(RETURNABLE) PACKAGING
Calculate & Register (returnable) packaging per item or per order, both in- and outbound. Includes two ways: Tight packaging and Loose packaging. Including Packaging Balance (search).
Food companies deal with, often changing, specific packaging requirements from customers. Manually figuring out the exact packaging requirement per order (and line) slows down fulfillment and increases the chance of errors. You want to automate this process.
Returnable packaging accounts for a serious amount of money on your balance. Obviously, you want to have precise insight into volumes and various types of yet to be returned (to suppliers), to received (from customers) and direct available load carriers. This way you can optimize your cash-flow and your processes will never slow down due to unavailable carriers.
Key benefits Returnable Packaging:
Automatic Packaging:
- Use automatic packaging on order- and line level in FoodQloud Essentials to ease and speed up the packaging process.
- The system automatically indicates per order, at receipt and fulfilment, what shipment units and – containers need to be filled with which exact quantity. So, when adding items, the packaging will be added automatically in the Transaction (Purchase Order receive and Sales Order fulfillment). The kind of packaging is displayed in the shipment containers and -units’ entries in NetSuite.
Returnable Packaging:
- FoodQloud Essentials offers a fully integrated returnable packaging administration. Calculate and register (returnable) packaging per item or per order, both in- and outbound. With the integrated packaging registration, you have an overview of available and yet to be received empties, such as pallets, crates, kegs and boxes. The receiving of the packaging can also be done by means of a third party.
