Digitalization Challenges in the Packaging Industry
Packaging involves both manufacturing and sales processes, which can easily
become overloaded with miscommunication and vast amounts of documentation.
Challenges faced by businesses in the industry include:
High volume of email and phone traffic between external sales teams and the internal sales office, with no centralised system to log information.Â
Human error and misunderstandings that result in a negative overall customer experience and an increased risk of audit non-compliance.
Extensive time spent following-up on sales enquiries, due to missing or incorrect information.
Duplicated documents that are accumulated along the various
sales funnels and product manufacturing lines involved in each customer’s journey.
As digitalization increasingly gains traction within the packaging industry, heavy competition within the market heightens the need for a robust workflow structure that can adapt quickly to market shifts and customer demands.
MULTIVAC UK experienced all of the aforementioned challenges. This prompted their need for a software solution that could transform their complex processes into automated workflows, as well as improve the way their teams collaborate with each other and their customers. Most importantly, the solution needed to be able to fully support MULTIVAC UK and its teams on their digital transformation journey.
MULTIVAC UK adopted Fluix (known at the time as PDF Expert Enterprise by Readdle) in 2013, and scaled the software across their sales and internal office teams. Today, the company’s use cases for Fluix are still focused mainly on the sales side of the business. They use the software to tackle the information transfer from contractors to external sales teams, who then forward documentation to internal office teams.
