KiwiPlan

Order-to-cash MES for corrugated and paper packaging manufacturers.

  • Estimating, order management, costing, routing, production, shipping, and invoicing in one integrated system — with workflows designed around how packaging plants actually run, not adapted from generic ERP.
  • Purpose-built scheduling for corrugators, converters, die-cutters, and flexo presses. Automated corrugator scheduling sequences runs for trim optimization and grade-change efficiency.
  • Track the full lifecycle of raw materials and roll stock from ordering through consumption. Integrate inventory movement with the production schedule to reduce floor downtime waiting on materials.

FAQ

Common questions about KiwiPlan.

Don't see your question? Ask the team.

KiwiPlan is purpose-built for corrugated packaging (sheet plants, box plants, integrated mills), folding cartons, plastics, and display and specialty packaging. The workflows — corrugator scheduling, roll stock tracking, trim optimization — are specific to these industries. It is not a general-purpose ERP adapted for packaging.

Yes. Automated corrugator scheduling — including run sequencing and grade-change management — is a core module. The scheduler optimizes trim loss across the planned order mix and propagates changes to the Production Control System in real time.

Yes. Many customers run KiwiPlan as the production and order-management system of record for their packaging plants and feed financial transactions to a corporate ERP (SAP, Oracle, or other). KiwiPlan Data Warehouse can also consolidate data with external financial systems for cross-plant reporting.

Yes. KiwiPlan is designed for single facilities through complex multi-plant groups. The Data Warehouse aggregates transactional data from multiple locations into one reporting database, and the Supply Chain Simulator helps model inventory and scheduling across the network.

Advantive provides direct implementation with consultants experienced in packaging plant operations. For ongoing needs, Backup Scheduling services are available — a team of Kiwiplan-trained scheduling professionals can run your corrugator or box-plant schedule on demand. Roll Stock Analysis (RSA) evaluates your order mix over a 6-12 month horizon to optimize roll inventory levels.

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.
