Smurfit Kappa Ireland

Real-Time Sales and Manufacturing Integration Impress Smurfit Kappa Ireland

Among the most respected names in Irish Business since 1934, Smurfit Kappa Ireland (SKI) has been a leading supplier of packaging solutions in the country.

When SKI's dated business software could no longer effectively manage its rapidly growing business, the company searched for a system designed specifically for multi-plant corrugated packaging manufacturers, one that had many features and benefits that would satisfy SKI's needs for integrated sales and stock management. With Solarsoft, Smurfit Kappa Ireland has achieved:

• Order routing for cost savings and maximum efficiency
• Order tracking in all plants, across the entire organization
• Improved information sharing across all business units
• Business intelligence dashboards and reports on key performance indicators
• Full visibility and traceability of inventory

"We were impressed with the way Business VantagePoint displays open-order data, and the flexibility to move jobs between plants. The software provides us with full visibility of all orders being processed in all plants, across our entire organization, and allows us to establish order routing for cost savings and maximum efficiency." Paul Cash, Head of IT, Smurfit Kappa Ireland
