Extracts and premixes held until they pass, batches released against the label claim, capsule fillers and tablet presses on a schedule, and every lot traceable to the customer. Tathven Agentic ERP runs a supplement maker from the dispensing booth to the dispatched carton.
Making supplements for other brands, batch by batch.

Herbal-extract and premix makers
Supplying extracts and vitamin premixes to the trade.
The pain points
And how Tathven answers each one
Materials and quality
1
An extract used before anyone checked it
The pain
A herbal extract arrives with the supplier’s certificate. It goes into a batch before the lab has tested it, and the problem shows up in the finished product.
How Tathven solves it
Quality-controlled items arrive on hold until a person with the clearance right releases them, with a reason. Ready-made test sheets come with the catalogue: herbal-extract receipt (identity, marker assay, loss on drying, heavy metals, description and plate count) and capsule-shell receipt (size and colour, shell weight, disintegration and the supplier’s certificate). Results that fall outside the limits open an out-of-specification investigation.
2
Releasing a batch on a signature and a hope
The pain
A batch is packed and waiting. Whether it met its label claim is in a lab notebook, and the certificate is typed by hand for each customer.
How Tathven solves it
The supplement batch-release sheet tests label-claim assay, fill weight, microbial limits, labelling and appearance against your limits. A certificate of analysis is issued for the lot from the recorded results and filed in Tathven AI Workspaces.
3
“Which customers got that batch?”
The pain
A raw-material lot is suspect. Finding every batch that used it, and every customer that received them, takes days.
How Tathven solves it
Each finished lot is linked to the input lots it used. The recall view traces a lot, or the supplier’s batch code, to every customer and parcel it reached. Customer returns go back against the lots they were dispatched from.
4
Short-dated stock and the wrong lot picked
The pain
Supplements carry a best-before date. Older lots are left behind and found when they are already out of date.
How Tathven solves it
Items can be batch-tracked with a shelf life and a minimum shelf life on receipt. Goods issue picks first-expiry-first, and a weekly mail lists the lots close to expiry.
✨ How the agentic ERP helps
Ask “which lots expire in the next 60 days, and where are they?”
5
The same defect, batch after batch
The pain
Broken capsules, fill-weight swings and label errors are fixed on the line and forgotten.
How Tathven solves it
Defect reports come ready with nutraceutical types: assay out of specification, fill-weight variation, broken or dented capsule, microbial limit exceeded and label claim error. Each carries the root cause and the corrective and preventive actions, and a Pareto view shows which defects keep coming back.
Production and costing
6
Formulas and steps in a spreadsheet
The pain
The formula lives in a spreadsheet, and each batch is charged from memory.
How Tathven solves it
Each product has a bill of materials per operation, with the wastage you expect at each step. The catalogue brings the operations a supplement plant runs: dispensing, sifting, blending, granulation, fluid-bed drying, compression, coating, capsule filling, blister packing, bottle filling and capping, and QC release. A formula used by a live production order is locked.
7
Capsule fillers and tablet presses on a whiteboard
The pain
Machines are booked on a whiteboard, and a stoppage for cleaning or a late blend is never written down.
How Tathven solves it
Blenders, granulators, tablet presses, capsule fillers and coating pans are work centres with their calendars, and production orders are scheduled on a board. The shop floor screen records runs, good and rejected quantities, and the reason for every stop, with downtime reasons ready for the trade: capsule filler fault, tablet press breakdown, changeover cleaning, blend awaited and assay result awaited. Utilisation and OEE show how much of each machine’s time made good product.
✨ How the agentic ERP helps
Ask “which production orders are running late, and why?” The assistant prepares a reschedule or overtime for you to confirm.
8
What a bottle really costs
The pain
Extract and premix prices move, and the product cost on file is months old.
How Tathven solves it
Costing orders work out the cost of a batch from the formula, machine hours, wastage and overhead, and suggest a sale price. The cost-drift view shows which products have moved away from their standard cost.
9
A shell or an extract runs out mid-campaign
The pain
Capsule shells or one extract run out and the line stops.
How Tathven solves it
Material planning works out what open orders need against stock and open purchases, and proposes purchase and production orders for you to confirm. Reorder points are checked every night.
✨ How the agentic ERP helps
Ask “what should I reorder this week?” and the assistant prepares the purchase order for you to confirm.
Sales and GST
10
Distributors, chemists and online sellers
The pain
Distributors buy on credit, and cartons leave before anyone checks the money.
How Tathven solves it
Every buyer has its own credit days and limit, and an order is cleared for dispatch only when it is paid or within credit terms. Discount schemes are set once and attached to the buyer. GST returns are built from the tax ledger, and purchases are reconciled against GSTR-2B.
