Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1

Can Mar-Kov help me monitor profit margins across my chemical product lines?

Yes, Mar-Kov’s margin tracking tools let you analyze profitability by product, SKU, customer, or batch. You can view contribution margins in real time and drill into cost components like raw materials, labor, and waste. With built-in reporting, you can easily identify underperforming products and take corrective action—whether that means price adjustments, sourcing changes, or process improvements.
2

Can Chemical Manufacturers use QuickBooks with Mar-Kov?

Yes, Mar-Kov integrates seamlessly with both QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop. Our integration enables automatic syncing of financial data such as purchase orders, vendor invoices, inventory adjustments, and batch costing. This ensures that your production and accounting systems stay in sync—reducing double data entry, minimizing errors, and saving valuable time for your finance team.

Can Mar-Kov’s Chemical ERP system track quality data?

Yes—Mar-Kov includes a fully integrated quality management system (QMS) designed specifically for dietary supplement manufacturing. Our platform tracks and enforces required testing and sampling at every stage: raw materials, in-process production, and finished goods. You can configure electronic quality holds and quarantines to automatically prevent non-compliant materials or batches from progressing through the workflow. All test results, deviations, and Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are logged within the system, ensuring complete traceability and regulatory compliance—without needing third-party QA software.
4

How can I scale a chemical formula from lab to production?

Scaling up from the lab is simple with Mar-Kov. Our platform supports automated batch scaling based on target volume or packaging units, adjusting each ingredient according to defined tolerances. The system also factors in equipment capacity, process times, and QA checkpoints—ensuring your production batches maintain the same integrity as your lab samples.
5

How does Mar-Kov support GMP compliance in chemical?

Mar-Kov is designed to align with ISO and GMP standards by enforcing documented procedures, audit trails, and material traceability throughout your operations. The system ensures that all actions—from raw material receipt to finished product release—are recorded and verifiable. Electronic signatures, access controls, and automated workflows help you maintain a state of continuous compliance and prepare for inspections with confidence.
6

How can I track the cost of goods sold (COGS) in chemical manufacturing?

Mar-Kov automatically calculates COGS for every batch using actual material costs, labor time, and landed costs, Our system records real-time consumption and yields, providing an accurate cost profile for every product. You can compare planned vs. actual costs and quickly identify variance drivers—empowering better pricing and profitability analysis.
7

How does Mar-Kov support cost optimization in chemical manufacturing?

Mar-Kov helps you reduce costs through:
