Client’s Profile

ebizframe ERP for Packaging – Our client is the leading manufacturers of paper sacks, corrugated and solid fibre cartons for different industries in the East African Region. They were established in 1967 and are a mid-sized organization located in Uganda. They have completely changed the face of corrugated packaging in East Africa by bringing in state-of-the-art technologies into their manufacturing processes.

Earlier, they were using a legacy system which was addressing only the counting needs of the organization. It was a box solution not catering to the company’s specific operational requirements. The old system was not efficient in tracking Job Tickets. As the system was heavily dependent on the manual element and the processes weren’t automated, the management was not able to get information on time.

Due to the manual processes, duplicate orders were being created. There was no real-time visibility ofthe material availability. It was difficult to get updates from the Production Department and there was a lack of understanding about Production Order Priority. The Sales/Receivable Cycle was long due to restricted control on the Credit Limit Management. The Inventory Management was done manually and the consumables were not managed properly.

Payroll Processing was done manually and used to take at least 3-4 days every month. There was no proper overtime calculation which led to unsatisfied employees. Also, there was non-availability of MIS Reports as well as of consolidated information for senior management.
