Managing packaging cycles is a difficult and complex task!
It involves:
- a vast number of container types
- different parties within your own company and along your supply chain
- a diverse ITlandscape of many (in-house-developed) systems often resultig in huge, cumbersome excel spread sheets to cope with the bulk of data.
Actual, specific demands and stocks are unclear, leading to parties storing and ordering too many containers, thus locking up lots of capital. Yet, still sometimes partners end up undersupplied, which may lead to the worst case: troubles in production. To prevent that from happening costly ad hoc transports are often arranged.
A Reusable Packaging Management solution gives you visibility into demand and stocks, knowledge over the quality of the containers in circulation and which partners hoard containers, thus putting you in the driver’s seat of your packaging loop!
