When your product is comparable, your service is the differentiator.
Packaging supply disruptions rarely start on the production floor, but that is where their impact is felt most. Kanban.Now gives packaging suppliers and manufacturers the platform to run VMI and consignment programs automatically, so your customers never run out and your sales team competes on reliability, not just price.
Running out of packaging stops production just as surely as running out of raw materials.
Running out of corrugated boxes, bags, cartons, or wrap means production and order fulfillment grind to a halt, while maintaining too much inventory of these materials eats up valuable space and leads to waste as material ages or becomes damaged. Manual replenishment processes make both outcomes more likely, not less
Packaging products are highly comparable, so customers switch suppliers for better service.
When price and product quality are similar across the market, the supplier who offers real-time stock visibility and proactive replenishment wins the contract and keeps it. Without a VMI platform, that offer is impossible to make credibly.
Managing replenishment manually across multiple customers and locations creates errors and blind spots.
VMI partnerships are hindered when there is no direct integration between the supplier's platform and the customer's ERP system, which creates delays, requires manual intervention, and increases the risk of errors. Every manual step in the replenishment cycle is a point where the relationship can fail.
Offer VMI as a service without building the platform yourself.
Kanban.Now gives you everything you need to run vendor managed inventory programs for your customers, with real-time stock visibility, automated replenishment triggers, and EDI-connected order delivery, without a software development project on your side.
Consignment inventory programs that run without manual reconciliation.
Kanban.Now automates consumption tracking and usage documentation in real time, so your Konsignationslager programs operate with full transparency, automated invoicing triggers, and a complete audit trail on both sides.
Your customers' packaging lines never stop waiting for materials.
With agreed-upon minimum levels based on real usage and supplier lead times, inventory is replenished before it becomes an operational risk, shifting packaging supply from a reactive process to a planned, continuously monitored system.
Manage every customer, every location, and every item from one dashboard.
Whether you supply cartons, films, labels, strapping, or protective materials across ten customers or fifty, Kanban.Now consolidates every consumption point, every replenishment rule, and every open order into a single real-time view.
