5 Reviews 4/5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★An end-to-end process and formula-based manufacturing ERP software.
Product Overview
BatchMaster ERP is a process manufacturing ERP designed for formula-based industries such as food and beverage, chemical, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Instead of forcing manufacturers to adapt to a generic manufacturing system, BatchMaster is built around the complexities of batch production.
It supports product R&D, recipe and formula tracking, packaging, BOM management, job costing, production planning, scheduling, traceability, and inventory control. The system includes SDS/FDA compliance, BRC/SQF lot traceability, quality management, and warehouse management capabilities. An optional mobile app supports production and warehouse workflows using a smart device.
Businesses can run BatchMaster alongside accounting systems like QuickBooks, Sage Products, Microsoft 365, and SAP Business One. Or users can upgrade to the complete ERP that supports process manufacturing, financials, supply chain management, and CRM all in one, with options for on-premise and cloud demployment.

BatchMaster ERP Review
Absolutely terrible. Run from this system at all costs. The company puts all its money into writing contracts and no money into coding a usable software.
Pros
In 2005, it was groundbreaking for process manufacturing. Unfortunately, in 2025, it isn't.
Cons
Poorly functioning, terrible support/implementation staff. Ineffective code. Difficult user interface.

Hair Product Manufacturing Program
I was looking for a manufacturing software for one of my hair product clients. We ended up going with the BatchMaster ERP system as it was made for and fit our industry really well.
We looked at a few other systems but BatchMaster and their robust compliance management, batch tracking, and quality control features stood out to us.
BatchMaster was the clearly best fit especially with all the compliance regulations being imposed recently.

Ability to support our extensive MRP needs
One of the critical pieces of BatchMaster ERP with SAP Business One was its ability to support our extensive MRP needs. If we don’t have excellent control on nutraceutical production and order demand, we could have back-orders that aren’t meeting our customer ship dates and this is unacceptable.

The most comprehensive food manufacturing solution
We reviewed nearly 10 ERP solutions and found BatchMaster ERP with SAP Business One to be the most comprehensive food manufacturing solution that would also be easy to learn and use for our staff and that could address the added complexities and regulations in food manufacturing.

Exciting to find a solution built upon the SAP Business One platform
After stacking up process-manufacturing ERP solutions side-by-side after soliciting responses from nearly 30 ERP vendors, it was very exciting to find a solution built upon the SAP Business One platform that was designed for the chemical industry, meeting most of our requirements right out of the box.
