CROPPAK

CropPak® is our main Packhouse Management Program




EARLY DAYS

Originally known as PAKTRAK, development started in 1991 as part of Positive Software’s early venturing into application design. It was originally designed to track packaging supplies in the packhouse - a packhouse packaging control program. 


EVOLUTION - TANDEM DEVELOPMENT WITH THE INDUSTRY

CROPPAK has since undergone considerable development each year to reflect industry changes and has been continually enhanced to suit the needs of users. CROPPAK products are the preferred Packhouse software of 90% of pip-fruit and kiwifruit packhouses in the Nelson Region.

WORKING WITH PACKHOUSES BIG AND SMALL

CROPPAK is a comprehensive packhouse management software suited to any size pip-fruit packing shed. It is run in conjunction with CropPak Pallet Printing Software which is suited to use with any Exporter.

KEY FEATURES

Some of the key features of the CropPak System include:

INBUILT HELP SYSTEM AND DOWNLOADABLE MANUAL Comprehensive context (F1) help is available throughout the program. A printed help manual is available.


CROP FORECASTING
Ability to enter grower Crop Forecasts by variety, block and size and allocate percentages to different exporters. This enables packhouse production to be evaluated pre season. Once pallet cards have been saved, forecast/actual graph reports become available.

 

BACKUP
The CropPak SQL server backup utility generates a log backup up at regular intervals and full backup daily.


INVOICES AND STATEMENTS
Available by run or date range, detailed grower invoices show bin and packing charges for fruit packed for all exporters with ability to credit for non-export bins, breakdown packaging costs, enter payments and generate statements, aged and current balance reports. This system is well proven and gives additional value from the software.

COMPREHENSIVE REPORTING
The program has a complete range of packing shed management, production and grower reports. The reporting module is extensive and includes an "Ad-Hoc" feature for self configured reports based on the information you require.. Comprehensive grower reports give additional value from the software and enable growers to evaluate production trends. Reports give totals in units, kilograms and TCE’s and show average fruit size and packouts. Reports can be directly accessed by growers allowing them to view real-time online reports of packed product and inventories (see the Crop Manager page).

DATA INTEGRITY CHECKING
Recalculate option for packed data/bins dumped etc verifies data integrity.

AUTOMATED DOWNLOAD AND UPDATE OF PIITSA MASTERDATA
Update of master-data is made easy with an automated facility. This accesses the host web-site, downloads relevant data, extracts data files and updates your system. The Enza and Mr Apple contract forms allow sheds to check for required clearances, material numbers etc for each growers fruit in advance.

PALLET CARD PRINTING
Suited to any exporter, CropPak makes pallet documentation simple and accurate. Validations eliminate data-errors.  The Enza Pallet Program is tailored to Enza requirements, another is used for Mr Apple and yet another is used for other exporters.
