R&D for food and supplement ingredient providers
Today
Your lab has already solved this customer's compression problem, for a different customer, two years ago, and nobody can find the work.
Electronic notebooks record experiments. They don't connect a dose-form trial to the grade it used, the customer who asked for it or the claim it ended up supporting, so application knowledge never becomes a commercial asset.
With Worldover
Worldover R&D connects application trials, dose-form work, stability and analytical results to the grade, the enquiry and the customer they belong to.
Application knowledge is found rather than recreated, and technical answers reuse work you've already paid for.

The problem
Why generic R&D failssupplements ingredient provider teams.
Trials are filed by project, not by substance
The useful unit is the grade and the dose form. Filing by project buries both.
Results never reach sales
Solubility, flowability, compression and stability findings stay in the lab, so commercial teams answer from memory.
Stability data ages out of sight
Shelf life claims rest on studies nobody links back to the grade or the customer format they were run in.
A working day
A new dose-form request
A customer wants your active in a chewable, not a capsule.
Today: the lab starts from scratch because prior chewable work isn't findable.
In Worldover: prior trials on that grade and format surface with their results.
New work is logged against the grade and the customer enquiry that prompted it.
The findings feed the next technical response automatically.
How it runs
How R&D worksinside Worldover.
01
Trials attach to the grade
Every application trial references the exact grade, lot and specification used.
02
Dose forms are first class
Tablet, capsule, powder, gummy and beverage work is tagged so it can be found by format.
03
Stability is connected
Studies link to the grade, the format and the shelf-life position they support.
04
Results become answers
Findings are visible to sales and service on the same ingredient record.
What's in it
The detail behindR&D.
R&D Lab Software
Digital lab covering raw materials, formulations and regulatory screening.
Raw materials workflow management
Build a raw material library with custom workflows across multiple material types, document types and field types, all defined by you during onboarding.
Composition management
Add ingredients to raw materials as ranges or exact percentages, with full impurities management at ppm.
Table management
Customisable views by coding system, part number, type or cost.
Complex cost management
Manage raw material costs with customisable costing modules, currency settings and automatic currency conversion.
Gap analysis
Reports showing which documents are present against which are missing.
Raw material administration
Codes and sub-codes to organise the library the way your team already thinks.
The difference
Why the substance recordmakes the difference.
Application work only compounds if it's attached to the substance. On one record, every trial makes the next technical answer faster.
Better together
What changes when R&Dshares a record with the rest of your setup.
Willow
What teams actually askonce the record is in one place.
- What prior work do we have on this active in a chewable format?
- Which trials support the shelf life we quote for this grade?
- Summarise the compression findings for this grade across customers.
Willow doesn't replace expert judgment. It removes the searching, re-keying and chasing between the systems that hold your answers.

We'll walk through your current workflow, then show the same workflow running on one record.
