We are proud to demonstrate our customer commitments with the release of Brill Formulation Version 2.0. The enhancements delivered in this release are provided to help companies improve the efficiency and responsiveness in their ability to optimize and make on-demand ingredient purchasing decisions.

“This release represents the largest development investment and effort in the history of this product line. Our planning process started over 2 years ago and consisted of reviewing customer suggestions, input from customer advisory meetings and extensive research on optimization technology.” stated Duey Yliniemi, Head of Development for FMS. “Thousands of hours have been put in to ensure the quality of this release. As a result of our beta program and our own regression testing, we are able to ensure the quality of the solution we release to customers.”

This release of Brill Formulation software includes optimization enhancements and other notable features such as:

- Enhanced reporting including a new inquiry tool called SmartList, allowing users to organize, analyze and share data from within Brill Formulation. Using search criteria to limit the results to only records of interest, data can be exported and saved as a favorite so it can easily be rerun. This new tool can be helpful in responding to compliance requests by performing a search of all archived formulas to display all formulas that may contain a specific ingredient.

- The ability to run parametrics on an ingredients nutrient value allows users to quickly see the effect a nutrient value change has on the cost of your formula.

- The ability to temporarily change and save nutrient values on an ingredient in Brill Formulation Multi-Blend. Users can test an opportunity ingredient that might have different nutrient analytical values and can help compare solution results for one ingredient from multiple suppliers where nutrient values are different.

- Increased usability features including a new menu structure, icons and fields to quickly categorize and access information across relevant functions.

“The technology investments feed manufacturers make aid their ability to be profitable and ensure employee and customer satisfaction. FMS is continuing to ensure that this investment is not only innovative through product releases, but also more affordable.” states Rich Reynertson, CEO of FMS. “Due to the substantial benefits users can receive from this release, we have announced special bundles that not only provide the leading solution value, but also at the best price.”
