With over 25 years of industry experience in formula manufacturing, Vicinity understands the distinct needs of formula manufacturers. As with previous editions of Vicinity, version 2.6 addresses all fundamental business operations inherent to batch manufacturing - formula management, lot tracking, batch ticket processing, tracking QC test results, formula scheduling, compliance documentation, COA/MSDS/Hazardous Bills of Lading, and country of origin.

While the formula manufacturing industry continues to evolve - so does Vicinity! The latest version - Vicinity 2.6 - empowers batch manufacturers to be more effective. It also increases efficiency by providing the tools formula manufactures require to analyze and process production data. Enhancements to Vicinity 2.6 include extended batch end-item quality control (QC) tracking, remote access capability of formula maintenance, MRP and planning workbench enhancements and support for the latest version of Microsoft Dynamics SL version 7.0.
Additionally, Vicinity Manufacturing is pleased to announce integration of bar code data collection in version 2.6. Teaming with Maximum Data (an Accellos company) Vicinity provides real-time finished goods data collection directly from the production floor into Vicinity and Microsoft Dynamics. "The ability to record finished goods production directly from the packaging area is a feature that a number of clients have been asking for." says Randy Smith, CEO of Vicinity Manufacturing. "We took our time and built a method of supporting bar code data collection systems to be simple to implement and easy to support. Maximum Data was the obvious choice to begin with but others will soon follow."
