Specification management keeps every formulation, packaging and material spec in one governed system that suppliers, quality and ERP all use. InspireXT implements Specright and connects it to Oracle, SAP and PLM, so the right version reaches every team.
Capability gaps, supplier dependencies and integration requirements are assessed across plants and engineering teams before a governed specification foundation is built on Specright.
Ingredient hierarchies and formulation attributes are digitised and connected directly to quality, regulatory and audit workflows so compliance is embedded in the architecture from the start.
Structure comes to packaging specs, BOM data and supplier collaboration so product launches move on confirmed data, not the last version someone saved locally.
Specifications are centralised and connected to supplier and operations systems so traceability is real-time, not reconstructed the morning before an audit.
Product data is scattered across most organizations. Between formulators, packaging teams, suppliers, and an outdated ERP, everyone holds a different version of the truth. No one is at fault, the data simply lives in disconnected places beyond the business’s control.
A new formulation is signed off in R&D. The version that reaches the packaging team is from the last email thread. By the time a product change reaches production, three teams are working from three different documents.
A revised version is approved three weeks after the first was sent to a supplier. The supplier doesn’t know. The first version goes to print. No system records when the right version was confirmed or ignored.
Regulators ask which version was used, against which supplier batch, with which quality status. The answer exists in a folder, an email thread, a quality system never connected to the specification.
The quality team has one version. The ERP has another. The most recent supplier confirmation is in someone’s inbox. The line runs, and the check happens after, if it happens at all.
Getting Specright implemented is the right call. Implementing it without connecting it to how product data actually flows across suppliers, operations and compliance means the problem moves to a better-looking location.
It rarely shows up as a specification failure. It appears as a labelling error, a supplier substitution, a quality deviation. The root is the same: the wrong version reached the wrong part of the business at the wrong time.

That covers retrieval, disposal and remanufacturing only. It excludes fines, legal costs and brand damage. A specification governance failure that triggers a recall costs far more than the programme that would have prevented it.

Regulatory bodies in pharma, food and consumer goods ask for a complete chain: version, approval, supplier confirmation, production run. Without lineage and governance, that answer takes days of manual reconstruction, if at all.
A Specright foundation is built that connects product data to the systems, suppliers and teams that need to act on it.
Specright implementations get configured and go live. The InspireXT operating model makes specification data govern the business. Every programme runs on the same four Connected enablers.
Value-chain blueprints from product development through procurement, operations and regulatory. Specright is configured against how the business actually manages and changes specifications, not against a generic deployment template.
Defined phases, deliverables and governance for designing, building and scaling the specification architecture. The programme stays traceable, auditable and connected to the business outcomes it was built to serve.
AI applied to the Specright delivery itself: data discovery, specification migration, integration testing and change management. The team spends less time on manual work and more on the parts that need judgment.
The operating layer for Specright programmes. It connects process knowledge, data definitions and specification governance from discovery through deployment, so decisions made during design stay visible when the architecture needs to change.
Specification management keeps product, formulation, packaging and material specifications in one governed system, with version control, approval workflows and a full audit trail. Every team and supplier works from the same current version.
PPWR and EPR reporting need accurate data on packaging materials, weights and recycled content. Specright holds that data as governed specification attributes, so reports come from one source of truth instead of reconstructed spreadsheets.
Yes. InspireXT connects Specright to Oracle, SAP, Salesforce and Databricks, with two-way data flows, so specification updates reach planning, procurement and quality systems without manual re-entry.
Specright holds the specifications, and InspireXT connects them to the systems and suppliers that act on them. That covers migrating legacy specs from spreadsheets and PDFs, setting up approval workflows, and moving supplier exchange onto the Specright Network.
PPWR is the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation. It has applied since 12 August 2026 to every company that places packaging on the EU market, and its labelling rules follow in 2028. It sets rules for recyclability, recycled content and packaging data that companies must be able to show.
PPWR and EPR reporting both need accurate data on packaging materials, weights, recycled content and supplier confirmations. Specright holds that data as governed specification attributes, so reports come from one record instead of spreadsheets and supplier emails.
PLM manages a product’s lifecycle, from design and engineering change to BOMs and new product launches. Specification management governs the detailed spec data behind it, such as formulations, packaging and materials, and shares it with suppliers for confirmation. The two work together: Oracle Cloud PLM runs the launch and change process, while Specright holds the approved specs. InspireXT connects both, so a spec change in Specright reaches PLM and ERP.
