Project documents assembled by hand
Roll numbers and their test results are stored together, so dispatch documents for a project come from the record.
Geotextiles, geomembranes, geogrids and geocells
Geosynthetic Material ERP software
Built for geosynthetic plants, from polymer and fibre receipt through extrusion, weaving, needle punching, stretching and welding to tested, labelled rolls, with roll-wise inventory, lot traceability and test records for every roll.
Quick answer
What is geosynthetics ERP?
Geosynthetics ERP is business software built around how geotextile, geomembrane, geogrid and geocell lines run. Formezy records polymer and fibre lots, the recipe used, line output per shift, every roll with its dimensions and weight, and the lab results for each roll or lot, so stock, wastage, cost and the test documents that projects ask for come from the same record.
Roll-wise stock out of date
Every roll is created with product, dimensions and weight when it is wound, and moves through stock to dispatch.
Costs hidden by process
Material, energy and labour are booked by process, so cost per square metre and per kilogram is known.
Segments
Built for every geosynthetic material segment
3 segments, each with its own shop-floor process flow.
Woven & non-woven geotextiles
Woven PP geotextiles and needle-punched PP or PET geotextiles for separation, filtration, drainage and reinforcement. Roll-wise stock and test results per roll.
See the 7-step flowGeomembranes
HDPE and LLDPE geomembranes, smooth or textured, for landfills, ponds, canals and mining. Thickness, roll dimensions and test results recorded per roll.
See the 6-step flowGeogrids & geocells
Extruded and stretched geogrids, PET yarn geogrids and HDPE geocells for soil reinforcement and slope protection. Line output, weld records and strength tests tracked.

Questions
Geosynthetic Material ERP: common questions
Still have a question?
Talk to a plastic ERP specialist about your own plant and process route.
Which geosynthetic material segments does Formezy support?
Formezy supports woven & non-woven geotextiles, geomembranes and geogrids & geocells, each with its own process flow. Plants that combine segments run them in one system.
Which geosynthetic products does Formezy support?
Woven and non-woven geotextiles, geomembranes, geogrids and geocells, each with its own process flow. Plants making several products run them in one system.
How are geosynthetic rolls tracked?
Each roll is created when it is wound, with product, width, length, GSM or thickness and weight, and linked to the polymer or fibre lots used. Rolls move through stock to dispatch under the same number.
Can Formezy store test results for each roll?
Yes. Results such as GSM, tensile, puncture, thickness or carbon black content are recorded per roll or lot against the parameters for that product, and failed rolls are held.
Can it produce test documents for projects?
Yes. Test results stored against the rolls in a dispatch can be printed or emailed with the packing list and invoice.
How does it help control wastage?
Start-up loss, edge trim and off-spec material are booked by type and line, and recycled material returns to stock, so waste is visible by process and shift.
Can orders and dispatches be grouped by project?
Yes. Orders, dispatches and their test documents can be grouped by project, so the rolls sent to each site and their results are easy to find.
