What Datacor does

Datacor, Inc. is a privately held enterprise software company founded in 1981 and headquartered in Florham Park, New Jersey, that provides integrated business management and engineering simulation software for process manufacturers and chemical distributors. The company serves 13+ verticals including chemicals, food & beverage, animal nutrition, oil & gas, packaged gas, EPC, energy & power, data centers, and academic institutions, with a portfolio organized into three pillars: Business Automation (ERP, CRM, MES, WMS, Formulation Management, Regulatory Control), Animal Nutrition (Feed ERP, Formulation), and Engineering Simulation (CHEMCAD, Fathom, Arrow, Impulse, xStream, GoldSim). The portfolio has been built largely through acquisitions, including INFONETICS, Chemstations (CHEMCAD), Format Solutions, LabelCalc, AFT, TrackAbout, Baytek International (BLISS LIMS/SQC+), Informetric Systems, VDISoft, and most recently GoldSim Technology Group, all unified under the Datacor brand.

The underlying technology combines purpose-built ERP/MES/WMS for batch process manufacturing with proprietary engineering simulation tools (steady-state chemical process modeling via CHEMCAD, dynamic probabilistic simulation via GoldSim, and pipe flow / transient analysis via Fathom, Arrow, Impulse, and xStream), augmented by specialized modules for laboratory information management (BLISS LIMS), asset tracking (TrackAbout), nutrition labeling (LabelCalc), and statistical quality control (BLISS SQC+). The Winter 2026 release introduced AI-driven capabilities for automation, sustainability, and process simulation, and integration partnerships extend the platform into capital project cost estimating (Cleopatra Enterprise) and sustainability intelligence (Nuvio Planet, dsm-firmenich).

Datacor generates revenue primarily through recurring software licenses and subscriptions (ERP, MES, WMS, LIMS, and simulation products), maintenance and support, and professional services for implementation and training. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows an enterprise sales motion via direct field sales, inside sales, and a global channel partner network (including Deinsa in Latin America and Chemstations partners across Thailand, Mexico, China, Taiwan, and the Middle East). Customers typically sign multi-year contracts; named enterprise customers include LyondellBasell, Valero, CITGO, Motiva, AmSpec, Pilot Chemical, Guttman Energy, Lewis Chemical, and Fluid Quip Technologies.

Core offering

Datacor develops and sells enterprise business management software for process manufacturers and chemical distributors. Its portfolio spans ERP, CRM, MES, WMS, formulation, regulatory compliance, laboratory information management (BLISS LIMS), asset tracking (TrackAbout), nutrition labeling (LabelCalc), animal nutrition/feed ERP, and engineering simulation tools including CHEMCAD, Fathom, Arrow, Impulse, xStream, and GoldSim.

Product overview

Datacor provides a portfolio of process manufacturing, chemical distribution, and engineering simulation software organized across three main pillars: Business Automation (ERP, CRM, MES, WMS, Formulation Management, Regulatory Control, TrackAbout, BLISS LIMS, BLISS SQC+), Animal Nutrition (Feed ERP, Formulation), and Engineering Simulation (CHEMCAD, Fathom, Arrow, Impulse, xStream, GoldSim). The core ERP platform integrates with MES and WMS for shop-floor and warehouse management, while specialized acquired brands address specific vertical needs including laboratory information management (Baytek International/BLISS), nutrition labeling (LabelCalc), and process simulation (Chemstations/CHEMCAD, AFT/Fathom-Arrow-Impulse-xStream, GoldSim Technology Group). The portfolio is unified under the Datacor brand following consolidation of multiple acquired companies. AI-driven capabilities were introduced in the Winter 2026 release across automation, sustainability, and process simulation workflows.
