Case Study: Consolidated Container Company (CCC) achieves a dramatic reduction in Cost of Goods Sold in three months with Hertzler Systems Inc.'s GainSeeker Suite

Consolidated Container Obtains a Dramatic Decrease in Cost of Goods Sold Within Three Months of Deploying GainSeeker Suite

Consolidated Container Company (CCC), one of North America’s largest rigid plastic packaging suppliers with 59 plants and 2,300 employees, struggled with inconsistent legacy systems and no standardized quality-data platform, leaving leadership without real-time plant visibility. Under new ownership demanding corporate-wide Statistical Process Control, CCC evaluated solutions and selected Hertzler Systems Inc’s GainSeeker Suite for its operator-first ease of use, data analysis capabilities, and flexibility.

Hertzler Systems Inc deployed GainSeeker Suite pilots and customized Line Capability dashboards to provide plant-floor workflows, real-time SPC, and rolled-up corporate visibility. Within three months one plant cut average product weight from 6 grams heavy to 0.13 grams heavy—driving a dramatic reduction in Cost of Goods Sold by lowering resin usage—while CCC gained standardized reporting, faster analysis, and improved enterprise-wide quality insight.
