Solutions
Built for makers of formulated products, and honest about the rest.
Pixxoft Stock started in a cosmetics manufacturer. These are the businesses it suits today, the workflow each would use, and where customisation or a different tool would be needed.

Fit levels reflect what the product does today. They are not a promise that your particular process will need no adjustment.
Cosmetics and skincare manufacturers
Closest fitThe system was built around a cosmetics manufacturer: fill sizes, containers, per-unit packaging, bulk-to-unit filling and expiry-first stock handling.
Typical workflow
- Receive ingredients and packaging against supplier lots with expiry dates
- Keep versioned formulas, check availability and plan batches in finished units
- Record rejected units and leftover bulk, then see the cost per good unit
- Sell finished goods oldest-first, with the batch recorded on every sale
Limitations and customisation
- No quality-control approvals, quarantine, certificates of analysis or batch manufacturing record document
- No one-click recall report
- No tax invoicing. Branding and currency are configured per client
Usual package: Manufacturing Inventory
Soap and personal-care producers
Largely readySoap, candle, aromatherapy and home-fragrance makers follow the same pattern of ingredients, packaging, batches and finished lots.
Typical workflow
- Cost batches from ingredient lots and packaging
- Track shelf life and expiry on ingredients and finished goods
- Use bulk-to-unit filling for liquids, or whole-piece formulas for solid products
Limitations and customisation
- The set of units is fixed (g, kg, mg, ml, l, pcs)
- The same quality-control and compliance limits as cosmetics apply
Usual package: Manufacturing Inventory
Small-batch formulated-product makers
Partial fitMakers of simple formulated goods, such as sauces, spices, juices, herbal or nutraceutical products, can use the stock, recipe and costing parts.
Typical workflow
- Recipes, batches, lots and expiry work the same way
- Batch costing shows cost per good unit
Limitations and customisation
- Not a food-safety or regulatory system: no allergen data, temperature or QC records, or release approvals
- No barcode or GS1 labelling
- These businesses should expect scoping and possibly custom work
Usual package: Manufacturing Inventory or Advanced / Custom
Stock-based resellers and distributors
Starter packageBusinesses that buy, hold and sell stock can use the inventory, purchasing, sales and reporting parts without manufacturing.
Typical workflow
- Receive stock against suppliers, with lots and expiry dates
- Record sales with oldest-first allocation and per-sale margin
- Watch low-stock and expiry alerts and the stock reports
Limitations and customisation
- The sales side is a basic point-of-sale workflow: no price lists, tax invoices, partial returns or purchase orders
- No barcode scanning or POS hardware integration
Usual package: Starter Inventory
Not a good fit today
- Pharmacies and regulated medical goods
- Discrete manufacturing with multi-level assemblies or routings
- Restaurants that need menu, POS or table-order workflows
Pixxoft Stock is not certified for any regulated industry and does not guarantee regulatory compliance. Businesses with compliance obligations should treat it as a stock and costing tool, not a compliance system.
