Case Study: SDB Products doubles production and improves traceability with Mar-Kov Computer Systems

SDB Products - Customer Case Study

SDB Products is a contract manufacturer producing more than 600 mass-market hair shampoos, conditioners, and body lotions for 25+ customers across four production lines. When pandemic-driven demand surged, the company needed a scalable way to manage rapid growth, material planning, inventory, and detailed traceability without slowing operations. Mar-Kov Computer Systems provided the batch control and LIMs software used to support those needs.

With Mar-Kov Computer Systems, SDB Products doubled production and inventory while maintaining accurate, real-time material resource planning and tracking 800+ ingredients. The system also improved transparency with traceable formulas, packaging, and micro-test results, and enabled a mock recall in less than an hour. Mar-Kov Computer Systems helped SDB locate ingredients across 82,000 sq. ft. of space, control revisions, and adapt quickly as business stayed busy for 12 consecutive months.
