Feature Summary Vegetable Packing Made Easy!
Stock Arrival The Stock Arrival module allows your pack-house to record containers of produce when it arrives at a storage site or pack-house. The produce can be tracked accurately throughout the storage and processing phase of production allowing efficient unprocessed goods management via identification barcode labels which can be scanned using a PDA device. This module is an essential part of the ProducePak Pack-House suite. Record Incoming Produce Using the Stock Arrival module you can record simple details of incoming produce, or you can record detailed information depending on your requirements. Each time stock is brought from the crop/grower to the storage/pack-house, a Stock Arrival record is created. Essential details such as:
and other details are recorded. Note that many of these details are optional. Scan incoming stock for traceability Use a PDA to scan incoming stock to collect origin, picker, crop ID and other information. Quick, simple, and accurate! Other features
Packing Labour Create Staff Pay Records Using the Packing Labour module you can rapidly record packing labour. The intuitive forms allows you to copy labour records from yesterday (or a selected Lot), or rapidly tick the staff working today. Scan Cartons to Record Labour Use a PDA to scan packed pallets to record scanned data (this process also records the creation of the packed product as well). Determine Lot/Batch Labour Costs The Packing Labour module allows you to monitor packing labour costs on a Lot by Lot basis. This information can later be used to bill other growers for packing services. Other reports allow you to track the per carton packing costs and more… Determine Overall Labour Costs Use this module to track overall packing costs over any selected period of time.

The Packing Priority Control module allows sales orders to be prioritised by administration or marketing staff when they are received, and the packing shed staff will automatically be alerted of the priority of each order during their daily packing activities. Printed Packing Priority Staff can print Packing Priority forms and distribute to each line manager or pack manager to ensure produce is packed in the correct order. Video display of priorities Staff can also view the priority of packing not only on PC’s but also on large display monitors that can be mounted in the packing shed. Individual Sales Order Priority Packing priorities are based on the importance of Sales Orders, so an individual order from a specific customer can be given absolute priority over other customer orders.
Used correctly, the QA module is highly accurate; existing ProducePak QC users have reported receiving QC tests from chain stores which matched the QA results from ProducePak to the decimal place. Record Pre Pack QC Pre Pack QC can be performed on Bins. This allows the measurement of produce quality before it is sorted, and used in conjunction with picker numbers can be used to identify pickers whom are performing poorly and help growers improve the produce quality which is delivered to the packing facility. Quality Control, any time, anywhere Quality control can be performed at any time throughout the process, allowing your business to determine its own quality control processes and criteria. One Click Traceability Reporting Rapidly perform a recall or traceability audit simply by specifying the Batch number. Instantly return details of the entire production and packing history of a batch. Recalls can also be performed by the Inventory Batch Number of inventory that was used in the production or packing process. Other recall procedures are available for packaging inventory batches, crop input materials, and block/crop recall factilities. Post Pack QC Tests Once goods have been packed, the cartons/containers can be randomly selected for Post Pack QC Tests. The results of the tests can be used to gage packer performance, and determine the ultimate market for the processed goods. Creating QC Standards The QC module allows you to define QC standards such as Woolworths, or Coles; or even make up your own standards. You can create an unlimited number of QC standards which can optionally be specific to a combination of Produce Type, Colour, and Size. Mobile Quality Control The Mobile Stock Control module allows staff to perform these functions using a PDA (very small mobile computer) anywhere in the packing shed or outside in dispatch areas. See Mobile Stock Control for more information. Extensive Quality Control Reporting Dozens of reports allow the analysis of Quality Control information, from Batch Based QC, to the QC performance of individual packers or teams of packers.

Create & Maintain Pallets Most importantly, this module allows you business to create and manipulate fruit, vegetable, and seafood – on pallets, or in some way “packaged” or processed. Quality Audit Trail Pallet details such as time created, who created it, contents, Lot & Batch Numbers, Weights, Notes, and the complete history of every time the pallet was moved (AND who moved it) is continuously automatically recorded in the background. An audit of a pallets history can be performed at any time at the click of a button. Automatic Materials Consumption The system automatically records the consumption of packaging materials (eg: cartons, trays, plastic punnets/sleeves etc). This information can later be used to analyse packing costs. Pallet Labels (Standard) Print pallet labels that identify the fruit, vegetable, and seafood on each pallet. The pallet label has a Pallet Number which is automatically generated by ProducePak. EAN Pallet Labels Generate EAN Pallet labels using either your own GTINS or those belonging to a supplier, create labels for individual cartons, as well as pallets. Stock Control Bar-Codes For use in conjunction with our mobile bar-coding solution, each pallet can have a unique barcode for stock control.
