Melange is a freeware technical-commercial program that calculates
prices of mixtures (recipes) from two tables: one describing the
compositions of mixtures and one table containing the prices of
components. The application is completely SQL-driven
(SQLite3).
Melange (french for mixture) is meant for businesses that
have to manage dozens of recipes containing ingredients which costs may
vary considerably depending on oil-prices or season. This holds
especially true in situations where ingredients or components are
present in more than one mixture in varying amounts. Thus,
this program is a valuable tool to see how fluctuating prices of
starting materials propagate in products derived from them.
Businesses include cosmetics, industrial emulsions, paints, detergents,
food stuffs, waxes, oils, etc. An up-to-date price-list of products
(without production, packaging and labelling costs) is of utmost
importance.
application Features:
- Produces up-to-date pricelists of your products, compounds
or mixtures .
- Changes of prices of components or masses in recipes are
immediately reflected in product prices, which comes in handy with
fluctuations of oil prices and season.
- Produces reports on obsolete starting materials and missing
prices in the database with printing and exporting to (TAB-delimited)
files.
- Recalculates mixtures to other total masses then stored in
the database.
- Gives a graphical representation of the cost-buildup of a
product.
- Printing routines for price-lists (products and components)
and recipes .
- Exporting routines for all tables in the database to
TAB-delimited files for import in documents or Excel.
