|
| What packaging specifications are contained in the system? |
| A number of industry standard packaging templates are available with IntellaPac Pro. Corrugated, flexible packaging and folding cartons to name a few. Our team of application specialists will help you determine the applicability of available templates and help you quickly develop those that may be unique to your business. |
|
| Can I capture the Bill of Materials (Build)? |
| BOM's can be created multiple ways at multiple levels. It is as easy to create a BOM at the Unit Load level as it is at the product package level. A Build can then be exported as a file that can be used by most software applications. |
|
| Who can create or change a specification? |
| The permission to change a specification is determined by assigning specific capabilities to individual users. Based upon your business requirements, permission to create and/or change a specification can be granted by your system administrator. You can establish the rules for users based upon their group, function and role. |
|
| How can I be sure that new or changed specifications are properly reviewed and approved? |
| The specification review and approval process normally involves people in many parts of the organization. IntellaPac Pro provides a mechanism to support the review and approval process. |
|
| What data formats can be imported into IntellaPac Pro? |
| Data from accounting systems, legacy systems or other applications can be imported into IntellaPac. Standard input formats are provided during the implementation process as an aid to data preparation. IntellaPac's developers can create custom data collection and data handling programs to facilitate data collection and exchanging data between systems. Other files such as Word documents, CAD and graphics can be uploaded into IntellaPac Pro easily. |

| What cost saving can we expect from using IntellaPac Pro? |
| Cost saving can be obtained through the standardization of components, consolidated purchases, material reductions, more efficient unit load shipping, bringing sales books into compliance with how product is shipped, reduced time to market because of increased communication among product development team members, and reduction of errors in ordering or manufacturing.The time to market for design of a finished good can be reduced by using IntellaPac Pro's standard templates, central accessibility, and review and approval functions,. IntellaPac Pro makes it possible for groups within your organization to collaborate on specifications and share information from a central source. Time savings from design to production can be as much as 50% or more.Reviewing specification components can provide you with decision-making information for combining like items, eliminating obsolete inventory and improving your materials purchase by effectively scheduling use. Much of the data currently resides within your organization. |
|
| Can I design a package with this system? |
| No, IntellaPac Pro is not a packaging design application. Rather, it provides a repository for specifications and related documents from the design stage through implementation. It supports collaboration and communication among all parties affected by packaging and packaging decisions. |
|
| How does this fit with our ISO program? |
| ISO certification programs usually require defined processes, documentation, and verification of activities. IntellaPac Pro can help meet those requirements. |
