It’s a cutting-edge platform that lets our R&D team work smarter—giving your project a distinct advantage. ### *Our technology, your gain* FLASH is so much more than an off-the-shelf formulation or labeling database. It gives us an incredible 360˚ view of your project—with customizable data, live updates and real-time analysis. In turn, we can make better-informed decisions to keep your [bar](https://blog.nellsonllc.com/bars) or [powder](https://blog.nellsonllc.com/powders) on the fast track to success. ### *Visibility counts* It’s all about instant access to key information. With the click of a button, FLASH shows us live data on ingredients, suppliers, nutritionals and costs. This not only makes our R&D more efficient, it helps us get ahead of supply chain challenges. ### *A smoother process* All that visibility really helps to keep everyone on the same page. We can easily share batch sheets and nutritional reports between R&D and production. FLASH also helps by documenting formulation development, versioning and approvals. ### *Optimizing your bar or powder* When it comes to optimization, there’s nothing better. We can use FLASH to analyze your formulation and look for ways to cut costs and move faster without compromising quality. We can even adjust input amounts to see how they impact label claims. ### *Fully integrated regulatory support* Just as importantly, FLASH shows your formulation’s compliance status for all relevant regulations, standards, claims and certifications. It generates nutrition labels and ingredient statements—and sends warning notes for things like allergens and prop 65 chemicals. When you add it all up, FLASH is an absolute game-changer. It’s one more reason so many brands trust Nellson for the best R&D support in the business.
