Packhouse and sorting facility management system

Manage change, don't chase it.

In a packhouse no production plan is ever final, and one change pulls the next.

Packhouse.farm shows the whole picture at every change and computes ready plan scenarios to choose from. Every order ships on time, and change stops eating your margin.

This is how Packhouse.farm is designed to work

From an order correction to a new plan in one view.

A change comes in, Packhouse.farm recomputes the whole picture into ready scenarios, and the decision stays with you. The hall and the cold store get the new plan at the same moment.

Plan scenarios at every change

Packhouse.farm brings demand, supply and the hall's constraints into one computation. From that whole picture it derives ready plan scenarios, and you compare the consequences and choose.

How production managers regain control of the production plan

You know the consequences before you approve the plan

Every scenario shows upfront what follows from it: which pickups are covered from stock, which from production, and where raw fruit is missing. You see the coverage of the whole day's orders in one bar, so you approve the plan knowing its effects.

You arrange jobs, lines and people from one pool

Production jobs wait in one pool, and you assign them to lines in the order you choose. The system watches line capacity, worker availability and changeover time, so you see right away what fits in the day.

You settle every job backwards, to the kilogram and the złoty

After a job is finished you see its full history: where the raw fruit was taken from, how much went to sort-out, what packaging was used and what the changeover cost. Cost is computed per class, so you know what builds the margin and what eats it.

Change is a working condition, not an accident.

We know that one change pulls the next. Customers correct orders until the last minute, and fruit will not wait. Raw fruit loses value with every hour, so plan decisions are made right away. It is the world around the packhouse that changes, not the team that fails.

The whole packhouse works on one plan.
Every order ships on time, every kilogram leaves the dock at full value, and the margin stays untouched.
