Industry Experience
Flavors & Fragrances
New flavors and fragrances are a key component to growth of the food, beverage, confectionary and personal care industries. Estimates indicate that the world flavor and fragrance demand will reach $18.6 billion in 2008. To meet this demand, manufacturers are building capacity and improving overall business process efficiencies. Specifically, organizations are looking for ways to automate key operating functions that are critical to commerce, for example, hazard communication.

No other vendor approaches our real-world implementation experience and our ability to offer a flexible authoring solution to companies — regardless of size, geography and/or industry.
Whether it is complying with the strict standards set by the Food and Drug Administration, complying to Premarketing Notifications (PMNs) or considering the impact of "label-friendly" chemicals, we integrate our learning into our software and our support. The results are:
- Quicker implementation time
- Focused and industry-relevant solutions
- Knowledgeable support staff and project management teams
Implementation Experience
It takes more than filling in 16 sections to author a compliant MSDS. It takes a deep understanding of the flavors and fragrance industry. We take into account your product's physical and chemical components, the potential health and environmental hazards associated with the material and how it should be classified according to industry and global hazard classification. This is why major flavors and fragrance companies have come to rely on The WERCS® to automate the hazard communication function for their business.
