Over-weight pipe eating margin
Actual weight per metre is recorded against the standard for each size and class, so material given away is visible per shift.
PVC, uPVC, HDPE and CPVC pipes and fittings
Plastic Pipe ERP software
Built for plastic pipe and fittings plants, from resin and additive receipt through compounding, extrusion, sizing, cutting, socketing and testing to bundled dispatch, with batch-wise test records, weight per metre control and distributor orders.
Quick answer
What is plastic pipe ERP?
Plastic pipe ERP is business software built around how a pipe plant runs. Formezy records the resin and additive lots in each compound batch, extruder output and stoppages per shift, actual weight per metre against the standard, test results for each production batch and the bundles or coils dispatched to distributors, so stock, material use, cost and quality stay current.
Batch test results on paper
Dimension, pressure and other test results are recorded per production batch, and the batch is held until it passes.
Distributor orders and stock out of sync
Distributor orders, schemes and dispatches run on the same stock, so the plant and sales see the same numbers.
Segments
Built for every plastic pipe segment
3 segments, each with its own shop-floor process flow.
PVC & uPVC pipes
Rigid PVC and uPVC pipes for water supply, plumbing, drainage, agriculture and casing. Compound recipes, extruder output, weight per metre and batch tests tracked.
See the 7-step flowHDPE pipes
PE80 and PE100 pipes and coils for water supply, gas distribution, irrigation and ducts. Masterbatch dosing, weight per metre and coil lengths recorded per batch.
See the 7-step flowCPVC pipes & fittings
CPVC pipes for hot and cold water, and injection-molded PVC and CPVC fittings. Moulds, cavities, shot counts and size-wise packing tracked.

Questions
Plastic Pipe ERP: common questions
Still have a question?
Talk to a plastic ERP specialist about your own plant and process route.
Which plastic pipe segments does Formezy support?
Formezy supports PVC & uPVC pipes, HDPE pipes and CPVC pipes & fittings, each with its own process flow. Plants that combine segments run them in one system.
Which pipes does Formezy support?
PVC and uPVC pipes, HDPE pipes and coils, CPVC pipes and injection-molded fittings, each with its own process flow. Plants making pipes and fittings run them in one system.
Can Formezy control weight per metre?
Yes. The standard weight per metre is set for each size and class, and actual weights are recorded during production, so over-weight pipe and the extra material it uses are visible per line and shift.
How are compound recipes managed?
Formulations list each ingredient, such as resin, stabiliser, filler, lubricant and pigment. Each mixer or dosing batch is booked against the lots used, so material consumption and cost per batch come from actual weights.
Can it record pipe test results?
Yes. Dimension, pressure and other test results are recorded per production batch against the parameters for that product, and batches can be held until they pass.
Does it support distributor sales?
Yes. Distributor orders, stock, dispatches and payments are managed in the CRM and Sales module, with performance reports by distributor.
Can Formezy track government subsidies?
Subsidy and incentive claims can be recorded and tracked with their status alongside the related records.
