Case Study: Robopac streamlines procurement and supply chain visibility with KanbanBOX

Robopac streamlines 70 suppliers and 450 kanban loops with KanbanBOX

Robopac, a global manufacturer of packaging machines, faced challenges with its manual kanban purchasing system, which was prone to delays, consumed significant staff time on non-value-added tasks, and became unsustainable as production volumes grew. To address this, they partnered with vendor KanbanBOX to implement its digital pull-material management system integrated with their existing SAP ERP.

The solution from KanbanBOX automated reorders, provided real-time visibility to suppliers and subcontractors, and centralized all communications. This eliminated manual card handling, reduced emails, and automated tasks like SAP entries and kanban sizing. As a result, Robopac freed up staff time for strategic work, avoided a proportional inventory increase despite production growth, and created a more efficient and responsive supply chain across its plants.
