Common questions about Abaca.

Abaca serves corrugated (integrated plants, sheet plants, and sheet feeders), paper-related products (paper sacks, carton board, spiral wound tubes, drums, and paper slitting/sheeting), and distribution and maintenance operations. The core Packaging 3000 system is configured per operation type.
Abaca's origin and strongest install base is UK and European packaging converters, and the product is built to HMRC Make Tax Digital requirements. It is deployed globally for similar operations — particularly corrugated and paper-related converters outside the UK. Contact Advantive to discuss region-specific configuration.
Portal 3000 is a multi-device web and mobile app that gives customers, sales reps, and management direct access to the Abaca system 24/7. Reps can view sales figures and customer account data on the move; customers can track orders and access documents; management can access company financials and production statistics from any device.
RF3000 is the bar-coded stock-control upgrade for Packaging 3000. It adds wireless RF devices for receiving materials into stock, moving goods around warehouses, and loading vehicles. Stock-taking becomes scan-and-go. It is an optional add-on — Packaging 3000 runs without RF3000 for operations not requiring plant-floor barcoding.
Advantive provides direct implementation services for all brands. A named implementation lead is assigned at kickoff and stays with the project through go-live. Partner-led implementations are available for select brands when a customer prefers an existing systems integrator.
Advantive ONE extends each brand with cross-system intelligence — surfacing patterns across your ERP, MES, quality, and warehouse data. It runs as a layer on top of your product, not a replacement. Customers on a current support contract are eligible.
Standard support covers software updates, the customer portal (knowledge base + ticketing), and the Advantive support team during business hours in your region. Premium tiers add dedicated customer success, extended SLA coverage, and 24/7 critical-incident response.
