Case Study: U.S. Paint achieves a future-proof ERP and streamlined paint manufacturing with BatchMaster Software

U.S. Paint ‘Future Proofs’ Their New Software Investment With Batchmaster ERP

U.S. Paint, a St. Louis–based maker of high‑performance paints, primers and clearcoats, faced a pressing technology challenge: their 20+ year IBM AS/400/Infinium system relied on extensive custom routines and looming IT retirements threatened continuity. After evaluating options, they selected BatchMaster Software’s BatchMaster ERP for Chemicals (on the SAP Business One platform) to replace the legacy system because it is formula‑centric, supports chemical manufacturing workflows, and integrates SDS authoring.

BatchMaster Software implemented BatchMaster ERP for Chemicals with its formulation module, dynamic formula balancing, flexible production costing, document generation/alerting, and a proven integration to Lisam for automated SDS creation. The result is a turnkey, future‑proof ERP that eliminated many custom workarounds, streamlined SDS and document processes, improved costing and quotation accuracy, and positioned U.S. Paint for continued growth.
