Build a Trade Ordering Portal and Stock System for Your Packaging Business

With Mythex a packaging supplier can build a stock system with reorder points per line, a trade portal where accounts repeat last month's order, a catalogue searchable by internal dimensions and a quote tool for custom printed boxes. Describe your product range and how accounts order, try it in the preview and publish.

Why packaging stock is hard to run from a spreadsheet

A packaging range is wide and repetitive at the same time: single-wall and double-wall boxes in dozens of sizes, mailers, tape, void fill and labels, each sold by the pack and by the pallet. Most accounts reorder the same handful of lines every few weeks, sometimes by email, sometimes by purchase order, sometimes by phone. Then peak season arrives and the lines everyone wants run out together, because reorder levels were set years ago. Custom printed work adds artwork proofs, minimum order quantities and price breaks. What a supplier needs is stock tied to lead times, accounts tied to their usual orders and invoices that always carry the buyer's PO number.

• Reorder points per line based on lead time and weekly sales
• Internal and external dimensions recorded separately
• Repeat orders for trade accounts on credit terms
• Price breaks by quantity on custom print quotes
• Purchase order numbers on every invoice
• Overdue reorders flagged by account

What you can build for packaging suppliers

Stock control for every box, mailer and roll of tape

Each line has its SKU, internal dimensions, board grade, pack quantity, stock on hand and supplier lead time. The app works out weeks of cover from recent sales and lists lines that will run out before the next delivery could arrive. Goods-in and picking update the numbers as they happen.

Build an inventory app for my packaging business. Each product has SKU, type, internal dimensions, board grade, pack size, stock on hand, supplier and lead time in days. Calculate weeks of cover from the last 8 weeks of sales and list lines that will run out before a new order could arrive.

A trade portal with the usual order on the home page

Each account logs in and sees its regular lines with last order quantities, ready to repeat in one step. They can add a PO number, see delivery dates, download invoices and check their credit balance. Your team sees new orders in one queue instead of three inboxes.

Make a trade customer portal for a packaging supplier. Each account sees its usual products and last quantities and can repeat an order, add a PO number and pick a delivery date. They can download past invoices. Staff see all orders in one list with status.

A catalogue buyers search by what they need to fit

Smaller brands buying online want to type their product size and see every box that fits within a tolerance. Show internal dimensions, price per pack and per pallet, and a sample request button for new buyers.

Create an online store for packaging. Buyers enter their product length, width and height and see boxes whose internal size fits within 1 cm. Show price per pack of 25 and per pallet, and add a free sample request for new customers.

Custom print quotes with three quantities

For printed boxes, quote 500, 1,000 and 2,500 units side by side with unit prices, setup and plate costs, and proof stages. The buyer accepts a quantity online and the job moves to artwork.

Build a quote tool for custom printed boxes. Each quote has box style, size, print colours and three quantity options with unit price, setup cost and lead time. The client accepts one option online and uploads artwork.

Accounts that have gone quiet

Record each account's usual reorder interval. When a customer who orders every four weeks hits six, they appear on a call list with their last order and contact name.

Make a CRM for a packaging supplier. Each account has contacts, credit terms, usual products and average days between orders. Show accounts whose next order is overdue by more than 50 percent of their usual interval.

Invoices that buyers' accounts teams can pay

Every invoice carries the customer's PO number, delivery reference and credit terms, with monthly statements for accounts and an aged debt list for you.

Build invoicing for a packaging supplier. Invoices include the customer PO number, delivery note number, lines by SKU and payment terms of 30 days. Produce monthly statements per account and an aged debtors report.

From one fragile spreadsheet to an app

Export your product list with current stock and supplier lead times, and your account list with usual products. Ask Mythex to import both, then check twenty lines by hand against the shelf. Run the spreadsheet and the app side by side for two weeks before peak, not during it.

• Products first, then accounts, then open orders
• Check a sample against a physical count
• Revisit reorder points before the holiday rush

Dimensions are where returns start

Record internal and external sizes as separate fields and label them clearly everywhere they show: catalogue, quote and delivery note. A buyer who measured their product against your external size will send the whole pallet back.
