Tangentia Scan & Pack

Scan & Pack application aims to create complete transparency and control over the packaging and dispatch process between the purchaser and suppliers. Originally conceived for the Retail and FMCG vertical, the solution is generic enough to serve almost all Industry and Domain Verticals. Since the solution is capable of integrating with any ERP that may be used by the Purchaser, it can fit into any existing MIS Setup with very little overhead.

About the Solution

The solution has two components – the centralized cloud component which is installed at the business end, and the vendor component installed at the packaging location of the vendor. The two components interact with each other over the internet.

The vendor component aims at increasing the vendor’s operational efficiency while reducing packaging errors. It governs all steps of the process from receipt of the purchase order to the dispatch of goods, generating appropriate documents such as handling unit labels and proforma invoices at each step. It can function in offline mode, syncing with the server when internet connectivity is present, and communicates the processing status to the server component which in turn updates the purchaser ERP as per configuration. The server component also has a reporting front-end.

  • Provides the ability to scan the barcode for every garment being packed
