History

FORMULATOR was originally developed by ColorTec Associates — a developer of "color QC, color mixing, and laboratory applications" — in 2002. A separate company, FORMULATOR Software, was created in 2005 to further develop the product.[1]

In July 2016, the company announced it was adding a cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) option for its software offerings.[2]
