Contract Manufacturing & Tolling Visibility

Bring clarity and control to outsourced manufacturing

Managing contract manufacturing and tolling partners is complex. Between fragmented communication, manual processes, and lack of real-time data, manufacturers often struggle to maintain efficiency and compliance. Our Contract Manufacturing & Tolling Visibility Platform connects manufacturers, tollers, and suppliers on one shared digital workspace — with automated workflows, end-to-end visibility, and compliance built in.

Why Contract Manufacturing & Tolling Need a Rethink

Contract manufacturing and tolling arrangements are critical for scaling production and meeting market demand. But most companies still rely on outdated systems and manual coordination, which creates bottlenecks and risk.

Typical challenges include:

Limited visibility – No unified view of material flows, production status, and packing material usage.

Manual, error-prone processes – Reliance on spreadsheets, emails, and calls slows down procurement and reconciliation.

Poor collaboration – Disconnected communication between manufacturers and tollers leads to misaligned schedules and costly delays.

Compliance risks – Manual records make it difficult to maintain audit-ready data and prove regulatory adherence.

The result? Wasted materials, inflated costs, and missed opportunities for efficiency and sustainability.

How the Solution Works

Our Contract Manufacturing & Tolling Visibility Platform brings together manufacturers, tollers, and suppliers in one connected digital ecosystem. Instead of managing disconnected spreadsheets, emails, and outdated ERP modules, you get a real-time, auditable, and collaborative platform designed for efficiency and compliance.

Real-Time Tracking

Monitor material flows, production progress, and inventory levels across all sites and tolling partners with near real-time accuracy. This eliminates blind spots, improves responsiveness, and ensures better control over manufacturing cycles.

Verified Data Integration

Seamlessly integrate with existing ERP and source systems (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, etc.), creating a single source of truth for procurement, production, and logistics. This ensures data integrity while avoiding duplication or manual errors.

Actionable Smart Insights

Leverage built-in analytics to optimize planning, identify bottlenecks, and reduce costs. From improving production schedules to better forecasting material needs, smart insights empower proactive decision-making.

Reconciliation done via Smart Contracts

Key processes — such as material reconciliation, approvals, and delivery scheduling — are done through multi-party smart contracts. This reduces manual intervention, shortens cycle times, and minimizes the risk of disputes.

Shared Data Collaboration

All stakeholders — manufacturers, tollers, logistics providers, and suppliers — work on a shared digital layer. Real-time updates keep everyone aligned, improving collaboration and speeding up resolution of issues.

End-to-End Auditability

Every transaction is time-stamped, secured, and logged on a tamper-proof ledger, creating complete process transparency. This ensures robust traceability, supports compliance with global regulations, and simplifies audits.

Key Benefits

Frequently
Asked Questions

What is contract manufacturing and tolling?

Contract manufacturing is when a company outsources production to a third-party manufacturer. Tolling (or toll processing) is when raw materials are provided by the company, and a third party performs the processing or manufacturing.

Because most rely on manual spreadsheets, emails, and ERP modules that don’t fully support real-time collaboration across multiple tollers, suppliers, and logistics partners.

It creates a unified view of material flows, production progress, and packing material usage across all partners, with live updates and automated alerts.

Yes. The platform is designed to augment SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, and other ERP systems through seamless data integration.

Every transaction is logged on a tamper-proof ledger, creating an automatic audit trail that supports global regulations and internal policies.

Absolutely. Automation and real-time insights reduce waste, optimize material usage, and cut manual workloads — delivering 12–15% cost savings on average.

It tracks material usage, recovery rates, and waste reduction, making it easier to align with circular economy principles and ESG reporting frameworks.

Manufacturers with complex, multi-party production networks — in industries like chemicals, metals, consumer goods, automotive, and pharmaceuticals — where tolling and contract manufacturing play a critical role.

Empower your tolling and contract manufacturing with visibility, collaboration, and compliance.
