Plan each product line from raw material to retail carton, with every batch and every order traceable.

An appliance plant fits motors, winding coils, thermal cutouts and polycarbonate jars on a conveyor line. Cells run in step. A floor-cleaner maker, meanwhile, blends surfactant, fragrance and colour in stainless tanks before the filling head. A toy maker moulds ABS, spray-paints and blister-packs. A stationery plant slits paper reels, rules and binds exercise books, and assembles pen barrels with refills.

Paper still follows every job. Each product has a bill of materials, an EAN barcode, a shrink-wrap count and a price list per customer, and purchase orders bring in polypropylene granules, corrugated shippers, fragrance oil and screws. A work order or batch sheet then turns them into finished cartons. They go out by the case.

Downstream stand cash-and-carry wholesalers, hypermarket category buyers, marketplace sellers and school suppliers. Each expects its own carton marking, delivery slot and treatment of dented outers or short-dated stock. Labelling and toy-safety testing rules differ by market, so we read the ones that apply with the client during implementation, before any screen is built. Each buyer also wants its own pallet label.
