The Precision PLM System for Regulated Industries
Spreadsheets, shared drives and disconnected email chains aren't built for managing product specifications, formulations and regulatory requirements at scale. Tailored for food, beverage, cosmetics and personal care businesses, Aptean PLM Lascom Edition centralizes every stage of product development in one structured platform.
Develop Better Products Faster and With Less Risk
Product development is complex by nature, especially in regulated industries like food, beverage, cosmetics and personal care. The right PLM system turns that complexity into a competitive advantage. Aptean’s Lascom PLM gives your teams the structure and shared visibility to move from concept to market more efficiently.
Streamline Your Product Development
From initial brief to launch, our PLM software keeps every project milestone tracked and every team member informed. Dedicated project management tools make it easy to assign tasks, monitor progress and identify delays before they compound. That way, your teams spend less time chasing status updates and more time moving forward.

A Range of Versatile Product Lifecycle Management Tools
With Aptean PLM Lascom Edition, your R&D team has dedicated functionality for every discipline involved in bringing a product to market.
Product Portfolio Management
Get a clear, catalog-style view of your entire product and project portfolio using our PLM software's full-text search and filtering tools. Integrated Business Intelligence visualizes portfolio performance through configurable indicators and dashboards, so you always have the insight needed to make informed product strategy decisions.
Formulation and Manufacturing
Formulate with precision using a tool that automatically generates ingredient lists, declarations, nutritional values and costs according to the rules you define. Alerts warn you when thresholds are exceeded. Meanwhile, manufacturing process definitions (including quantities, equipment, parameters and testing protocols) are stored alongside each formula for complete process documentation.
New Product Development and Workflows
Manage the complete product development cycle from a single platform. Stage gate management, automated notifications, Gantt chart visualization and milestone tracking keep every project on schedule. What’s more, configurable workflows ensure tasks are assigned to the right team members at the right time with full audit trail documentation.
Packaging and Artwork Development
Create, manage and validate packaging specifications with built-in artwork proofing and comparison tools that streamline the graphic design process. From initial brief through final approval, every packaging asset and its revision history is centralized, reducing errors and keeping your teams working from the same version.
Product Specification and Document Management
Manage product specifications from initial data entry through automatic document generation using customizable templates. An integrated electronic document management system stores all associated records—including raw material specifications, regulatory documents and product history—in a structured, searchable repository accessible to every authorized team member.
Lifecycle Management
Track every product, recipe and specification through its full development lifecycle—from initial draft through review, approval and launch. Status-based workflows control how records progress and who can make changes at each stage, while full revision history ensures your teams always know which version is current and can trace every change made along the way.
Regulatory Compliance
Verify recipe compliance against customer and regulatory requirements at the formulation stage, before production begins. Labeling functionalities across multiple languages and regulatory zones keep your products market-ready across all territories, while automatic PIF generation facilitates cosmetovigilance incident tracking.
Supplier Management
Your suppliers can enter raw material, packaging and company data directly through a secure portal, keeping your repository accurate without burdening your internal teams with manual data capture. An integrated workflow engine manages the content and timing of every exchange, with approval cycles handled entirely within the platform.
