Packinghouse Mobility: Total Control of Your Operation (Beyond the Warehouse)

Your Packinghouse isn't just a simple warehouse, it's a high-speed Food Factory. And like any modern factory, if you don't control what happens on the production lines and loading docks, you're burning money.

Many agricultural systems are limited to a basic WMS (where the pallet is). But the real operational challenge happens in transformation and shipping. How much did it really cost to process Lot #504? How many RPCs were lost today? And most critical: Are you sure you loaded the right pallet onto the Walmart truck?

Managing this with paper checklists and manual "work logs" is impossible at current volumes. The solution is Total Floor Mobility: bringing the power of the ERP to the operator's hand via ruggedized tablets and scanners.


1. Production Control: Measuring the Packinghouse Pulse

The paper "Packout Report" is history. With ERPagro Production Apps, line leads record activity in real-time, connecting fruit with the resources used to process it:


Labor Assignment Who works on which line? Time & Cost Control (Packs per Man-Hour).

Dump & Grading Dumping bins (Raw Material) to the line. Culls recording.

Finished Goods Palletizing and PTI Label generation (GTIN/Lot).

The Benefit: You know the exact industrial cost per box processed (Fruit + Packaging + Labor + Energy) the moment the order closes.

2. RPC Management: The Financial Black Hole 💸

Where are my IFCO/Tosca bins?

The industry loses millions of dollars annually in poorly managed RPCs (Reusable Plastic Containers). They are sent to the field and don't return, or get lost in the retailer loop.

The Mobility App manages the container lifecycle as if it were cash:

3. Smart Warehouse & Traceability (Mobile WMS)

Beyond knowing "how much there is", you need to know "where it is" and "where it comes from" without leaving the cooler.

Instant Traceability (FSMA 204)

Scan a box of finished product and the system tells you: "It came from Block 4, harvested on Tuesday, packed on Line 2, and released by QA Manager Smith".

Dynamic Slotting

The forklift driver scans the pallet and then the rack location label (Room A, Aisle 2, Level 3). No more "lost" pallets at the back of the cooler.

4. Shipping App: Eliminate Chargebacks 🚚

The sale isn't over until the truck closes its doors with the correct product. The Shipping App is the final tool used by dock managers to validate the physical load against the Sales Order.

It is the last security filter before the product leaves your control:

Manual Management vs. Integral Mobile Management

Process Traditional Method (Paper/Clipboard) ✍️ Mobile Method (ERPagro) 📲
Production "Tally Sheets" filled by hand Digital capture online (Touchscreen)
RPCs (Tosca/IFCO) Constant and unknown loss Balance control by Crew/Grower
Shipping Blind loading (risk of chargebacks) Scanner validation against order
Traceability Hours searching papers in binders One click (Instant Recall)

Digitize your Packinghouse Floor

Stop guessing what happens in your facility. Control lines, RPCs, and secure your shipments in real-time.
