Unify Your Operations With a Purpose-Built Life Sciences ERP
Built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, our industry-specific ERP for life sciences businesses delivers specialized capabilities for formula control, compliance, quality and traceability. Our trusted platform is designed for mid-size, large or complex nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, cosmetics and personal care businesses.
Generic ERP systems treat life sciences like any other manufacturer. Aptean Life Sciences ERP is different—built for businesses that must manage potency-sensitive formulas, multi-level BOMs, electronic batch records and strict compliance every single day.
Out-of-the-Box Benefits for Regulated Manufacturers
The industry-specific features of our life sciences ERP ensure its setup to deliver quick return on investment by working the way you do. And because it runs on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, you get a proven enterprise foundation with deep life sciences functionality already built in—not bolted on.

Common Life Sciences ERP Questions
Explore the most common questions life sciences manufacturers ask when evaluating ERP systems—from compliance requirements and deployment timelines to formula management and integration capabilities.
Generic ERPs can manage finance and inventory—but they don't understand potency-based costing, multi-level supplement formulas, electronic batch records or 21 CFR Part 11 electronic signatures. Our ERP for life sciences is built specifically for nutraceutical, supplement and cosmetics manufacturers on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, so these capabilities are part of the core product—not expensive add-ons or workarounds.
Our life sciences ERP is designed by experts that are well versed in the compliance requirements of your industry. So it provides out-of-the-box functionality that meets all your FDA, MoCRA and cGMP requirements. This includes:
Built-in eSignature workflows compliant with 21 CFR Part 11
Centralized storage for SDS, CoA, MMR and other compliance documents
In-process checks, non-conformance and CAPA management
Audit-ready reporting for batch history, deviations and quality metrics
