Baruel

Baruel was founded in 1892 by pharmacist Francisco Nicolau Baruel in central São Paulo. Starting as Farmácia Baruel, the company grew from a local pharmacy into a leading manufacturer of hygiene and cosmetic products.

With more than 130 years of expertise, Baruel stands as the leader in foot care across Brazil, with its products available at over 190,000 retail locations nationwide. As the company has grown, its unwavering commitment to quality, affordability, and consumer well-being has set it apart, making Baruel a trusted name for generations.

Their Challenge

Baruel’s quality control laboratory analyzes around 5,000 parameters each month across raw materials, semi-finished, and finished products. Previously, all results were recorded manually in paper logbooks and parallel control spreadsheets. This outdated process not only wasted valuable time on data entry but also made tracking results difficult—especially during audits.

To streamline operations, the Baruel team set some ambitious goals to improve their laboratory processes: eliminate paper records and accelerate report delivery to the factory.

"
We set out to speed up report delivery and go paperless. myLIMS was key to reaching these goals. With the improvements we've seen—and its use in other departments—we can’t imagine going back to logbooks or spreadsheets.
