Your mixing lines are running.
But where is each batch between compounding and dispatch?
From raw material receipt to finished product dispatch — live batch visibility across your chemicals or paints production. Track yield, quality holds, filling quantities, and vendor raw material delays in real time.
Chemicals and paints manufacturers — batch tracking live
As featured in PrintWeek India, April 2026
Your Production Flow
Every batch. Every yield. Every quality hold tracked.
This is how a print job moves through your business. Clicarity gives you live visibility at every phase — and flags delays before they become client calls.
01
Planning & Procurement
4 stages
Production Order
Production schedule confirmed — product code, batch size, packaging format, delivery.
✓ Clicarity: Batch ID created, formula linked, raw materials planned
Raw Material Planning
All raw materials, pigments, solvents, and additives identified per batch formula.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: one raw material short — entire batch production delayed
Raw Material Procurement
Materials ordered from approved suppliers with test certificates.
✓ Clicarity: Supplier lot number recorded at receipt — traceability chain begins
Incoming QC
Raw materials tested for specification compliance before entering production.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: incoming material fails QC — resupply needed, batch delayed
02
Batch Preparation
3 stages
Weighing & Dispensing
Raw materials weighed precisely per batch formula and issued to production.
✓ Clicarity: Weighed quantities logged — deviation from formula flagged instantly
Pre-Mix / Pre-Dispersion
Pigments or fillers pre-dispersed or pre-mixed before main batch.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: pre-dispersion time under-estimated — main batch start delayed
Equipment Preparation
Mixing vessel cleaned, inspected, and allocated to the batch.
✓ Clicarity: Vessel changeover logged — contamination risk from previous batch prevented
03
Production
5 stages
Mixing / Compounding
Batch mixed or compounded to required viscosity, colour, and consistency.
✓ Clicarity: Mixing batch tracked — start time, end time, operator logged
Grinding / Milling
Pigment particle size reduced to specification using bead mill or triple roll.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: mill blockage or slow grind — batch stuck for hours
Let Down / Thinning
Batch let down to final viscosity with solvent or thinner.
✓ Clicarity: Let-down quantity logged — batch yield vs planned tracked automatically
Colour Matching
Batch colour checked against standard — adjustments made if required.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: colour out of spec — repeated adjustments add hours
In-Process QC
Viscosity, pH, density, colour, and other parameters checked and recorded.
✓ Clicarity: QC results logged — batch on hold if parameters out of range
04
Filling & Packing
4 stages
Filtration
Batch filtered to remove particles above specification size.
Filling
Product filled into tins, drums, cans, or IBC containers.
✓ Clicarity: Filled quantity vs batch size tracked — yield calculated automatically
Labelling & Coding
Batch number, MFG date, and product details labelled on containers.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: label stock-out — filled containers wait without labels
Final Packing
Filled containers packed into cartons or pallets for dispatch.
✓ Clicarity: Packed quantity vs order confirmed before dispatch
05
QC Release & Dispatch
3 stages
Final QC & Lab Release
Finished product samples tested and batch released by QC department.
✓ Clicarity: Release status visible — batch cannot move to dispatch without QC clearance
Quarantine Management
Any batch on hold tracked with hold reason and resolution timeline.
✓ Clicarity: Hold status live — batch cannot accidentally ship while on hold
Dispatch
Released batch dispatched with test certificate and delivery challan.
✓ Clicarity: Full batch history from raw material lot to dispatch preserved
Where Chemicals & Paints Manufacturers Lose Yield & Time
Real bottlenecks. Real costs. Real fixes.
These are the patterns Clicarity helps chemicals paints businesses identify and fix within the first few weeks.
Quality Hold
14 batches on quality hold — 6 had been sitting for over 3 weeks unnoticed
A paints manufacturer audited their finished goods area and found 14 batches tagged as "on hold" — 6 of which had been sitting for over 3 weeks. Nobody had tracked resolution progress. The QC team had raised the holds but never followed up. With Clicarity, every hold has a status, a responsible person, and a visible timestamp. Average hold resolution time: 1.2 days.
Hold resolution time reduced from weeks to 1.2 days on average
Yield Loss
Filling yield consistently 3.8% below standard — cause unknown
A batch manufacturer tracked litres filled vs litres produced for 30 consecutive batches. Filling yield was consistently 3.8% below the planned standard — equivalent to 38 litres lost per 1,000 litre batch. Investigation revealed the filling machine nozzle was dripping between fills. Seal replaced. Yield recovered to 99.1% within one week.
Filling yield improved from 96.2% to 99.1%
Batch Records
QC documentation taking 3.5 hours per batch — done from memory at end of shift
A production team was completing batch records at the end of each shift from memory. Average completion time: 3.5 hours. Errors were common — parameters recorded as estimated rather than actual. With Clicarity, operators log each stage in real time. Batch record completion time reduced to 20 minutes. Accuracy improved significantly.
Batch record time reduced from 3.5 hours to 20 minutes
Real Printing Business. Real Results.
""We had batches on quality hold that nobody was tracking. They just sat there for days while the production team assumed they were dispatched. Now every batch has a status — hold, in-process, released, dispatched. Nothing disappears.""

Questions from chemicals paints businesses
How does Clicarity work for a printing business specifically?
Clicarity is configured around your specific print workflow — pre-press, printing, finishing, dispatch — in your terminology. Every job gets a unique ID and moves through your defined stages. You see live status, timestamps, and bottleneck alerts at every stage. The Clicarity team builds everything for you. You go live in 5 days.
Does it work for both offset and digital printing?
Yes. Clicarity works for any print process — offset, digital, wide format, screen printing, or a combination. The stages are configured around your actual workflow. If offset jobs go through plate making and digital jobs skip that stage, both can be tracked correctly under the same system.
Can it track material wastage at each stage?
Yes — with the Multi Licence. At every stage, your team logs quantity in and quantity out. Clicarity calculates the loss automatically. You see wastage by stage, by job, live — not at month-end when nothing can be done about it.
Will my press operators actually use it?
Yes. The update screen has two fields — Job ID and status. Under a minute. No training needed. GP Offset's entire team was using it from day one, including floor workers who had never used a software system before.
See every batch. Every hold. Every litre accounted for.
