How Corrugation Companies like you actually start
Most corrugated box manufacturers don’t replace everything at once. They start by bringing existing processes into one system, so data stops living in Excel, planning becomes clearer, and teams work from the same numbers without slowing production. We see this often with plants that are running but struggling with:
- Last-minute production changes
- Manual planning and reconciliation
- Unclear stock and paper consumption
- Too much dependency on individuals
In one such case, a corrugated box manufacturer in Europe had been using ERP for years. Operations were functioning, but control was fragmented. Decisions depended on manual reconciliation across departments. They were cautious about change and wanted zero disruption. By bringing sales, production, dispatch, and finance onto a single system, reconciliation dropped sharply. Teams began working with the same real-time data on the shop floor and in finance.
As their finance head put it: “We didn’t realize what we were missing until we saw it working.”

Pre-Sales and Production Product Design Interface
This feature aids in designing products and accurately calculating pre-sales costs. By considering all cost and design aspects, PDI helps manufacturers determine costs and prices scientifically, ensuring accurate quotations every time. This leads to increased profitability and customer satisfaction as all specifications are incorporated into the product.
Production Scheduling Engine
Our intuitive engine manages production schedules from a single screen, optimizing schedules to minimize wastages of paper reels and flute rolls. Customers have reported 5% to 10% production growth using this engine. The time saved in scheduling and managing deliveries translates to higher customer satisfaction and improved Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE).
Reel Management
This feature identifies reels upon arrival and tracks them systematically until consumption. Generating Bar/QR codes for received reels enhances traceability within the premises throughout their lifecycle. The system monitors reel aging, ensuring usage within shelf life and reducing waste.
FAQs
Everything you need to know about ERP solutions for Corrugated Packaging industry
What is an ERP system and
why does a corrugated packaging plant need it?
why does a corrugated packaging plant need it?
An ERP system brings all daily work—production, sales, planning, inventory, finance—into one place. For a corrugated plant, it reduces manual work, avoids errors, and keeps every department aligned so production runs smoothly.
How can ERP improve production visibility on the shop floor?
ERP gives real-time updates on machine load, running jobs, delays, downtime, and output. Supervisors know exactly what is happening at each stage without running around for updates.
Why do corrugated plants struggle with manual Excel-based planning?
Excel is slow, error-prone, and depends on one person maintaining it. It fails when orders increase. ERP replaces guesswork with real-time data and automated planning, making daily work predictable and faster.
How does ERP help with customer complaints and quality checks?
ERP logs complaints, tracks root causes, and links quality issues to actual production batches. This helps teams respond faster, avoid repeat issues, and maintain stronger customer relationships.
Can an ERP handle both sheet and box production?
Yes. A good industry-specific ERP handles both sheet manufacturing and box conversion, including flute selection, board combinations, job tickets, wastage, and delivery schedules.
How does the Purchase Planning feature in your ERP help corrugation box manufacturers reduce procurement costs?
The ERP plans purchases based on item category codes and confirmed sales orders, not guesswork. It automatically compares prices across all approved vendors, identifies what to buy, from whom, and at what time, and recommends the most cost-effective option. This ensures timely procurement with maximum cost efficiency.
What financial benefits can a corrugated manufacturer expect from ERP?
An ERP reduces waste, improves production planning, speeds up dispatch, reduces overtime, and avoids duplicate orders and paper-based errors. All of this directly improves profit margins.
How does ERP support better inventory control for paper, ink, and consumables?
ERP tracks every movement—paper rolls, glue, ink, spares—and alerts you before stock runs out. It also prevents over-purchasing and improves usage reporting.
What problems does ERP solve for fast-growing corrugated companies?
It solves common issues like poor coordination, late deliveries, missed commitments, no visibility on costs, and scattered data. ERP prepares a company for scale without losing control.
Is it difficult for workers to learn or use ERP on a shop floor?
A modern ERP is simple and mobile-friendly. Operators only see the screens they need for their job. Training is fast, and the system guides them step by step.
Can ERP improve on-time delivery and reduce customer pressure?
Yes. With accurate planning, clear production visibility, and automatic alerts, jobs finish on time. Dispatch becomes planned instead of rushed, reducing customer escalations.
Why do manufacturers delay moving from old systems to ERP?
Most hesitate because of fear of change, too much manual dependency, or incomplete information. Once implemented, they usually see improvements within weeks.
