FAQ

What is the value of Alpega’s Reusable Packaging Management for your business?

Alpega RPM provides a single software platform to track and manage costly packaging assets. With a control tower view of reusable packaging, you can improve stock forecasting, reduce costs, and easily coordinate with production partners responsible for late or incomplete packaging returns. Reusable Packaging Management is also a sustainable solution, designed to drive circular economies.

Does Alpega’s packaging scheduling function operate on the “push/pull” principle?

Yes. With automated delivery rules, Alpega’s RPM “pushes” when scheduling demand and delegating orders. The solution applies the "pull" principle when users set up rules for packaging orders.

What are some of the key capabilities of Alpega’s Reusable Packaging Management solution?

Alpega’s RPM offers a single platform to manage packaging stock, packaging scheduling, serialized packaging, packaging fee settlement and packaging demand planning. The Reusable Packaging Management solution also streamlines processes such as document management, master data management and bundles management.

Is Reusable Packaging Management environmentally sustainable?

Yes. Alpega’s RPM is both environmentally friendly and cost-efficient. The solution can reduce GHGs, as it replaces the need for so much packaging material, energy and labor. Furthermore, since repeated use design implies more durable packaging, the Reusable Packaging Management solution reduces the risks of damaged and lost goods.
