“Packcontrol enables us to take care of everything for our customers. The communication and service are exceptional!”

– Marius Pronk, John Pronk Transport B.V.

Are you spending too much time and money on empty container flows? While clients expect packaging administration to be part of your service, keeping track of items can be a real headache. How can you accurately record how many items are in which location and on whose behalf? How can you ensure that non-exchanged packaging is returned? And how can you calculate costs correctly? PackControl packaging software offers the most comprehensive solution. It will improve your service and increase your packaging turnover rate.

With PackControl, you can configure your packaging administration to suit your preferences and processes. This modern, cloud-based software not only enables you to automate standard processes, but allows you to achieve much more. You can easily enter every agreement, rule and exception, and apply them automatically. This gives you control over volumes and balances with minimal effort, enabling you to calculate costs accurately. You will save a significant amount of time and have complete control over your empty container flows.

Automate your empties management

An incomplete or inaccurate empties administration can cost your transport company a lot of money, particularly when dealing with large volumes or high financial values. PackControl is there for you if, for example, you:

  • Offer packaging registration as a service to your customers
  • Manage packaging and return flows
  • Rent out packaging (e.g. pallets, crates, trolleys, roll containers)
  • Work with one of more packaging pools

How to manage empties flows and reduce operational costs

With your packaging administration in PackControl everyone involved in your transport chain gets the insight they need into their packaging transactions and balances. In PackControl, you record transport transactions in the same way as, for example, in your TMS. The smart, automatic application of rules and exceptions brings clarity to the number of items unloaded and loaded at the loading address and at the unloading address, who is responsible for balances and how many items need to be exchanged. Not only the planner and the client know what's going on, but the driver, the loading address and the unloading address as well.

Quick checking and seamless planning

The recorded transactions provide insight into discrepancies, where packaging items still need to be exchanged and which costs need to be passed on. You can easily share reports with counterparties for quick reconciliation and efficient planning. As a result, PackControl users report a significant improvement in the exchange behaviour of locations. This increases packaging turnover rates and reduces unnecessary mileage.

How does PackControl work?

Before implementing PackControl in your organisation, you will need to import your data from spreadsheets and corporate systems, and set up the necessary rules, agreements and exceptions within the system. We will be happy to help you with this. Your daily transactions will then be imported into PackControl from your TMS, WMS, board computers, and other systems. PackControl automatically and transparently applies the set rules to the imported data. Smart checks, quick reports, as well as online reconciliation and signing give you instant control over your empty container flows.
