-currency and multi-company structures to match how your group actually procures, produces, and bills across the region.

Configured to Your Structure

Certified Consultants Who Know Process Manufacturing

Our SYSPRO trained consultants have run real manufacturing rollouts, so the configuration reflects how a chemical producer actually manages formulas, batches, and compliance, not how a manual says it should.

We have configured SYSPRO for process and chemical manufacturers in markets like yours before. Let us show you what that looks like for your operation.

Questions, Answered

The Questions Chemical Makers Ask Most.

Straight answers on cost, timelines, compliance, and what working with Mareba actually looks like.

It depends on how many sites, users, and processes are involved, but you never figure that out alone. Mareba scopes the project up front, phases the rollout so production keeps running, and draws on more than 20 implementations to keep it on track. Many chemical manufacturers go live within months, not years.

SYSPRO gives you the financial and tax structure. Making it meet KRA, VAT, and eTIMS requirements is part of what Mareba configures during your implementation, along with the statutory rules of any other market you operate in. Compliance is built into the setup, not added as an afterthought.

Yes. SYSPRO's formula and recipe management lets you secure proprietary formulas, manage version control, and handle complex multi-level recipes. Changes run through Engineering Change Control with electronic signatures and user security, so only approved formulas reach production. Mareba sets this up around your own products and approvals.

Yes. SYSPRO includes hazardous material tracking with shelf-life and expiration management and robust lot control, and lets you attach safety data sheets to products, helping you meet standards like GHS. That keeps handling safe and documented. Mareba configures this to the materials and rules you work under.

Yes. SYSPRO lets you define quality plans and automate tests for properties like pH, viscosity, and density, with tolerances and pass-fail criteria for each. Its work-in-progress inspection also lets you receipt, scrap, or rework batches, so you handle the variable output chemical processes produce. Mareba configures the tests to your specifications.

SYSPRO gives you the quality, traceability, and documentation foundation. Mapping that to your local regulatory and registration requirements is part of what Mareba configures during implementation, alongside the international standards. We set the system up to match the rules you actually answer to, not a generic template.

You are not handed a login and left to it. Mareba trains your team, then stays on with support from people in your timezone and on your continent. When a question comes up mid-shift, you reach someone who works the same hours you do.
