Sample, SDS and spec leave together.
Answer technical customer questions fast, with documentation that's right in every market you sell into.
Today
"Will your ingredient work in my emulsion at pH 5.5?" and the answer is in someone's head and an old lab book.
Application formulations drive the sale, but lab notebooks, tests, raw materials, regulatory checks and inventory rarely have a home, and composition with impurities at ppm is kept accurate by hand.
With Worldover
Worldover connects the applications lab, composition and impurity data, SDS authoring, registrations and the customer request in one record.
The technical answer and the documents behind it come from the same live data.

The problem
Why the work is slow today,and what's actually causing it.
What the working day looks like now
- 01The applications lab runs without a tool, so trials, tests and results are the least well maintained record in the business.
- 02Composition management means ranges against exact percentages, impurities at ppm and INCI naming that differs by market.
- 03Every chemical that changes hands needs an SDS, in a language the end user understands, in every jurisdiction you sell into.
- 04Customer dossiers are assembled on request, duplicated across regulatory, quality and commercial.
- 05Tonnage is tracked per substance per legal entity against band thresholds, usually in a spreadsheet.
Why the current stack creates the problem
- SDS management never stops: keeping them current, recording which version went to which customer, and telling those customers when it changes.
- EU REACH and UK REACH are two regimes with duplicated cost, on top of TSCA, K REACH, KKDIK, China notification and IECSC, each with its own thresholds and format.
- The SVHC candidate list updates roughly twice a year, and each update means working out which materials, mixtures and customers are affected inside a fixed window.
- Legacy systems lock material and customer data in formats that are hard to get out, usually with one person who understands them.
The cost of doing nothing
Sales waits on the lab, documentation packs get rebuilt by three teams, and a missed threshold or a stale SDS becomes a regulatory problem in an export market.
How Worldover changes the workflow
- One lab record covers raw materials, application formulations, trials and tests, with composition ranges and impurities at ppm held once.
- SDSs are authored automatically across languages and jurisdictions, with version control and a record of which version went to which customer.
- Registrations, inventory listings and tonnage bands are tracked per substance and legal entity, so you see the next band before you cross it.
- Customer documentation packs are generated from the live record instead of assembled by hand three times over.
Build your setup
These are the modules we typicallyoffer to chemicals ingredient providers.
Ingredient and chemicals producers lead with SDS authoring and the applications lab, because documentation and technical support are what actually sell the portfolio.
R&D / PLM
The product and formulation foundation. Where most customers start, because everything else reads from it.
SDS AuthoringStart here
Every chemical that changes hands needs an SDS, in the end user's language, across every jurisdiction. Generate and version them automatically.
- SDS generation
- Multi-language support
- Multi-jurisdiction support
R&D Lab SoftwareStart here
The applications lab gets a home: raw materials, compositions with impurities at ppm, trials, tests and INCI mapping across markets.
- Raw materials workflow management
- Composition management
- Table management
QMS
Specifications, supplier approval, deviations, CAPA with effectiveness verification, and training records, which are the two most commonly failed audit items.

SDS Authoring + R&D Lab Software
Add one more workflow to see how these three connect into a working system.
Worldover's most useful combinations need at least three connected modules. Pick another card to reveal the workflow.
Worldover supports application development, formulation, technical service, product data and commercialisation. It doesn't sell fundamental scientific discovery.
Worldover supports connected regulatory workflows, product documentation, approvals and the operational data behind them. It isn't a regulatory consultancy service.
Willow finds answers, prepares work and routes decisions using the live operating record. Material actions remain governed by permissions, approvals and audit history.

What chemicals ingredient provider teamsask us most.
The questions that come up in nearly every conversation, answered plainly.
How many jurisdictions does SDS authoring cover?
Authoring is multi-language and multi-jurisdiction, generated from composition and classification held once, with full version control and distribution history per customer.
Can it handle ranges, exact percentages and impurities?
Yes. Composition management supports ranges, exact percentages and impurities at ppm, and reuses that data across every document generated from it.
What happens when the SVHC candidate list updates?
You can see which materials, mixtures and customers are affected from the substance data you already hold, rather than starting a manual review.
Does the applications lab get its own workspace?
Yes. Mock and application formulations, trials, tests and samples run on the same record the commercial team works from, so technical answers reach the customer faster.
The connected system
When your systems work together,AI can finally be useful.
Worldover is built as one operating system. The best version isn't a collection of modules; it's one record for every substance, product, batch and customer. Willow doesn't replace expert judgment. It removes the searching, re-keying and chasing that slow your teams down.
