Features
Every feature earns its place by solving a real problem.
Gaiatix has been created to answer the questions product teams are asked. Whether it’s cost, ingredients, sustainability or compliance, Gaiatix uncovers the answers.
Feature
Sustainability scoring
The problem
Marketing campaigns are built around green claims, but nobody can show the working when a retailer challenges it.
How Gaiatix solves it
Gaiatix scores sustainability from every element of a product, using weightings you set. Every score shows a reasoning, so claims become demonstrable and defensible.
- Material, packaging and credential scoring
- Weightings you control, tunable without a developer
- Per-item reasoning, not a black box
- Score by product, range or whole brand
Feature
Compliance screening
The problem
A restricted substance or an undeclared allergen slips through and surfaces at launch or at audit.
How Gaiatix solves it
Every ingredient is tracked by its CAS, EC and INCI identity and rolled up through the bill of materials, so Gaiatix knows what a finished product actually contains. Formulations are screened against restricted-substance and allergen lists the moment they change.
- CAS/EC/INCI identity on every substance
- Roll-up to “what’s really in the finished product”
- Restricted-substance and allergen screening
- Catch issues while they’re still cheap to fix
Feature
Cost & bill of materials
The problem
The “cost” of a product depends on who you ask and it’s always out of date.
How Gaiatix solves it
Gaiatix models the full bill of materials as a tree and rolls quantities and costs up to a single, current figure per product. Change a raw-material price deep in the recipe and every product above it recalculates.
- Multi-level BOM tree with quantities
- Cost roll-up to a defensible price per product
- Automatic recalculation on any change
- Make-or-buy modelled explicitly
Feature
Packaging intelligence
The problem
Packaging rules are tightening and the data to answer them lives on the side of a box.
How Gaiatix solves it
Packaging is modelled in layers (primary, secondary and beyond), each with its material, recyclability, recycled content, weight and certifications. That’s the data behind packaging sustainability scores and regulations like PPWR and producer responsibility (EPR) schemes.
- Layered primary/secondary packaging
- Material, recyclability and recycled content
- FSC/PEFC and other certifications captured
- Ready for PPWR and EPR reporting
Feature
Product development
The problem
New product development runs on gut feel; the cost and footprint only land after it’s designed.
How Gaiatix solves it
Build a new product from a reusable model and watch its cost, sustainability and compliance update as you experiment with materials, ingredients and packaging. You create with the numbers in front of you.
- Reusable product models to draft from
- Live cost, footprint and compliance as you design
- Compare options before committing
- New products start most of the way done
Feature
Calculators you control
The problem
Off-the-shelf tools bake in someone else’s rules and can’t keep up when regulation shifts.
How Gaiatix solves it
You define the calculators in Gaiatix, with every number coming from your calculators attached to the right products and firing on the right triggers. When the rules change, simply change the calculator, not the code.
- Formula, script or visual block logic
- Attach to a product type, model or range
- Fire on change, on load, on demand or on schedule
- Shared libraries for common calculations
