Stock that matches reality
Stock, orders, receiving and shipping in one place, with barcode and parcel tracking. Warehouse and logistics systems can be synced one way or both ways depending on what the business actually needs.

ERP for packaging manufacturers
Packaging is volume and speed with a thin margin holding it together. Runs are long, changeovers are expensive, and the stock position changes faster than anybody can report it manually. Customers order against call offs rather than one off purchase orders, so the thing you most need to know is how much finished stock is really sitting there right now. Alibera keeps stock, receiving and shipping in one place with barcode support, and reads machine data from the line so the run rate in the system is the run rate on the floor.

02What it has to do
What these companies need from an ERP
The capabilities below are the ones that come up first in discovery calls with companies in this category.
02
Machine and IoT data
Alibera reads data from CNC machines, Omron PLCs, Universal Robots and other IoT devices, and can send control commands back. That turns machine time into something the schedule and the costing can actually use, instead of a number somebody types in at the end of the shift.
03
Talking to the systems you keep
A REST API secured with keys and signed tokens, plus Excel and CSV import and export as standard. Accounting, e-commerce and CRM data can be exchanged through a dedicated interface or through files, whichever is cheaper to maintain.
