SmartFormulate by LTM is a generative AI-powered platform built on Microsoft Azure that helps life sciences organizations connect fragmented R&D data and turn it into usable insight.
It gives teams real-time visibility into raw materials, formulation patterns, and enterprise knowledge so they can make faster, better-informed product development decisions.
Using intelligent clustering, contextual search, and knowledge graph visualizations, SmartFormulate helps R&D teams uncover hidden relationships across siloed data sources.
It supports faster material discovery, stronger formulation decisions, and better cross-functional visibility across product development workflows.
Problem Statement
Life sciences product formulators and scientists often struggle to move quickly because critical product and material data sits across disconnected systems.
Common challenges include:
Linear data views make it hard to track raw materials and formulations across the full product lifecycle.
Siloed data and nonlinear relationships limit understanding of how materials, attributes, and outcomes connect.
Limited predictive insight makes it harder to improve formulations proactively and stay aligned with regulatory expectations.
Solution
SmartFormulate addresses these challenges by offering:
Real-time insight generation from fragmented enterprise data, helping teams surface relevant information faster.
Hierarchical clustering and knowledge graph visualizations that uncover hidden relationships.
A material recommendation engine that suggests alternatives based on enterprise data.
Azure-native scalability and security supporting enterprise-grade performance and compliance.
Key Benefits
Real-time insight generation that breaks down data silos.
Hierarchical clustering to identify hidden patterns.
Material recommendation engine to reduce formulation delays.
R&D acceleration with better regulatory and functional visibility.
