Built Around Your Packaging Business
PackCPQ adapts to your process. You don’t need to adapt to ours.
Every packaging manufacturer has unique costing formulas, approval processes, document formats, and workflows. PackCPQ is customized to match how your business operates.
No Two Packaging Manufacturers Cost the Same Way
Standard software forces your estimators to squeeze complex board area configurations and custom run calculations into rigid, hardcoded inputs. PackCPQ respects your operational legacy:
- ✓ Different board area utilization costs
- ✓ Variable setup and raw material wastage formulas
- ✓ Plant-specific flexo & digital ink coverage formulas
- ✓ Machine overhead variables and setup labor surcharges
- ✓ Customer-tiered markup margins and regional discount floors
Customization Differentiator
We build the calculation formulas specifically around your business logic, keeping your estimators fast and accurate.
"Your costing process is unique. Your software should be too."What Can Be Customized
Every layer of the platform can be configured to map to your packaging plant's operational workflow.
Costing Rules
Define material area calculations, board caliper parameters, custom scrap setups, ink weight coverages, machine run speeds, and detailed margin breakdowns.
Approval Workflows
Build automated checks triggered by quote size or margins. Setting a floor keeps margins protected.
Quotation Templates
Ensure document layouts reflect your company branding. Replicate your existing PDF worksheets, payment terms, and custom volume pricing tables.
Job Cards
Generate production-ready sheets containing raw materials specs, flute settings, printing coverage instructions, and scoring offsets to ensure zero waste.
Roles & Permissions
Segment permissions for sales reps, cost estimators, branch managers, and IT administrators. Restrict sensitive margin lists from salesperson layouts.
System Integrations
Connect natively with your plant operations database. Sync with ERPs (SAP S4HANA, Dynamics, NetSuite), CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot), and PostgreSQL or Microsoft SQL Server databases.

Our Customization Process
How we work with your engineering and sales teams to transition from spreadsheet models to structured code.
Map Your Logic
Our systems engineers analyze your current spreadsheet templates, pricing variables, and machinery constraints.
Formula Integration
We code your costing rules, validation routines, PDF quotation layouts, and approval thresholds directly into the engine.
Calculation Check
We test cost outputs against legacy estimates to ensure 100% calculation accuracy and structural validation.
Rollout & Training
We load the system onto your local servers, connect database tables, and train your estimators for launch.
Customization FAQ
Frequently asked questions regarding our software configuration boundaries and custom developments.
Yes. In most cases, existing spreadsheet costing logic, board-weight formulas, and waste percentages can be fully replicated or optimized during scoping configuration.
Yes. Custom developer engineering services are available to build proprietary features, special CAD file converters, or specific legacy data adapters.
We build integrations and customizations against stable core API endpoints to ensure they remain fully compatible with future PackCPQ system upgrades whenever possible.
Yes. We work closely with your estimators, technical managers, and sales reps to ensure a smooth configuration validation and team onboarding.
