Packer Software Applications

The role of the Packer has changed significantly in recent years, as the supermarkets have introduced the category management procurement model. Packers are becoming category suppliers, which includes direct supply to the buyer, additional product purchase from outside suppliers to meet orders, pre-packing and condition ripening services as well. Our flagship program HTM - Packer offers very flexible configuration options to meet the users' preferred business model. The Grower/Packer and Central Packer programs offer the same functionality, except that the Central Packer license includes the ability to enter multiple growers into the database.
