Flexible packaging ERP

ERP for flexible packaging converters

Printed laminates, pouches and rolls go through many hands: sales, pre-press, printing, lamination, slitting, pouching, QC and dispatch. RotoPilot connects them in one database, so you always know where a job is and what it really cost.

Flexible packaging material stock with quantity, rate and value

Built around the packaging job

  • Quotations for laminates, pouches and rolls, priced per kg, per thousand or per piece
  • Multi-layer structures with film thickness and GSM, adhesive and ink
  • Printing, lamination, slitting and pouching on their own machines
  • Rolls and packages with net and gross weight, labels and packing slips
  • Dispatch with vehicle, transporter, LR and e-way bill details, then the GST invoice

Stock and material you can trust

Film, ink, adhesive, solvent and consumables go up on goods received and down when issued to a job. Every material keeps its batches in first-in, first-out order, each at its own purchase rate, so stock value and job cost are exact. Low and out-of-stock materials are flagged before a press stops for want of film.

With more than one plant, each unit keeps its own stock, and stock moves between units batch by batch.

Quality and dispatch

QC records tests against the job's specification and prints the certificate of analysis. Dispatch packs rolls or cartons, prints the delivery challan and gate pass, and the guard records the vehicle leaving. Accounts turns the dispatch into a GST invoice with the HSN and rates from the quotation.

Questions

What is an ERP for flexible packaging?

It is one system for a packaging converter's sales, production, stock, purchase, quality, dispatch, accounts and HR, built around printed and laminated jobs rather than generic products.

Can we track lamination, slitting and pouching?

Yes. Each process has its own machines and can be planned and recorded like printing.

Can we see job-wise profit?

Yes. Job costing takes the actual film and ink issued, wastage, machine hours and factory costs, against the invoiced value of the job.
