Cosmetics PLM Vendor Evaluation Checklist

This checklist gives R&D leaders, regulatory teams, procurement, and IT decision-makers the 18 questions that surface those gaps before selection, not after — covering:

- Cosmetics industry expertise and domain knowledge
- Cosmetics regulatory intelligence and compliance depth
- Formulation management, INCI automation, and product documentation
- ERP integration and supplier collaboration
- Implementation methodology, support, and long-term partnership
- Scalability, AI capabilities, and future readiness

Score each vendor 1–5 across 6 categories using the built-in vendor scoring summary. A score below 3 in any category should be treated as a red flag — particularly in cosmetics industry expertise and regulatory intelligence, which are foundational requirements for cosmetics manufacturers.
