Planning and production depend heavily on the availability of the right packaging, which is why an effective packaging management system is so important.** **PackControl is the only packaging software that enables you to register and manage all reusable and single-use packaging. Calculations and checks are performed automatically, ensuring your packaging records are always up to date. This provides a clear overview of exact locations, quantities and costs. PackControl users report saving as much as 75% of the time they previously spent on daily packaging registration tasks.** Manually processing packaging transactions is very time-consuming. You can only verify the accuracy of balances once you have compared every transaction with your suppliers’ or customers’ statements. Consequently, errors often go unnoticed until it is too late, or you realise that you have overpaid. ## Automate your packaging administration With PackControl, things are different. You only need to enter agreements regarding balances, deposits or hire charges once. After that, processing happens automatically. Exceptions to agreements or rules are also correctly applied in PackControl. You only need to take action if there are discrepancies between your counterparties' balance statements and those from your own PackControl packaging administration. Any discrepancy is flagged, allowing you to act immediately. ![icon-1](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/image-2025/icon-1.png) ## Packaging management for reusable and single-use items in the food industry Incoming and outgoing packaging, exact locations and correct quantities.
