Raw Material Specifications
The foundation of product quality begins at the ingredient level.
Frame & Flight’s PLM requirements define how raw material data must be captured, validated, and governed including supplier attributes, COAs, allergen status, claims eligibility, and regulatory documentation.
The result is a single source of truth that eliminates duplication, improves traceability, and accelerates supplier onboarding.
Formulation & Formula Management
Formulation is where innovation, regulatory, and cost intersect.
Our requirements define how formulas must be structured, versioned, compared, transformed, and validated from substitutions and concentration factors to multi-level BOMs and scenario planning.
This ensures that development teams can innovate faster while maintaining full traceability and compliance.
Packaging Assembly
Packaging is not just artwork; it is a data structure.
Our PLM framework aligns packaging hierarchies from primary to pallet, material workflows, dielines, and supplier collaboration to a controlled lifecycle.
This enables frictionless cross-functional alignment and reduces costly rework during commercialization.
Trade Specification Management
Trade specifications connect product design to market execution.
Our requirements define how finished goods must link to formulas, packaging, labeling, regulatory claims, certifications, and ERP-ready attributes.
Consistent, structured trade specs reduce launch cycle times and prevent misalignment between R&D, supply chain, and commercial.
Certifications & Claims
Certifications are increasingly critical to consumer trust and retailer compliance.
We define how PLM must manage claim eligibility, certification lifecycle, document validation, renewable status tracking, and supplier traceability.
This ensures every claim is backed by auditable data, not tribal knowledge.
Nutrition
Nutrition calculations drive regulatory packaging, global compliance, and consumer transparency.
Our database includes requirements for dynamic nutrient roll-ups, region-specific label rules, percent daily value logic, and scenario-based reformulation.
With automated validation and rules-based governance, nutrition becomes data-driven, not spreadsheet-driven.
System Configuration
Transformation fails when PLM becomes over customized.
Our configuration requirements define how to design a future proof system using templates, controlled vocabularies, modular governance, and automation triggers.
This ensures rapid implementation, low technical debt, and the ability to evolve without replatforming.
Reporting & Insights
Data is only valuable when it drives decisions.
Our reporting requirements define how PLM must expose structured data for portfolio views, project health, risk, regulatory coverage, supplier readiness, and launch readiness.
This turns PLM from a document repository into a decision engine.
AI & Intelligent Automation
The future of PLM is not workflows. It is reasoning.
Our AI requirements define how the system should automate decisions using rules based logic, probabilistic reasoning, and historical data patterns.
This enables capabilities like intelligent formulation suggestions, auto generated specs, supplier risk detection, and CAPA reasoning.
