Today’s businesses face a challenge in meeting consumer demands for healthier, cleaner, and better-tasting foods while keeping production costs low. They must strike a delicate balancing act between a variety of properties when developing products, including texture, nutritional value, shelf life expectancy, sensory attributes, sustainability, and more —  all in less time and with fewer resources.

However, using separate ELN, LIMS, and PLM software can complicate the development process, creating a disconnect between systems. This disconnect leads to friction, slowing the development process and making it challenging for teams to innovate and accelerate work when data is not easily accessible in a single, unified platform.

To solve these issues, Alchemy built a modern system with combined ELN and LIMS software that allows everyone involved in product development and testing to work together in one place. And it's easy to integrate with other systems like CRM, ERP and PLM solutions. The goal is to help food and beverage technical teams create better products faster with user-friendly software and AI-powered insights.
“We knew Alchemy would help us move faster by giving us all our data in one place.”
- Dr. Mari Granström, Chief Scientist & Co-Founder of Origin by Ocean
