Manage corrugated boxes, flexible packaging, cartons, and labels from order entry to dispatch. Built for the unique workflows of Indian packaging factories.
Packaging factories juggle tight delivery windows, fluctuating paper prices, and demanding quality requirements that generic ERP systems fail to address.
Hundreds of dies for different box sizes, styles, and customers. Finding the right die, tracking its usage history, and scheduling maintenance before it wears out is a constant challenge without a proper system.
Customers demand exact colour matching across batches. Without digital artwork management and ink formula tracking, print variations lead to rejections and costly reprints.
FMCG and industrial customers provide tight delivery schedules with staggered quantities. Missing a delivery window means production line stoppages at the customer end and penalty charges.
Paper trim at the corrugator, die-cut waste, and print rejects eat into margins. Without deckle optimisation and stage-wise waste tracking, profitability suffers on every order.
Kraft paper and board prices fluctuate frequently. Quotations based on old paper rates turn profitable orders into loss-making ones if costs are not recalculated when paper prices change.
A single packaging order flows through corrugation, printing, lamination, die-cutting, pasting, and packing. Coordinating these stages with different machine capacities and setup times is difficult without integrated planning.
Modules designed specifically for corrugated, flexible, and carton packaging workflows.
Maintain a complete die inventory with dimensions, deckle utilisation percentage, customer-product mapping, and usage counts. Automatic die selection when orders are entered. Maintenance scheduling and replacement alerts based on usage thresholds.
Store approved artwork files, Pantone colour references, and ink formulations per product. Print inspection with colour density logging. Track approval workflows from customer artwork submission to production-ready status.
Import customer delivery schedules with staggered quantities and dates. Production planning aligned to delivery windows. Real-time alerts for orders at risk of delay. On-time delivery performance dashboards per customer.
Track trim loss at corrugator, die-cutting, and printing stages separately. Calculate deckle utilisation for each board size and suggest optimal sheet sizes. Compare actual vs standard waste percentages per product and per machine.
Product costs automatically recalculate when paper or ink prices change. Cost breakdowns by paper, ink, adhesive, conversion, and overheads. Rate revision alerts for pending quotations when raw material prices fluctuate.
Plan corrugation, printing, lamination, die-cutting, and pasting as linked operations. Machine-wise capacity planning with setup time consideration. Visual production board showing order progress through each stage.

Common questions from packaging manufacturers evaluating ERPDrive.
Yes. ERPDrive maintains a die library with details including die number, dimensions, deckle utilisation, product mapping, and usage count. Each die is linked to specific products and customers, so when an order comes in, the system automatically identifies the correct die. Die maintenance schedules and replacement tracking ensure you never run production on a worn-out die.
ERPDrive stores artwork files, Pantone or spot colour references, and ink formulations against each product. When a print job is scheduled, the system shows the approved artwork and colour specifications. Print inspection results including colour density readings and registration accuracy are logged against each batch, creating an audit trail from artwork approval to final print quality.
Yes. Packaging customers often provide weekly or monthly delivery schedules with staggered quantities. ERPDrive imports these schedules and plans production accordingly. The system tracks schedule adherence, alerts you about upcoming deliveries, and flags any orders at risk of delay. Delivery performance reports show on-time delivery percentage per customer.
ERPDrive tracks waste at every stage of corrugated box manufacturing: paper trim at the corrugator, die-cut waste at the punching machine, and print rejects at the printer. The system calculates deckle utilisation percentage for each board size, helping you optimise sheet sizes to minimise trim loss. Waste reports compare actual vs standard waste per product and per machine.
ERPDrive's costing module supports dynamic raw material pricing. When paper prices change, you update the rate and the system recalculates product costs for all pending quotations and orders. Cost breakdowns show paper cost, ink cost, adhesive cost, conversion cost, and overheads separately, making it easy to revise prices when paper markets fluctuate.
