The packaging firm needed a system to process the work through the factory efficiently and speedily, and produce exact reporting information.
Simply Cartons uses a wide range of modules from Shuttleworth including productive, dataflow, accounts integration, material management, purchasing and estimating.
The firm uses Shuttleworth’s reporting functions to view production throughput, both as costs and also as manufacturing time, making sure that estimates match actual ‘real time’ costs.
James Yorke, purchasing manager at Simply Cartons, said with technology advances in the printed folding carton industry, jobs have to be turned around in days, not weeks.
“Shuttleworth’s MIS system has enabled Simply Carton’s business to focus its efforts on areas where they can be most beneficial. We may not always like what we see, but this information is vital to help us to concentrate and drive future profitable business.”
