Paper mills work in a very demanding environment where precise management is required for the purchase of pulp and chemicals, large-scale inventory handling, continuous machine operations, and strict environmental regulations. Unlike other industries, the production of paper necessitates tracking of numerous GSMs, grades and finishes in order to maximize machine efficiency and minimize waste. These particular difficulties need a solution that is not only an ERP, but rather one that takes into account the realities of paper production.
Lighthouse ERP for the paper industry addresses these needs with an industry-specific ERP platform built for paper mills. This dedicated paper mill ERP software connects every function of the business starting from raw material procurement and production planning to inventory control, sales, and compliance reporting into one seamless system. This enables mills to maintain tighter control over costs, optimize capacity, and respond faster to customer demands.
Lighthouse ERP brings 38+ years of proven expertise in delivering specialized ERP solutions. Its capacity to convert mill processes into digital workflows and its in-depth knowledge of them make it a dependable technological partner for paper manufacturers. They can rely on ERP solutions for paper manufacturing for efficiency, profitability, and long-term competitiveness.
Dependence on pulp, recycled paper, chemicals , and power, combined with storage of reels and rolls, often causes overstocking obsolete inventory, and waste with proper material planning it can be avoided.
Managing multiple grades, GSMs, coatings, and finishes is difficult with traditional systems, increasing risks of errors and delays in fulfilling custom orders.
Random cutting patterns create excess edge trims and leftover strips, causing direct loss of pulp, energy, and chemicals. Along with higher waste handling and recycling costs.
Frequent changeovers due to uncoordinated order scheduling. Shorter runs cause Poor Machine Utilization
Data silos and manual reporting slow down decision-making, create coordination issues between departments, and increase the risk of errors, with manufacturing erp software it becomes easy.
Tracks pulp, recycle paper, and chemicals in real time to optimize consumption, negotiate better supplier contractors, and maintain just-in-time inventory with paper ERP systems.
Supports multiple paper grades, GSMs, coatings, and finishes, enabling seamless coordination between sales and production for custom orders.
Reduces waste and improves machine utilization with streamlined workflows offered by ERP for paper manufacturing companies.
Balances customer promise dates with production line efficiencies, reducing the number of scheduled change overs.
