It does not have to take long to implement a system that manages packaging specification, approval and project life cycle. After installing Esko’s WebCenter QuickStart for Corrugated in just five days, US based Landaal Packaging Systems has been able to add designer capacity, track projects, manage process efficiencies and reduce errors.
A third generation family-owned and family-operated packaging company headquartered in Flint with two other facilities in Michigan, Landaal Packaging Systems has been a leading packaging manufacturer since 1959. The company specializes in corrugated shipping boxes, POP displays and protective packaging.
Landaal selected WebCenter QuickStart for Corrugated, providing a single source to keep all active jobs, allowing a cross-functional team to visit, access and really know project status. “The implementation was a very pleasant and efficient process. The Esko team of project managers and support specialists helped to configure WebCenter QuickStart for Corrugated based on our goals,” explains Mark Landaal. “It was quite a difference advancing in five days from email and Excel and Word documents, to a web-based platform for RFQs and the ability to track projects to collect the right information in real time. We also installed Esko’s Automation Engine to help streamline and automate our workflow beyond the quote process. Ultimately, we hope to oversee prepress from art design to manufacturing spec reports to production – and integrate it into our ERP.”
