AmeriPak has adopted Toronto-based firm Nulogy's production management software PackManager to streamline their contract packaging operations at their sites in Norwalk and Pico Rivera, California, US.
The software will improve the traceability of materials, and offer a more efficient way of tracking productivity and profitability. It will trace and report materials all the way to a specific pallet and offer real-time visibility to on hand inventory.
AmeriPak's vice president of operations Karen Fuchs said that prior to this development, data was managed in multiple places, and required considerable time and effort to consolidate and report results to clients.
Fuchs adds, "Calculating productivity took us considerable time each week. PackManager has streamlined this process considerably, providing us robust reporting and visual tools to better understand our efficiency & productivity. Quoting has become that much easier. We have a much clearer view into which projects are most profitable, and it's allowed us to grow our business successfully," Fuchs added.
