• Private labeling functionality
• Robust scheduling engine to handle volume scheduling, advanced sequencing, wait times and other complex scheduling requirements

Packaging

From recyclable clamshells to top down bottles and pharmaceutical foil blister packs to flexible pouches, the packaging industry design solutions that provide security, protection, convenience and marketing to the world. But with these innovations comes a unique set of manufacturing necessities, such as the need for detailed lot traceability, accurate part labeling and production flexibility. That is why your packaging company deserve a packaging-specific manufacturing ERP & MES software that fits their needs and can effortlessly transition to mobile as needed.

Packaging-Specific Features:

• Document control view internal and external documents, as well as email, from secure document control libraries with complete audit trails and history
