ERP that Follows your Business
Not the Other Way Around
Built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, designed for process manufacturers who want more than just automation.
Is this what your day looks like?
-
Recalls, manual errors, and broken processes cost process manufacturers time, money, and trust. Too often, ERP projects only automate what is already broken. Elliott Clark takes a different approach. We focus on aligning ERP with how your business really works, so you gain confidence, compliance, and control from day one.
What changes first with
Business Central + Yaveon
-
Confident release: QC specs, holds, COAs—embedded in the process, not chasing paper.
-
Labels that pass audits: SDS/GHS/INCI data flows from item/lot to the label—no retyping.
-
Zero-guess traceability: Backward/forward trace in clicks, not hours.
-
Real margins by batch: Yields, co/by-products, and costs roll up automatically.
-
Shop-floor flow: Barcode issues/outputs/moves keep production and inventory in sync (optional WMS/labeling add-ons).
Imagine a recall where you already know the answer. That’s the calm we’re after.

Case Study: Scaling a Specialty Chemical Manufacturer with Business Central
The Challenge
A specialty chemical manufacturer in the Southeast was struggling with batch control and regulatory compliance. Their ERP was a patchwork of QuickBooks, Excel, and manual logs. Problems included:
-
Inability to trace raw materials to finished goods in real time.
-
Manual SDS (Safety Data Sheet) management, with high risk of compliance gaps.
-
Frequent production delays caused by inaccurate batch yields.
-
Audit prep that took weeks of staff time.
The CEO described it bluntly: “Every FDA inspection felt like we were starting from scratch.”
The Solution
The company engaged Elliott Clark Consulting to implement Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with YAVEON ProBatch. Key capabilities deployed included:
-
Lot and Expiry Management – full traceability from inbound raw materials to outbound shipments.
-
Automated Labeling – SDS and GHS labeling embedded in the production workflow.
-
Batch Yield Tracking – shop floor data captured in real time via handheld devices.
-
Regulatory Reporting – standardized reporting pack for audits and inspections.
We also ran a Profitability & Process Workshop to uncover margin leaks, aligning costing and shop-floor execution.
The Results
Within the first year of go-live, the manufacturer reported:
-
40% reduction in time spent preparing audits.
-
98% on-time delivery as inventory accuracy improved.
-
20% increase in usable batch yields through better formula management.
-
Seamless scaling to two new production lines without adding admin headcount.
The CFO noted: “For the first time, compliance isn’t a burden. It’s just built into how we work.”
Why It Matters
Process manufacturers often believe ERP is “too big” until compliance pain forces action. This case shows how Business Central + YAVEON ProBatch provides enterprise-grade control for mid-sized process operations — without the cost and complexity of traditional process ERP.
