Straight answer up front. Selerant Devex is a formulation-led PLM with regulatory modules, built to serve food, cosmetics and chemicals from one product. Worldover is narrower on purpose: substance-based businesses, with regulation and operations on the same record as development.
Last reviewed by the Worldover regulatory team.
Quick answer
Selerant Devex is a formulation-focused PLM used across food, cosmetics and chemicals, with regulatory content modules and specification management. Worldover is an AI operating system for substance-based businesses, where formulation, classification, SDS, quality and batch data share one record and Willow agents draft the documentation. Choose Devex for multi-category formulation PLM in a large group. Choose Worldover for depth in cosmetics and chemicals, plus supplements, and faster time to value.

|---|---|
| A large group formulating across food, cosmetics and chemicals | Selerant Devex |

| A business that needs PLM only, with ERP already settled and integrated | Either, so compare implementation cost carefully |
Simplified positioning. Verify current capabilities directly with Selerant Devex and through your own evaluation. Selerant Devex is a trademark of its respective owner.
Selerant Devex is built for formulation-heavy manufacturers across several regulated categories, with specification management, labelling and regulatory content on top of a PLM core.
Worldover is built for cosmetics and specialty chemicals specifically, and covers the operating loop rather than development alone.
Based on publicly available product information. Verify specifics against the vendor and your own evaluation.
Scope: Devex covers development and specification, with ERP expected alongside. Worldover covers development, regulation, quality and operations.
Regulatory: both offer regulatory content. Worldover treats regulation as live data attached to products, and files from the record.
Implementation: Devex programmes commonly run nine to eighteen months. Worldover Phase 1 is three months, then modules as you need them.
AI: Willow does drafting and monitoring work today. Devex's AI story is, on public information, less developed.
Cost: Devex typically £70k to £250k a year. Worldover £10k to £150k a year.
If you formulate across food and non-food and want one PLM for all of it, a multi-category platform genuinely saves duplication. That's a real advantage we don't have and don't intend to build.
If everything you make is a cosmetic or a chemical, breadth across categories costs you depth. Worldover trades that breadth for a substance model that carries classification, dossiers and batch documentation without configuration.
