Packaging Manufacturing Software

From raw board and film to finished cartons — one system that tracks every run.

Run your packaging plant on one system built for how you actually work. Define a bill of materials for every carton, box, pouch or label, raise work orders, and let production consume raw board, film and ink while adding finished stock to inventory. Costs roll up automatically, so you know what each job really took. It works offline and keeps your books tax-ready.

No card required · Cloud or on-premise · Works offline · GST & VAT ready

1

Bills of materials for every product

Build a BOM for each carton, box, pouch, label or sleeve — listing the board, film, ink, glue and other inputs each finished unit needs. Reuse and revise recipes as your products change.

2

Work orders that drive production

Raise a work order for a production run and the system knows exactly what to consume and what it will produce. Track each job from planned to completed.

3

Material consumption and finished stock

When a run is completed, raw materials are drawn down and finished goods are added to inventory automatically — a clean stock transformation with no double entry.

4

Automatic material-cost roll-up

Costs of every input flow up into the finished product, so you can see the true material cost of each carton or batch and price with confidence.

Inventory across raw and finished goods

Track raw board, film, ink and consumables alongside your finished packaging in one live inventory. See what you hold, what's running low, and what a job will need before you start.

Raise GST, VAT or sales-tax invoices for your trade customers and pull the reports you need at filing time, all in your local currency. E-invoice ready where required.

CRM, WhatsApp and multi-store

FAQ

Packaging Manufacturing software — your questions

Does it keep working if the internet goes down?

Yes. The software is offline-first, so your plant keeps raising work orders, consuming materials, recording production and billing customers even with no connection. Everything syncs automatically once you're back online, so nothing is lost.

Can it handle GST, VAT or sales tax?

Yes. Every invoice and report is tax-ready — raise GST, VAT or sales-tax invoices in your local currency and pull the summaries you need at filing time. It's e-invoice ready where your region requires it. We keep the phrasing honest: tax-ready, not accredited.

Can we run it in the cloud or keep data on our premises?

Both. You can run it in the cloud or on-premise so your data stays on your own machines. Either way you get the same offline-first behaviour and automatic sync when connected.

How does it work out the cost of a production run?

You define a bill of materials for each product listing every input and its cost. When you run a work order, those material costs roll up into the finished packaging automatically, so you see the true material cost per unit or batch.

Does it track both raw materials and finished cartons?

Yes. Raw board, film, ink and consumables sit in the same live inventory as your finished packaging. Completing a work order draws down the raw stock and adds the finished goods, keeping both sides accurate.

How long does it take to get started?

Set-up is quick — the packaging manufacturing preset configures the system for your trade in minutes, and you build out your BOMs and inventory from there at your own pace.
