Yes — for formulation, labeling, and supplier documentation management, you’ll usually want a product compliance / regulatory management platform rather than a generic document system.

Strong software options to consider

1) Sphera Product Stewardship

Best for: enterprises needing robust regulatory content, product compliance, and supplier material tracking.
Strengths:

  • Formulation and material composition tracking
  • Regulatory/risk screening
  • Supplier substance documentation support
  • Useful for global chemicals, industrial, and consumer products

2) Assent

Best for: supplier compliance and material declarations, especially in manufacturing and electronics.
Strengths:

  • Excellent supplier data collection workflows
  • Material compliance declarations
  • Good for maintaining supplier documentation and audit trails
  • Strong ESG/supply chain compliance capabilities

3) Enablon

Best for: broader EHS/regulatory compliance with product stewardship capabilities.
Strengths:

  • Compliance workflows and document control
  • Product and chemical management
  • Good enterprise integration and reporting

4) UL Solutions / WERCS Studio

Best for: consumer goods, retail, and chemicals where product registration and safety data are key.
Strengths:

  • Product formulation and ingredient tracking
  • Labeling support
  • SDS and regulatory data management
  • Common in retail and consumer product supply chains

5) SAP Product Compliance

Best for: companies already using SAP and wanting integrated compliance in ERP.
Strengths:

  • Tight integration with procurement, manufacturing, and product master data
  • Regulatory checks in business processes
  • Good for scalable enterprise operations

If your main need is specifically:

  • Formulation management → Sphera, WERCS Studio, or SAP Product Compliance
  • Labeling compliance → WERCS Studio or Sphera
  • Supplier documentation / declarations → Assent or Sphera

My practical recommendation

If you want one balanced option for all three areas:

  • Sphera Product Stewardship if you need broad product stewardship and regulatory coverage
  • Assent if supplier documentation is your biggest pain point
  • WERCS Studio if labeling and product registration are especially important

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a shortlist by industry (food, cosmetics, chemicals, electronics, etc.), or
  2. a comparison table with features, pros/cons, and typical pricing tier.
