Cosmetic Industry Software for R&D and Lab Operations
Lab Operations in the Cosmetics Industry: Fast, Fragmented, and Under Pressure
Formulation teams, quality control units, and research labs in the cosmetics industry are expected to move fast, testing ingredients, validating claims, and launching new products under constant pressure. But most labs still juggle spreadsheets, emails, and isolated systems that lead to inefficiencies and delays.
newLab® delivers purpose-built cosmetic industry software that unifies lab operations in one system, from equipment availability to internal service requests, so teams can stay agile and scale product development with less friction.
Use Cases for Cosmetics R&D and Manufacturing Labs
From formulation and packaging to microbiology and stability testing, cosmetic labs rely on structured workflows and accessible equipment. Here’s how newLab® supports everyday operations across global cosmetics companies:
Reducing Equipment Downtime Across Global Lab Sites
In multi-site pharma environments, equipment servicing schedules are often tracked manually or in disconnected spreadsheets—leading to missed calibrations, unplanned downtime, and costly delays.
How newLab® helps:
Automated maintenance and calibration workflows ensure every asset stays operational. Notifications, service logs, and availability updates are all centralized in one platform, so lab managers never miss a critical service window again.
Avoiding Redundant Purchases and Overspending on Capital Equipment
Procurement teams in biotech often lack accurate utilization data across departments or regions—resulting in unnecessary equipment purchases, overlapping functionality, or idle assets.
How newLab® helps:
With unified asset tracking and real-time usage analytics, newLab® helps organizations identify underutilized instruments, rebalance across sites, and prevent duplicate investments—supporting better budgeting and procurement alignment.
Eliminating Data Silos Between LIMS, ERP, and ServiceNow
IT teams often struggle with fragmented platforms that don’t “talk” to one another. This leads to duplicate data entry, inconsistent reporting, and slow access to key operational metrics.
How newLab® helps:
newLab® acts as a central orchestration layer—integrating natively with ServiceNow and via APIs with LIMS, ELN, and ERP systems. The result is a single, accurate source of truth for equipment status, usage, service history, and financial data.
Improving Lab Resource Access for Scientists Working on Critical Projects
Scientists lose valuable time due to unavailable or double-booked instruments, lack of visibility into equipment readiness, or delays in internal service fulfillment (like imaging or analysis).
How newLab® helps:
A self-service portal gives scientists the ability to view real-time equipment availability, make bookings, and track service requests. This accelerates experiment cycles and removes unnecessary administrative back-and-forth.
Scaling Lab Infrastructure During Rapid Growth or M&A
Fast-growing biotech firms or newly merged pharma divisions often inherit multiple lab systems and inconsistent operational processes, making it hard to scale efficiently.
How newLab® helps:
With configurable workflows and enterprise-grade scalability, newLab® brings standardization across global R&D operations—while still allowing teams to maintain autonomy at the site level. Labs get the structure they need without losing flexibility.
Streamlining Formulation Lab Management
Formulators often work across multiple R&D projects, each with different lab resource needs. Tracking availability and coordinating usage manually slows down development.
How newLab® helps
The platform gives real-time visibility into equipment availability, supports centralized booking, and automates service scheduling, simplifying formulation management software workflows.
Reducing Instrument Downtime in QA and Testing Labs
Delays in instrument servicing or calibration can stall product testing and validation, impacting launch timelines.
How newLab® helps
Maintenance reminders, service logs, and equipment status are all handled in one system, reducing unplanned downtime and helping labs maintain a state of readiness.
Connecting R&D, QA, and Operations Teams
Fragmented lab systems create bottlenecks in decision-making and lead to poor visibility across functions.
How newLab® helps
From request tracking to usage logs and resource planning, newLab® connects cosmetic R&D software workflows across teams, supporting better alignment from early-stage R&D to batch release.
Avoiding Redundant Equipment Purchases
Labs often overspend on duplicate instruments due to limited visibility into usage across brands or locations.
How newLab® helps
The platform aggregates lab inventory and usage across departments, making it easier to share resources and make informed procurement decisions with built-in cosmetic inventory software functionality.
Scaling Lab Infrastructure Across Global Brands
Whether launching new brands or expanding into new regions, cosmetics companies must align lab practices without slowing innovation.
How newLab® helps
newLab® enables operational consistency across labs, with localized flexibility where needed. The result is faster onboarding, better data access, and lab systems that grow with the business.
