Digital transformation in 4 steps

for packaging manufacturers

PacLinc is the platform and this is the way…

PacLinc – The platform for digital transformation in the packaging industry

PacLinc is the smart solution for digitalising and optimising your business processes. We connect packaging manufacturers, service providers, brand companies and retailers on a central platform – from the initial idea to technical implementation and procurement.

Thanks to standardised processes, a shared database and uniform communication, we ensure greater agility, transparency and efficiency in your collaboration. With PacLinc, you can optimise your processes from end to end – and gain valuable time for what really matters: your customers.

4 steps to digital transformation

 

Step 1: Efficient processes through standardisation and networking

PacLinc brings order to your operations: we optimise your administrative processes through standardisation, structuring and digital networking. The result? Greater efficiency, fewer errors and increased scalability. From requests for quotations to technical product development and the procurement of repro services, printing plates and tools – PacLinc intelligently networks all relevant processes and ensures seamless collaboration.

Step 2: Digital customer connection: Faster, more transparent, easier

With PacLinc, your company becomes a 24/7 digital partner to your customers. A customisable customer platform enables seamless collaboration – with maximum transparency, efficiency and security. At the same time, your company significantly reduces the effort required for order acquisition, processing, production preparation and customer care.

Step 3: More service, more reach: Your digital ‘one-stop shop’

Expand your range of services and extend your process reach with PacLinc: External and internal services can be seamlessly integrated so that your customers receive everything from a single source. This strengthens customer loyalty and makes your company a central partner along the packaging value chain.

Step 4: Networking of digital processes and digital production: The key to new business models

PacLinc networks digital production machines with the digitised pre-processes – for faster, more flexible and more efficient processing of job, print and punch data. This results in new services and products that can be offered directly via the platform. The future of your packaging business is digital – PacLinc paves the way.

Digitally linking all stages of your value chain

With PacLinC, you can seamlessly network all stages of your value chain. Integrated processes and shared data allow you to manage your business processes efficiently and holistically. Connect every step – from the initial idea to production – and optimise your company sustainably.
