LIMS software for cosmetics, on the same record as everything else.

A standalone LIMS was designed for laboratories that operate independently of the rest of the business. In a cosmetic operation, lab results are not independent, they are what allow the batch to be released, the CoA to be issued, the stability claim to be made and the PIF to be signed off. When the LIMS is a separate system, that flow requires exports, spreadsheets and rekeying.

The cost shows up as delayed batch release, CoAs that lag stability data by weeks, PIFs that quote outdated stability results and customer documentation requests that require the QC manager to log into three systems to answer.

Sample management, test methods, results capture and stability protocols live on the same substance-first record as formulation, regulation and manufacturing. When a batch is manufactured, the QC samples are booked into the lab from the batch record. When results are captured, they are immediately visible on the batch, the CoA and any customer documentation that depends on them.

Stability studies are scheduled automatically from the protocol, with pull points, storage conditions and test panels tracked per timepoint. Willow drafts the protocol, flags out-of-trend results and can generate the stability section of the CPSR from live data.

Worldover integrates with laboratory instruments and existing LIMS deployments where a full replacement is not the goal. Common patterns include running Worldover as the primary LIMS for stability and finished-goods QC while a specialist microbiology or analytical LIMS continues to run for a specific technique, with results flowing back into the substance record via integration.

Lab managers, QC directors and heads of quality at cosmetic manufacturers, brands and contract manufacturers who are tired of the LIMS being an island. If the current setup means the lab team is emailing PDFs to regulatory and CoAs are hand-assembled in Word, this is the version of the problem Worldover was designed to remove.
