Merit ERP: Enhancing Beauty Production Management

Nuco is a contract manufacturer of color cosmetics for global beauty brands. The company oversees the entire proces - from concept to final, shelf-ready product. In 2021, Nuco implemented the Merit ERP system for managing production, strategic and operational planning, logistics, warehousing, sales, finance, and human resources.

Handling customer orders is a complex process carried out by different departments. It involves registration, verification, approval, planning, preparation – up to production, packaging, and shipment. The process-oriented Merit system allows Nuco to manage dozens to hundreds of production orders daily, 24 hours a day, in three shifts.

Merit ERP also supports planning and managing production. It automatically updates the strategic and operational plan, considering days, resources, and machines. Nuco analyzes plan execution according to defined criteria in Qlik Sense.

Using kiosks on the production floor, Nuco registers everything that happens in production: weighing and using raw materials, quality control, issuing labels, dosing and pressing, packaging, and many other operations in the Merit system.

In the warehouse, Merit ERP organizes the processes of receiving raw materials, issuing them to production, and finally, receiving finished products, labeling, and preparing them for shipment. Importantly, Merit enables Nuco to meet quality standards through traceability, i.e., tracking batches of raw materials, materials, and products.

With the Merit ERP system, Nuco has complete control over production. It plans, calculates costs, monitors production, traces batches while maintaining quality requirements, and analyzes efficiency... Production with Merit simply goes beautifully!
