Folding Carton Manufacturing

Business software provides tight cost and scheduling control and pro-active estimating for complex product pricing

Dynamic estimating for absolute accuracy. Instant real-time visibility of production schedule including load vs. capacity. Automatic like-job grouping for reduced make-ready times. What-if scenario comparisons and access to cost-of-change information. Integration with leading CAD design software systems.

Solarsoft provides comprehensive information and control of critical business processes for folding carton manufacturers - from the initial sales inquiry through to design, estimating, and order management; from production scheduling and inventory management through to delivery and invoicing. With built-in support for shop floor data collection and supply chain integration, Solarsoft helps increase top-line revenues and track fixed and variable costs to ensure that margins and mark-ups take full account of actual costs.

Maximize Production Efficiency and Reduce Unit Costs

Efficient scheduling, resource planning and plant workload balancing translate into faster response times, reduced make-ready times and increased customer opportunity for you.  Increasing visibility into your production planning processes, Solarsoft reduces production unit costs, while monitoring and controlling manufacturing constraints, such as tooling, materials, art work approvals and die availability.

Pro-Active Estimating to Handle Complex Product Pricing

Powerful estimating, job costing, order processing and inventory modules provide full cost control.  Estimate different product types within one estimate (cartons, labels, rigid boxes, corrugated materials, flexible packaging, general print), and automatically determine best-fit production routing based on the product type.  Utilize the Fast Quote Wizard for rapid estimate creation.

Utilize Single or Multi Plant Capabilities

Take real advantage of multi-plant capabilities, and schedule jobs across work centers, divisions and plants. Share customer orders across multiple operations and maximize production efficiency across all available machine capacity in multiple locations.
