Miami, FL - 02/20/2020 - Koopress, a large global packaging and labelling producer, solidified a strong competitive edge, achieved rapid sales growth, increased ROI, and experienced a host of other benefits by implementing the HiFlow Solutions MIS software management system.

HiFlow Solutions provides flexible business solutions to help label and packaging producers operate more efficiently and profitably. The state-of-the-art MIS system features standard components such as automated production planning (scheduling), in-demand “Track and Trace” functionality, and seamless integration with ERP systems in its base package. 

Koopress services global clients in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. The company, which was facing market conditions that required rapid growth, evaluated seven MIS companies. Koopress chose HiFlow’s software management system to meet its growing needs and gain an edge in the market.   

“The HiFlow system has simplified the process of tracking products from production using barcode readers”, said Romuald Kowalczyk, head of implementation at Koopress. “This ensures their full traceability and eliminates manual document entry, which can generate costly mistakes.”

Impressive results from a smooth implementation   

With a daily production capacity for more than a million packaging items, Koopress is a complex and sophisticated operation, making it particularly impressive that the HiFlow system was smoothly implemented in just five months. The benefits that resulted are equally impressive: 

•        The company has regained its spot as the leading packaging provider, has met its growth targets and has modernized operational performance.   

•        All employees are functioning more effectively, from sales reps and technologists, to graphic designers and quality control. HiFlow has standardized the flow of job tickets and communications procedures on all jobs increasing efficiency throughout the company.   

•        Effective data collection is improving decision making in all key areas. Report generation provides real time oversight into every department, and the system precisely tracks all planned and actual costs. Managers have accurate, in-depth and timely information for strategic decision making.   

•        Time savings have increased significantly during press start-up and changeover; quicker response times for estimates means orders are signed quickly; job tracking in done in real time; and production bottlenecks are quickly identified and dealt with.   

•        Staff errors have been sharply reduced and ROI has quickly improved.   

•        The HiFlow warehouse management module handles timely delivery of raw production materials and reduces inventory costs. The system provides real-time updates and manages inventory requirement down to the minute, so the purchasing department can make accurate decisions that save money.

Lafler, VP of Technical Services of HiFlow Solutions. “No other software company offers the range of systems we do for label and packaging producers.”   

The system integrates easily with ERP software, gathers real-time data from the shop floor, equipment, personnel and other processes, and enables the Smart Factory concept which connects printers with supply chain stakeholders as well as customers and partners.
