ERA's Product Approval module is the best way to expedite your chemical and material approval processes, ensure effective tracking, and avoid setbacks in product development across facilities.

Chemical Management Officers

Chemical Managers no longer have to go through redundant re-approvals for products used consistently, no matter which facility they end up in or whether they are delivered in different containers.

Suppliers

Suppliers can skip the data entry process for already-approved products.

Vendors

Vendors can add their product's information, including physical and chemical properties, directly into the software, seamlessly initiating a material approval request that is easy for reviewers to approve.

Environmental and Safety Reviewers

EHS Managers have access to the same database (if allowed by access rights reflecting corporate hierarchy) where on-site products are assessed and accounted for, thus expediting approval.

Built-in Chemical Regulatory Review

A service for users who want the peace of mind that comes with guaranteed OSHA/EPA compliance
Custom regulations for your facility

Regulatory monitoring and updates handled by ERA
We have a team of full-time chemical researchers and scientists that maintain your lists for you, saving you the time and effort that goes into regulation monitoring.
Different regulatory reviews for different teams

Why our clients love ERA

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

ERA software ROCKS - helps save time

ERA's programs are a HUGE life-saver for me. I'm able to get a lot of regulatory reports done in hours vs weeks. Specifically TRI, Tier II, and various emissions reports/inventories. I'm now working on adding additional modules for safety and other reports.

My company has used this software for 21 years

ERA designed reports specific to our needs and have added to and updated those reports as environmental laws changed. Our finishing material suppliers submit their information directly to ERA, which makes our record-keeping much easier.
