High Volumes, Thin Margins, Shifting Demand. Efficiency Decides Profit.
Packaging runs on fluctuating material costs, seasonal swings, and rising sustainability demands. These are the gaps that quietly erode margin, slow delivery, and put compliance at risk.
Costs That Will Not Sit Still
Board, film, and resin prices move constantly and volumes swing with the season, so a job you quoted weeks ago may no longer cover what it costs to produce.
Scheduling That Cannot Keep Up
Variable customer specs, multiple material grades, and just-in-time delivery make scheduling a daily scramble, and one slip pushes out a customer's date.
Material Waste That Drains Margin
Trim, setup waste, and overruns add up fast in a high-volume business, and every roll or sheet wasted is profit gone.
Sustainability Reporting Demands
Customers and regulators want proof of waste, recycling, and sustainable sourcing, and pulling that together by hand is slow and hard to stand behind.
Material You Cannot Trace
Roll stock, sheet inventory, and finished packaging move fast, and without lot traceability a quality issue or a customer query turns into a manual search.
Compliance and Customer Specs
Customer-specific requirements and label compliance must be met and documented every run, and ad hoc records will not hold up under an audit.
Every Pressure on the Line Has a Module Built to Ease It.
SYSPRO is purpose-built for packaging manufacturers, not adapted from generic business software. Each capability maps to a pressure that costs you margin, a delivery date, or a compliance gap. Mareba switches on the ones your operation actually needs.
Your SYSPRO Can Also Include
Material Requirements Planning
Brings intelligent demand forecasting and materials planning built for variable customer specs, multiple material grades, and just-in-time delivery, so you plan material accurately and cut waste.
Manufacturing Operations Management
Creates and publishes detailed production schedules and connects machines and people on the shop floor, so you meet customer delivery dates even as specs and volumes shift.
Quotations and Estimates
Streamlines estimating and capacity planning so you build accurate, costed quotes quickly, protecting margin as material costs and seasonal volumes move.
Lot Traceability
Manages roll stock, sheet inventory, and finished packaging with lot traceability and expiration tracking, so a quality issue or customer query is a quick query rather than a manual hunt.
Quality Management
Maintains compliance, manages certifications, and documents quality standards with automated workflows and audit trails, so you meet customer-specific and label requirements every run.
Embedded Analytics
Turns production data into dashboards that monitor performance, track sustainability metrics, and fulfil waste and recycling reporting, so you prove compliance and find efficiency gains.
A Global ERP, Configured for How You Run and Where You Run It.
SYSPRO gives you the capability. Mareba makes it fit your processes, your statutory rules, and your market, then stays on long after go-live. That is the difference between software you own and software that actually works for you.
Tax and Statutory Compliance, Handled
We configure SYSPRO to meet KRA, VAT, and eTIMS requirements as part of every Kenyan implementation, and the local statutory rules of each market you operate in. Compliance is built into the setup, not bolted on after.
Multi-Currency and Multi-Company, Across Borders
Sourcing raw materials globally and selling across borders? We set up SYSPRO multi-currency and multi-company structures to match how your group actually procures, produces, and bills across the region.
Certified Consultants Who Know the Line
Our SYSPRO trained consultants have run real manufacturing rollouts, so the configuration reflects how a packaging producer actually plans, schedules, and delivers, not how a manual says it should.
Support in Your Timezone, on Your Continent
When a question comes up mid-shift, you reach a local team that works the same hours you do. No overnight tickets, no waiting on a vendor in another hemisphere.
25 Years. 20+ Implementations. 6+ Countries.
