Transfer bookings and balances will be created accordingly. Which rules have been applied is easily visible in the transfer.  [![Rule evaluation_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Rule%20evaluation_XS.jpg?width=1130&height=663&name=Rule%20evaluation_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Rule%20evaluation_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Create reports for colleagues and counterparties Make sure everyone involved gets the right information, at the right time. Use Custom Reports to share management or transaction data with colleagues, management or counterparties. [![Custom reports_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Custom%20reports_XS.jpg?width=1280&height=787&name=Custom%20reports_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Custom%20reports_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) Keep working in your own, unique way Keep working the way you're used to. Shape PackControl around your business processes. In the complex world of logistics, with lots of non-standard agreements, we have made sure you can easily adjust settings without adding complexity.  [Design your own business processes](https://www.packcontrol.com/capabilities#list-faq-item-1-designyourownbusinessprocesses) [Create journal lines, like a proper financial system](https://www.packcontrol.com/capabilities#list-faq-item-2-createjournallineslikeaproperfinancialsystem) [Keep it simple – preset PackControl in the way your organisation works](https://www.packcontrol.com/capabilities#list-faq-item-3-keepitsimplepresetpackcontrolinthewayyourorganisationworks) [Give everyone the access they need](https://www.packcontrol.com/capabilities#list-faq-item-4-giveeveryonetheaccesstheyneed) [Create personalized menu's](https://www.packcontrol.com/capabilities#list-faq-item-5-createpersonalizedmenus) ## Design your own business processes PackControl is designed to support your way of working. For every key process (Transfers, Trips, Tickets, Rental contracts, etc.) you can set up stages that match your organisation's workflows and approval processes.  [![Transfer Stage](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/Screenshots/Transfer%20Stage.jpg?width=960&height=480&name=Transfer%20Stage.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Blogs/Screenshots/Transfer%20Stage.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Create journal lines, like a proper financial system Like financial software, posted transfers will generate journal lines. These journal lines are then used to calculate balances and deposit amounts. Unfinalized transfers (i.e. not posted) do not affect balances or deposits. You can set business rules to apply deviating counterparty agreements to relevant bookings, or use standard settings to create balances and deposits where applicable. [![Journal lines_XXS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Journal%20lines_XXS.jpg?width=1366&height=429&name=Journal%20lines_XXS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Journal%20lines_XXS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Keep it simple – preset PackControl in the way your organisation works Configure default Organisation Settings to organise the way your returnable packaging system works and make bespoke settings for individual counterparties like suppliers, pooling operators, customers and carriers to reflect specific rules and agreements.  [![pool rules_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/pool%20rules_XS.jpg?width=1114&height=562&name=pool%20rules_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/pool%20rules_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Give everyone the access they need Not every colleague needs full access to every option and not every colleague needs to be able to do everything within your reusable packaging administration. In PackControl you can setup user profiles with combinations of: - Entity permissions - Action permissions - Stage permissions [![User profile_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/User%20profile_XS.jpg?width=1111&height=655&name=User%20profile_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/User%20profile_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Create personalized menu's Create one or more personalized menu's for example to distinguish features you and your colleagues use every day from the features that are only needed occasionally. [![Menu personalized_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Menu%20personalized_XS.jpg?width=595&height=503&name=Menu%20personalized_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Menu%20personalized_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) Automate agreements made with counterparties and pool operators Looking up, checking and manually applying agreements and special arrangements with counterparties and pool operators can take up a lot of time. Use the PackControl business rules to apply all agreements consistently to all relevant transactions.

This is what sets your packaging management apart. Within PackControl, all of these unique aspects can be seamlessly organized using the various sets of PackControl business rules (Responsibility rules, Balance rules, Pooling rules, Pricing rules, etc.). The implementation of these business rules is flexible and can adapt over time. The impact of a rule can vary depending on its scope, potentially affecting one or multiple journal lines of a transfer. No longer will you need to search for and manually calculate the correct rules and amounts. Once established, the rules will automatically be applied to all relevant transactions. Each transaction will clearly indicate which rules have been utilized, making monitoring a breeze. [![pool rules 2_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/pool%20rules%202_XS.jpg?width=977&height=695&name=pool%20rules%202_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/pool%20rules%202_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Allocate packaging items to the correct counterparty by setting Responsibility Rules Whenever reusable packaging changes hands, a balance is built up with the counterparty. In most cases generic rules apply, but rules can be customized to incur balances with a different party, such as the carrier. Such deviating agreements often apply for parties working with such returnable packaging items as euro pallets and CC carts. In PackControl you can record every responsibility rule, from generic to very specific, per counterparty or per packaging item. You set it up once and after that it will always be automatically applied to all relevant transactions. Each applied rule is visible in the transaction screen, for easy monitoring and transparency. [![Responsibility rules_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Responsibility%20rules_XS.jpg?width=964&height=662&name=Responsibility%20rules_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Responsibility%20rules_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Manage quantities of reusable packaging by using Balance Rules In order to run a profitable business, you need to make optimal use of your returnable packaging. As a result, you may want to control the number of items – or their value - held by specific accounts, carriers or at specific locations (which may also be your own). **You can, for example, set the following rules:** - Minimum quantities that always need to be in stock - Maximum quantities or values of items that are allowed to be held in stock These rules can trigger notifications or entry limitations and can be used for analytics. [![Balance rules_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Balance%20rules_XS.jpg?width=1030&height=558&name=Balance%20rules_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Balance%20rules_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Automatically calculate balances for pooling packaging by setting Pooling Rules An advantage of renting items from a pool operator is that you do not have to track a balance with your counterparty. Also the majority of pool operators work with pay-per-use contracts and therefor you do not have to keep a balance with your pool operator. However there are quite a few exceptions, which you can automate in PackControl.   ## Fixed-quantity contracts There are pool operators who make use of a fixed quantity contract (e.g. CBL Crates or Loscam pallets). Under a fixed quantity contract you will want to have a (credit)balance with the pool operator in order to know exactly how many items you are allowed to pick up. In PackControl you can easily make the correct settings for each type of exception, so the correct calculations are automatically made. ## Counterparties from outside your packaging pool If your counterparty is not a member of the pool you use (e.g. EPS, IPP, IFCO, CHEP, Loscam, LPR, etc.) your accountability towards the pool operator does not change with the transfer of returnable packaging items to that counterparty. You will need your counterparty to return the items to you. In order to monitor that, you want to register a balance with that counterparty. Use the PackControl Pooling rules to automate and correctly register such transfers.    [![pool rules 2a_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/pool%20rules%202a_XS.jpg?width=1028&height=712&name=pool%20rules%202a_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/pool%20rules%202a_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Control deposit settlement by setting Financial Rules Deposit payments for large volumes of reusable packaging will have a considerable impact on your cash flow and financial accounts. Deposits need to be calculated for the correct amount with the correct counterparty or pool operator. Incorrect calculations may cost you a lot of money. PackControl gives you full control over deposit calculations. - Calculate and register deposits per account or per item. - Match deposit calculations with your financial system so they can be invoiced correctly and timely. - Shift deposit responsibility between counterparties or to a pool operator (e.g. the deposit clearing option at Euro Pool System). - Automate exceptions if, for example, you don't generally calculate deposits, but do for certain counterparties.  Once set, the Financial Rules will be automatically applied to the relevant transactions. In the transaction window you can easily monitor which rules have been applied.  ## Monitor items that are not yet credited by the pool operator, using Effective Date Rules Monitor items that you physically delivered to your counterparty but which have not yet been credited by your pooling operator.  ## What is Effective Date Offset of pooling packaging? The effective date offset is the number of days that go by between the physical receipt of items by your counterparty and the date they are credited to your pooling account. We also call these “delay days” or "waiting days". In order to monitor and fully control quantities and values of your pooling packaging, you need to have a clear insight in these items, even when they are in this intermediate phase.  These rules often apply to such returnable packaging items as CBL crates (in the Netherlands) and CHEP or Loscam pallets (in Australia). [![Effective date rule_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Effective%20date%20rule_XS.jpg?width=954&height=393&name=Effective%20date%20rule_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Effective%20date%20rule_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Calculate balances (or don't) for specific accounts or locations with Tracking Rules In general, PackControl registers a balance with your counterparty when items are transferred between you. Tracking Rules will let you specify whether a balance is built up or not and under which circumstances. After setting the rules, they will always be automatically applied where relevant.   You can specify Tracking rules per (group of) item(s). For example: - No balance build-up with counterparties (comparable to single use items or services) - Build up a balance with the account, but not for a specific location - Build up a balance with a specific (group) of counterparties - Build up a balance only at your own locations ## Customize settings for specific (groups of) counterparties, locations and items Specify organization settings applying to your entire organization as well as for individual or groups of counterparties, locations and items.  To avoid misunderstandings and uncertainty you can always see exactly which rules have been used for a transfer in PackControl. [![Organization default_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Organization%20default_XS.jpg?width=635&height=484&name=Organization%20default_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Organization%20default_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) Process transport transfers via Transport & Trips The Transport & Trips Module is developed for transport companies who offer RTI balance registration as a (paid) service to their counterparties.

Yes, it is! [Manage data sharing and mapping for automated reconciliation](https://www.packcontrol.com/capabilities#list-faq-item-1-managedatasharingandmappingforautomatedreconciliation) [Define Matching Rules](https://www.packcontrol.com/capabilities#list-faq-item-2-definematchingrules) [Automate the reconciliation of packaging transactions](https://www.packcontrol.com/capabilities#list-faq-item-3-automatethereconciliationofpackagingtransactions) [Check deviating, flagged transactions](https://www.packcontrol.com/capabilities#list-faq-item-4-checkdeviatingflaggedtransactions) ## Manage data sharing and mapping for automated reconciliation Easily adjust which counterparties are allowed to view certain transactions and manage which counterparties share their data with you. The reconciliation of data is also easily set up.  For example, through value mapping you indicate which data belong together, even if they look different. For example, item number 1234 of your counterparty may correspond to your item ABC. You only have to make the match once and after that it works fine every time. [![Data sharing_XXS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Data%20sharing_XXS.jpg?width=1366&height=371&name=Data%20sharing_XXS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Data%20sharing_XXS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Define Matching Rules You can set unlimited Matching Rules. It makes your PackControl packaging registration system very flexible, as it doesn't matter if your counterparties use a different way of registering transactions in their packaging administration.  ## Example Your counterparty uses the field 'Transaction number' to register an agreed reference number (e.g. the CMR number). In your own administration, this field is called 'Shipment ID'. In the Matching Rule, you can define that these fields have to match in order to properly process transactions.  [![Matching rules_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Matching%20rules_XS.jpg?width=514&height=815&name=Matching%20rules_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Matching%20rules_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Automate the reconciliation of packaging transactions Based on the Matching Rules, PackControl automatically matches your transfers with those registered by your counterparties and / or pool operators.

You can do this even if the source file does not contain all the necessary columns and data. PackControl gives you the flexibility to make your own choices, helping you to maintain control of your returnable packaging.   [![PackControl Import Task Wizard](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PackControl%20Import%20Task%20Wizard.jpg?width=596&height=639&name=PackControl%20Import%20Task%20Wizard.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/PackControl%20Import%20Task%20Wizard.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Easily identify and check incomplete or failed transaction imports If transaction data are missing or registration fails, a transaction is placed in the Import Buffer. This makes it easy to spot which information you need to check. You can make necessary changes, or act upon deviations.   [![Import buffer_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Import%20buffer_XS.jpg?width=1059&height=480&name=Import%20buffer_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Import%20buffer_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Stay in control of all reusable packaging data, even if they are inconsistent Data entry can vary across different systems, leading to inconsistencies, e.g. in how company names and addresses are recorded. While in one system you may have used abbreviations, another may contain the full names for the same clients. PackControl Value Mapping gives you complete control over your data, enabling you to effectively match inconsistently registered data and avoid any duplications or unexpected variations. ## Effortlessly harmonizing data from different sources If PackControl detects irregularities, these are flagged and a data mapping proposal is generated. Data mapping is an automized way to eliminate differences between data in multiple systems. With just a simple click, you can execute the proposed mapping, ensuring that linked data is seamlessly integrated with each subsequent data import. This streamlined approach enhances efficiency and accuracy in data handling.   [![Value mapping_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Value%20mapping_XS.jpg?width=817&height=381&name=Value%20mapping_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Value%20mapping_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) Easily setup PackControl and get started quickly Our user-friendly, automated implementation process makes it easy for you to set up your reusable packaging registration in PackControl. And that's not all: we'll help you get started, as we understand that setting up a new software system is not something you do every day.  [Easily import counterparties and items using the Startup Template](https://www.packcontrol.com/capabilities#list-faq-item-1-easilyimportcounterpartiesanditemsusingthestartuptemplate) [Use Upsert to correctly combine data](https://www.packcontrol.com/capabilities#list-faq-item-2-useupserttocorrectlycombinedata) [Use our Master Product List as a quick-start basis](https://www.packcontrol.com/capabilities#list-faq-item-3-useourmasterproductlistasaquickstartbasis) [Clever data matching, even if you use different names for the same variable](https://www.packcontrol.com/capabilities#list-faq-item-4-cleverdatamatchingevenifyouusedifferentnamesforthesamevariable) [It's not rocket science, but we’ll still help you get started](https://www.packcontrol.com/capabilities#list-faq-item-5-itsnotrocketsciencebutwellstillhelpyougetstarted) ## Easily import counterparties and items using the Startup Template To get you going as quickly as possible, we have partnered with our users to create a Master Startup Template. This template allows for seamless integration of existing data into your new PackControl packaging administration. It's all automated, so there's no need to manually enter items, suppliers, customers, pooling operators and carriers. After the initial import you can further enrich your data through additional data imports (e.g.  to add addresses, locations, contacts, etc. from your CRM or ERP).  If you like, you can keep it simple. All you really need to know about a counterparty is their name and search code. All other data can be imported or manually added at a later stage if required.  ## Use Upsert to correctly combine data The word Upsert is a combination of ‘update’ and ‘insert’. If a record in your import file matches an existing record, the existing record is updated with the values in your file. If no match is found, a new record is created (inserted). The upsert methodology is standard used in all import processes in PackControl, to make sure data from multiple sources are correctly combined.  ## Use our Master Product List as a quick-start basis The PackControl Master Product List includes nearly 200 reusable and returnable packaging items. New (pooling) items are added regularly. The items in this list can be cloned and adapted for use in your administration. Of course you can also add your own unique packaging items to your PackControl packaging registration system. Pre-filled standard properties in the master list items make it easier to setup your packaging administration. GTIN numbers (formerly EAN codes) have been added to streamline data exchange with other software packages (incl. ERP, TMS, WMS). [![Master product list_XXS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Master%20product%20list_XXS.jpg?width=1366&height=703&name=Master%20product%20list_XXS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Master%20product%20list_XXS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Clever data matching, even if you use different names for the same variable Naming differences are unavoidable when you import variables from different sources (ERP, TMS, WMS, etc.). This happens for example when company names, product denominations or other variables are spelled differently or abbreviated in different systems. ## Example Say you use an abbreviation in your ERP, the company's full name in your WMS and a slightly different spelling in your TMS. Such differences are automatically matched via the value mapping module. ## Automated matching Source values are matched using AI-like logic. PackControl's easy-to-use matching interface makes it easy to correctly and quickly match values. Once confirmed, the value mapping is used automatically in future imports. ## It's not rocket science, but we’ll still help you get started Whilst we make getting started with PackControl as easy as possible, we can imagine this is not something you do every day. Exporting and importing data, and linking internal systems with PackControl can seem like a daunting task. PackControl offers full implementation support to make sure you can make a flying start.

For every key process (Transfers, Trips, Tickets, Rental contracts, etc.) you can set up stages that match your organisation's workflows and approval processes.  [![Transfer Stage](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/Screenshots/Transfer%20Stage.jpg?width=960&height=480&name=Transfer%20Stage.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Blogs/Screenshots/Transfer%20Stage.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Create journal lines, like a proper financial system Like financial software, posted transfers will generate journal lines. These journal lines are then used to calculate balances and deposit amounts. Unfinalized transfers (i.e. not posted) do not affect balances or deposits. You can set business rules to apply deviating counterparty agreements to relevant bookings, or use standard settings to create balances and deposits where applicable. [![Journal lines_XXS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Journal%20lines_XXS.jpg?width=1366&height=429&name=Journal%20lines_XXS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Journal%20lines_XXS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Keep it simple – preset PackControl in the way your organisation works Configure default Organisation Settings to organise the way your returnable packaging system works and make bespoke settings for individual counterparties like suppliers, pooling operators, customers and carriers to reflect specific rules and agreements.  [![pool rules_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/pool%20rules_XS.jpg?width=1114&height=562&name=pool%20rules_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/pool%20rules_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Give everyone the access they need Not every colleague needs full access to every option and not every colleague needs to be able to do everything within your reusable packaging administration. In PackControl you can setup user profiles with combinations of: - Entity permissions - Action permissions - Stage permissions [![User profile_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/User%20profile_XS.jpg?width=1111&height=655&name=User%20profile_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/User%20profile_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Create personalized menu's Create one or more personalized menu's for example to distinguish features you and your colleagues use every day from the features that are only needed occasionally.

This is what sets your packaging management apart. Within PackControl, all of these unique aspects can be seamlessly organized using the various sets of PackControl business rules (Responsibility rules, Balance rules, Pooling rules, Pricing rules, etc.). The implementation of these business rules is flexible and can adapt over time. The impact of a rule can vary depending on its scope, potentially affecting one or multiple journal lines of a transfer. No longer will you need to search for and manually calculate the correct rules and amounts. Once established, the rules will automatically be applied to all relevant transactions. Each transaction will clearly indicate which rules have been utilized, making monitoring a breeze. [![pool rules 2_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/pool%20rules%202_XS.jpg?width=977&height=695&name=pool%20rules%202_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/pool%20rules%202_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Allocate packaging items to the correct counterparty by setting Responsibility Rules Whenever reusable packaging changes hands, a balance is built up with the counterparty. In most cases generic rules apply, but rules can be customized to incur balances with a different party, such as the carrier. Such deviating agreements often apply for parties working with such returnable packaging items as euro pallets and CC carts. In PackControl you can record every responsibility rule, from generic to very specific, per counterparty or per packaging item. You set it up once and after that it will always be automatically applied to all relevant transactions. Each applied rule is visible in the transaction screen, for easy monitoring and transparency. [![Responsibility rules_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Responsibility%20rules_XS.jpg?width=964&height=662&name=Responsibility%20rules_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Responsibility%20rules_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Manage quantities of reusable packaging by using Balance Rules In order to run a profitable business, you need to make optimal use of your returnable packaging. As a result, you may want to control the number of items – or their value - held by specific accounts, carriers or at specific locations (which may also be your own). **You can, for example, set the following rules:** - Minimum quantities that always need to be in stock - Maximum quantities or values of items that are allowed to be held in stock These rules can trigger notifications or entry limitations and can be used for analytics. [![Balance rules_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Balance%20rules_XS.jpg?width=1030&height=558&name=Balance%20rules_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Balance%20rules_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Automatically calculate balances for pooling packaging by setting Pooling Rules An advantage of renting items from a pool operator is that you do not have to track a balance with your counterparty. Also the majority of pool operators work with pay-per-use contracts and therefor you do not have to keep a balance with your pool operator. However there are quite a few exceptions, which you can automate in PackControl.   ## Fixed-quantity contracts There are pool operators who make use of a fixed quantity contract (e.g. CBL Crates or Loscam pallets). Under a fixed quantity contract you will want to have a (credit)balance with the pool operator in order to know exactly how many items you are allowed to pick up. In PackControl you can easily make the correct settings for each type of exception, so the correct calculations are automatically made. ## Counterparties from outside your packaging pool If your counterparty is not a member of the pool you use (e.g. EPS, IPP, IFCO, CHEP, Loscam, LPR, etc.) your accountability towards the pool operator does not change with the transfer of returnable packaging items to that counterparty. You will need your counterparty to return the items to you. In order to monitor that, you want to register a balance with that counterparty. Use the PackControl Pooling rules to automate and correctly register such transfers.    [![pool rules 2a_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/pool%20rules%202a_XS.jpg?width=1028&height=712&name=pool%20rules%202a_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/pool%20rules%202a_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Control deposit settlement by setting Financial Rules Deposit payments for large volumes of reusable packaging will have a considerable impact on your cash flow and financial accounts. Deposits need to be calculated for the correct amount with the correct counterparty or pool operator. Incorrect calculations may cost you a lot of money. PackControl gives you full control over deposit calculations. - Calculate and register deposits per account or per item. - Match deposit calculations with your financial system so they can be invoiced correctly and timely. - Shift deposit responsibility between counterparties or to a pool operator (e.g. the deposit clearing option at Euro Pool System). - Automate exceptions if, for example, you don't generally calculate deposits, but do for certain counterparties.  Once set, the Financial Rules will be automatically applied to the relevant transactions. In the transaction window you can easily monitor which rules have been applied.  ## Monitor items that are not yet credited by the pool operator, using Effective Date Rules Monitor items that you physically delivered to your counterparty but which have not yet been credited by your pooling operator.  ## What is Effective Date Offset of pooling packaging? The effective date offset is the number of days that go by between the physical receipt of items by your counterparty and the date they are credited to your pooling account. We also call these “delay days” or "waiting days". In order to monitor and fully control quantities and values of your pooling packaging, you need to have a clear insight in these items, even when they are in this intermediate phase.  These rules often apply to such returnable packaging items as CBL crates (in the Netherlands) and CHEP or Loscam pallets (in Australia). [![Effective date rule_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Effective%20date%20rule_XS.jpg?width=954&height=393&name=Effective%20date%20rule_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Effective%20date%20rule_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Calculate balances (or don't) for specific accounts or locations with Tracking Rules In general, PackControl registers a balance with your counterparty when items are transferred between you. Tracking Rules will let you specify whether a balance is built up or not and under which circumstances. After setting the rules, they will always be automatically applied where relevant.   You can specify Tracking rules per (group of) item(s). For example: - No balance build-up with counterparties (comparable to single use items or services) - Build up a balance with the account, but not for a specific location - Build up a balance with a specific (group) of counterparties - Build up a balance only at your own locations ## Customize settings for specific (groups of) counterparties, locations and items Specify organization settings applying to your entire organization as well as for individual or groups of counterparties, locations and items.  To avoid misunderstandings and uncertainty you can always see exactly which rules have been used for a transfer in PackControl. [![Organization default_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Organization%20default_XS.jpg?width=635&height=484&name=Organization%20default_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Organization%20default_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Register at trip level Working at trip level?

[![API explorer_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/API%20explorer_XS.jpg?width=625&height=637&name=API%20explorer_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/API%20explorer_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Define imports to fit your returnable packaging system Define exactly which data you want to import and from which systems. You can do this even if the source file does not contain all the necessary columns and data. PackControl gives you the flexibility to make your own choices, helping you to maintain control of your returnable packaging.   [![PackControl Import Task Wizard](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PackControl%20Import%20Task%20Wizard.jpg?width=596&height=639&name=PackControl%20Import%20Task%20Wizard.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/PackControl%20Import%20Task%20Wizard.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Easily identify and check incomplete or failed transaction imports If transaction data are missing or registration fails, a transaction is placed in the Import Buffer. This makes it easy to spot which information you need to check. You can make necessary changes, or act upon deviations.   [![Import buffer_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Import%20buffer_XS.jpg?width=1059&height=480&name=Import%20buffer_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Import%20buffer_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Stay in control of all reusable packaging data, even if they are inconsistent Data entry can vary across different systems, leading to inconsistencies, e.g. in how company names and addresses are recorded. While in one system you may have used abbreviations, another may contain the full names for the same clients. PackControl Value Mapping gives you complete control over your data, enabling you to effectively match inconsistently registered data and avoid any duplications or unexpected variations. ## Effortlessly harmonizing data from different sources If PackControl detects irregularities, these are flagged and a data mapping proposal is generated. Data mapping is an automized way to eliminate differences between data in multiple systems. With just a simple click, you can execute the proposed mapping, ensuring that linked data is seamlessly integrated with each subsequent data import. This streamlined approach enhances efficiency and accuracy in data handling.   [![Value mapping_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Value%20mapping_XS.jpg?width=817&height=381&name=Value%20mapping_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Value%20mapping_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Easily import counterparties and items using the Startup Template To get you going as quickly as possible, we have partnered with our users to create a Master Startup Template. This template allows for seamless integration of existing data into your new PackControl packaging administration. It's all automated, so there's no need to manually enter items, suppliers, customers, pooling operators and carriers. After the initial import you can further enrich your data through additional data imports (e.g.  to add addresses, locations, contacts, etc. from your CRM or ERP).  If you like, you can keep it simple. All you really need to know about a counterparty is their name and search code. All other data can be imported or manually added at a later stage if required.  ## Use Upsert to correctly combine data The word Upsert is a combination of ‘update’ and ‘insert’. If a record in your import file matches an existing record, the existing record is updated with the values in your file. If no match is found, a new record is created (inserted). The upsert methodology is standard used in all import processes in PackControl, to make sure data from multiple sources are correctly combined.  ## Use our Master Product List as a quick-start basis The PackControl Master Product List includes nearly 200 reusable and returnable packaging items. New (pooling) items are added regularly. The items in this list can be cloned and adapted for use in your administration. Of course you can also add your own unique packaging items to your PackControl packaging registration system. Pre-filled standard properties in the master list items make it easier to setup your packaging administration. GTIN numbers (formerly EAN codes) have been added to streamline data exchange with other software packages (incl. ERP, TMS, WMS). [![Master product list_XXS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Master%20product%20list_XXS.jpg?width=1366&height=703&name=Master%20product%20list_XXS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Master%20product%20list_XXS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Clever data matching, even if you use different names for the same variable Naming differences are unavoidable when you import variables from different sources (ERP, TMS, WMS, etc.). This happens for example when company names, product denominations or other variables are spelled differently or abbreviated in different systems. ## Example Say you use an abbreviation in your ERP, the company's full name in your WMS and a slightly different spelling in your TMS. Such differences are automatically matched via the value mapping module. ## Automated matching Source values are matched using AI-like logic. PackControl's easy-to-use matching interface makes it easy to correctly and quickly match values. Once confirmed, the value mapping is used automatically in future imports. ## It's not rocket science, but we’ll still help you get started Whilst we make getting started with PackControl as easy as possible, we can imagine this is not something you do every day. Exporting and importing data, and linking internal systems with PackControl can seem like a daunting task. PackControl offers full implementation support to make sure you can make a flying start. ## Personalise the user interface Add your company logo and adapt the colours of the PackControl user interface to match your corporate identity.  [![Branding home screen_XXS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Branding%20home%20screen_XXS.jpg?width=1366&height=512&name=Branding%20home%20screen_XXS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Branding%20home%20screen_XXS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Personalise reports Personalise reports you send to your colleagues, suppliers, customers, carriers and other counterparties.

[![Types of transactions_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Types%20of%20transactions_XS.jpg?width=1025&height=309&name=Types%20of%20transactions_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Types%20of%20transactions_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Manage customers, suppliers and carriers and link your systems Import or manually enter customers, suppliers and carriers and automate the way you deal with them. Standard rules as well as special arrangements can be applied, altered, amended and automated. Active links between your management software systems  (ERP, CRM, WMS, TMS) and PackControl ensures equal data across systems.

Shape PackControl around your business processes. In the complex world of logistics, with lots of non-standard agreements, we have made sure you can easily adjust settings without adding complexity.  ## Design your own business processes PackControl is designed to support your way of working. For every key process (Transfers, Trips, Tickets, Rental contracts, etc.) you can set up stages that match your organisation's workflows and approval processes.  [![Transfer Stage](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/Screenshots/Transfer%20Stage.jpg?width=960&height=480&name=Transfer%20Stage.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Blogs/Screenshots/Transfer%20Stage.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Create journal lines, like a proper financial system Like financial software, posted transfers will generate journal lines. These journal lines are then used to calculate balances and deposit amounts. Unfinalized transfers (i.e. not posted) do not affect balances or deposits. You can set business rules to apply deviating counterparty agreements to relevant bookings, or use standard settings to create balances and deposits where applicable. [![Journal lines_XXS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Journal%20lines_XXS.jpg?width=1366&height=429&name=Journal%20lines_XXS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Journal%20lines_XXS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Keep it simple – preset PackControl in the way your organisation works Configure default Organisation Settings to organise the way your returnable packaging system works and make bespoke settings for individual counterparties like suppliers, pooling operators, customers and carriers to reflect specific rules and agreements.  [![pool rules_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/pool%20rules_XS.jpg?width=1114&height=562&name=pool%20rules_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/pool%20rules_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Give everyone the access they need Not every colleague needs full access to every option and not every colleague needs to be able to do everything within your reusable packaging administration. In PackControl you can setup user profiles with combinations of: - Entity permissions - Action permissions - Stage permissions [![User profile_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/User%20profile_XS.jpg?width=1111&height=655&name=User%20profile_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/User%20profile_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Create personalized menu's Create one or more personalized menu's for example to distinguish features you and your colleagues use every day from the features that are only needed occasionally.

Use the PackControl business rules to apply all agreements consistently to all relevant transactions. ## Automatically apply standard and customized rules Using returnable packaging in your supply chain, you'll have your own distinct set of regulations and agreements with counterparties and pool operators. This is what sets your packaging management apart. Within PackControl, all of these unique aspects can be seamlessly organized using the various sets of PackControl business rules (Responsibility rules, Balance rules, Pooling rules, Pricing rules, etc.). The implementation of these business rules is flexible and can adapt over time. The impact of a rule can vary depending on its scope, potentially affecting one or multiple journal lines of a transfer. No longer will you need to search for and manually calculate the correct rules and amounts. Once established, the rules will automatically be applied to all relevant transactions. Each transaction will clearly indicate which rules have been utilized, making monitoring a breeze. [![pool rules 2_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/pool%20rules%202_XS.jpg?width=977&height=695&name=pool%20rules%202_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/pool%20rules%202_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Allocate packaging items to the correct counterparty by setting Responsibility Rules Whenever reusable packaging changes hands, a balance is built up with the counterparty. In most cases generic rules apply, but rules can be customized to incur balances with a different party, such as the carrier. Such deviating agreements often apply for parties working with such returnable packaging items as euro pallets and CC carts. In PackControl you can record every responsibility rule, from generic to very specific, per counterparty or per packaging item. You set it up once and after that it will always be automatically applied to all relevant transactions. Each applied rule is visible in the transaction screen, for easy monitoring and transparency. [![Responsibility rules_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Responsibility%20rules_XS.jpg?width=964&height=662&name=Responsibility%20rules_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Responsibility%20rules_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Manage quantities of reusable packaging by using Balance Rules In order to run a profitable business, you need to make optimal use of your returnable packaging. As a result, you may want to control the number of items – or their value - held by specific accounts, carriers or at specific locations (which may also be your own). **You can, for example, set the following rules:** - Minimum quantities that always need to be in stock - Maximum quantities or values of items that are allowed to be held in stock These rules can trigger notifications or entry limitations and can be used for analytics. [![Balance rules_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Balance%20rules_XS.jpg?width=1030&height=558&name=Balance%20rules_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Balance%20rules_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Automatically calculate balances for pooling packaging by setting Pooling Rules An advantage of renting items from a pool operator is that you do not have to track a balance with your counterparty. Also the majority of pool operators work with pay-per-use contracts and therefor you do not have to keep a balance with your pool operator. However there are quite a few exceptions, which you can automate in PackControl.   ## Fixed-quantity contracts There are pool operators who make use of a fixed quantity contract (e.g. CBL Crates or Loscam pallets). Under a fixed quantity contract you will want to have a (credit)balance with the pool operator in order to know exactly how many items you are allowed to pick up. In PackControl you can easily make the correct settings for each type of exception, so the correct calculations are automatically made. ## Counterparties from outside your packaging pool If your counterparty is not a member of the pool you use (e.g. EPS, IPP, IFCO, CHEP, Loscam, LPR, etc.) your accountability towards the pool operator does not change with the transfer of returnable packaging items to that counterparty. You will need your counterparty to return the items to you. In order to monitor that, you want to register a balance with that counterparty. Use the PackControl Pooling rules to automate and correctly register such transfers.    [![pool rules 2a_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/pool%20rules%202a_XS.jpg?width=1028&height=712&name=pool%20rules%202a_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/pool%20rules%202a_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Control deposit settlement by setting Financial Rules Deposit payments for large volumes of reusable packaging will have a considerable impact on your cash flow and financial accounts. Deposits need to be calculated for the correct amount with the correct counterparty or pool operator. Incorrect calculations may cost you a lot of money. PackControl gives you full control over deposit calculations. - Calculate and register deposits per account or per item. - Match deposit calculations with your financial system so they can be invoiced correctly and timely. - Shift deposit responsibility between counterparties or to a pool operator (e.g. the deposit clearing option at Euro Pool System). - Automate exceptions if, for example, you don't generally calculate deposits, but do for certain counterparties.  Once set, the Financial Rules will be automatically applied to the relevant transactions. In the transaction window you can easily monitor which rules have been applied.  ## Monitor items that are not yet credited by the pool operator, using Effective Date Rules Monitor items that you physically delivered to your counterparty but which have not yet been credited by your pooling operator.  ## What is Effective Date Offset of pooling packaging? The effective date offset is the number of days that go by between the physical receipt of items by your counterparty and the date they are credited to your pooling account. We also call these “delay days” or "waiting days". In order to monitor and fully control quantities and values of your pooling packaging, you need to have a clear insight in these items, even when they are in this intermediate phase.  These rules often apply to such returnable packaging items as CBL crates (in the Netherlands) and CHEP or Loscam pallets (in Australia). [![Effective date rule_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Effective%20date%20rule_XS.jpg?width=954&height=393&name=Effective%20date%20rule_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Effective%20date%20rule_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Calculate balances (or don't) for specific accounts or locations with Tracking Rules In general, PackControl registers a balance with your counterparty when items are transferred between you. Tracking Rules will let you specify whether a balance is built up or not and under which circumstances. After setting the rules, they will always be automatically applied where relevant.   You can specify Tracking rules per (group of) item(s). For example: - No balance build-up with counterparties (comparable to single use items or services) - Build up a balance with the account, but not for a specific location - Build up a balance with a specific (group) of counterparties - Build up a balance only at your own locations ## Customize settings for specific (groups of) counterparties, locations and items Specify organization settings applying to your entire organization as well as for individual or groups of counterparties, locations and items.  To avoid misunderstandings and uncertainty you can always see exactly which rules have been used for a transfer in PackControl. [![Organization default_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Organization%20default_XS.jpg?width=635&height=484&name=Organization%20default_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Organization%20default_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) Process transport transfers via Transport & Trips The Transport & Trips Module is developed for transport companies who offer RTI balance registration as a (paid) service to their counterparties. ## Register at trip level Working at trip level?

The reconciliation of data is also easily set up.  For example, through value mapping you indicate which data belong together, even if they look different. For example, item number 1234 of your counterparty may correspond to your item ABC. You only have to make the match once and after that it works fine every time. [![Data sharing_XXS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Data%20sharing_XXS.jpg?width=1366&height=371&name=Data%20sharing_XXS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Data%20sharing_XXS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Define Matching Rules You can set unlimited Matching Rules. It makes your PackControl packaging registration system very flexible, as it doesn't matter if your counterparties use a different way of registering transactions in their packaging administration.  ## Example Your counterparty uses the field 'Transaction number' to register an agreed reference number (e.g. the CMR number). In your own administration, this field is called 'Shipment ID'. In the Matching Rule, you can define that these fields have to match in order to properly process transactions.  [![Matching rules_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Matching%20rules_XS.jpg?width=514&height=815&name=Matching%20rules_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Matching%20rules_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Automate the reconciliation of packaging transactions Based on the Matching Rules, PackControl automatically matches your transfers with those registered by your counterparties and / or pool operators.

You can do this even if the source file does not contain all the necessary columns and data. PackControl gives you the flexibility to make your own choices, helping you to maintain control of your returnable packaging.   [![PackControl Import Task Wizard](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PackControl%20Import%20Task%20Wizard.jpg?width=596&height=639&name=PackControl%20Import%20Task%20Wizard.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/PackControl%20Import%20Task%20Wizard.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Easily identify and check incomplete or failed transaction imports If transaction data are missing or registration fails, a transaction is placed in the Import Buffer. This makes it easy to spot which information you need to check. You can make necessary changes, or act upon deviations.   [![Import buffer_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Import%20buffer_XS.jpg?width=1059&height=480&name=Import%20buffer_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Import%20buffer_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Stay in control of all reusable packaging data, even if they are inconsistent Data entry can vary across different systems, leading to inconsistencies, e.g. in how company names and addresses are recorded. While in one system you may have used abbreviations, another may contain the full names for the same clients. PackControl Value Mapping gives you complete control over your data, enabling you to effectively match inconsistently registered data and avoid any duplications or unexpected variations. ## Effortlessly harmonizing data from different sources If PackControl detects irregularities, these are flagged and a data mapping proposal is generated. Data mapping is an automized way to eliminate differences between data in multiple systems. With just a simple click, you can execute the proposed mapping, ensuring that linked data is seamlessly integrated with each subsequent data import. This streamlined approach enhances efficiency and accuracy in data handling.   [![Value mapping_XS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Value%20mapping_XS.jpg?width=817&height=381&name=Value%20mapping_XS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Value%20mapping_XS.jpg?hsLang=en) Easily setup PackControl and get started quickly Our user-friendly, automated implementation process makes it easy for you to set up your reusable packaging registration in PackControl. And that's not all: we'll help you get started, as we understand that setting up a new software system is not something you do every day.  ## Easily import counterparties and items using the Startup Template To get you going as quickly as possible, we have partnered with our users to create a Master Startup Template. This template allows for seamless integration of existing data into your new PackControl packaging administration. It's all automated, so there's no need to manually enter items, suppliers, customers, pooling operators and carriers. After the initial import you can further enrich your data through additional data imports (e.g.  to add addresses, locations, contacts, etc. from your CRM or ERP).  If you like, you can keep it simple. All you really need to know about a counterparty is their name and search code. All other data can be imported or manually added at a later stage if required.  ## Use Upsert to correctly combine data The word Upsert is a combination of ‘update’ and ‘insert’. If a record in your import file matches an existing record, the existing record is updated with the values in your file. If no match is found, a new record is created (inserted). The upsert methodology is standard used in all import processes in PackControl, to make sure data from multiple sources are correctly combined.  ## Use our Master Product List as a quick-start basis The PackControl Master Product List includes nearly 200 reusable and returnable packaging items. New (pooling) items are added regularly. The items in this list can be cloned and adapted for use in your administration. Of course you can also add your own unique packaging items to your PackControl packaging registration system. Pre-filled standard properties in the master list items make it easier to setup your packaging administration. GTIN numbers (formerly EAN codes) have been added to streamline data exchange with other software packages (incl. ERP, TMS, WMS). [![Master product list_XXS](https://www.packcontrol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Master%20product%20list_XXS.jpg?width=1366&height=703&name=Master%20product%20list_XXS.jpg)](https://www.packcontrol.com/hubfs/Capabilities%20screenshots/Screenshots%20JPG%20XS/Master%20product%20list_XXS.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Clever data matching, even if you use different names for the same variable Naming differences are unavoidable when you import variables from different sources (ERP, TMS, WMS, etc.). This happens for example when company names, product denominations or other variables are spelled differently or abbreviated in different systems. ## Example Say you use an abbreviation in your ERP, the company's full name in your WMS and a slightly different spelling in your TMS. Such differences are automatically matched via the value mapping module. ## Automated matching Source values are matched using AI-like logic. PackControl's easy-to-use matching interface makes it easy to correctly and quickly match values. Once confirmed, the value mapping is used automatically in future imports. ## It's not rocket science, but we’ll still help you get started Whilst we make getting started with PackControl as easy as possible, we can imagine this is not something you do every day. Exporting and importing data, and linking internal systems with PackControl can seem like a daunting task. PackControl offers full implementation support to make sure you can make a flying start.
