PROCESSING & PACKAGING COMPANIES
Management software for processing and packaging companies
Krae.OS connects purchasing, raw materials, production, warehouses, inventory, orders, invoicing, and sales from the input to the finished product.
THE CHALLENGE
One company may produce, sell wholesale, and serve retail customers
A packaging business begins with raw materials and supplies, continues through production, and ends in several sales channels. When purchasing, production, inventory, orders, invoicing, and stores run separately, seeing the true position becomes harder.
THE KRAE.OS APPROACH
Keep the whole operation connected
Krae.OS connects purchasing, production, warehouses, orders, and sales so material and finished-product movements belong to one management system.
Take control from the arrival of raw materials
Record supplier purchases and the arrival of raw materials and supplies into the warehouse. Quantities become available in inventory and, where applicable, the purchase contributes to the weighted average cost recalculation.

KRAE.FORGE
Define the materials each product needs
Krae.Forge lets you define production processes relating raw materials, supplies, and packaging materials to a finished product. These processes form the basis for Production Orders.
A packaged mix might combine almonds, walnuts, and other inputs. This example illustrates a process that can also apply to other packaged or processed goods.
Example production process
- ALMONDS + WALNUTS
- OTHER INPUTS
- PROCESS
- FINISHED MIX
Create and execute Production Orders
Starting from a defined process, you can create a Production Order and record its execution, materials used, and result. Each order tracks a specific production run.
From definition to execution
- PROCESS
- PRODUCTION ORDER
- EXECUTION
- FINISHED PRODUCT
CONNECTED INVENTORY
Materials go out and finished products come in automatically
During Production Order execution, Krae.OS manages the warehouse issue of used supplies and materials and the corresponding receipt of finished products.
Production therefore creates the inventory movements reflecting actual consumption and output.
Movements during execution
- INPUTS: − STOCK
- PRODUCTION ORDER
- EXECUTION
- FINISHED: + STOCK
Track both sides of production
Krae.OS lets you view raw-material and supply quantities alongside finished-product quantities in one system. Each category retains its own inventory to support purchasing and sales decisions.
Two connected inventory groups
- RAW MATERIALS / INPUTS
- INVENTORY
- FINISHED PRODUCTS
- INVENTORY
Know where every item is stored
Distribute quantities across multiple warehouses and check stock by warehouse. When goods move, transfers record the origin and destination.
Between warehouses
- WAREHOUSE A
- TRANSFER
- WAREHOUSE B
Keep costs up to date
New purchases recalculate the weighted average cost of inventory items. In production, orders allow comparison of estimated and actual costs for inputs, materials, and operating expenses.
Two cost views
- PURCHASE
- AVERAGE COST
- PRODUCTION ORDER
- ESTIMATED / ACTUAL
WHOLESALE SALES
Manage orders from supermarkets and stores
Record customer orders in Krae.OS and continue the sales workflow to issue the invoice and delivery note when applicable. The documents are prepared in the same system, with user action at each stage.

Send documents directly to customers
Krae.OS can generate invoices as PDFs and send them by email. Delivery notes and their corresponding documents can also be shared by email when part of the transaction.

Configure each point of sale for its workflow
A company can configure different points of sale: one for a retail counter and another for orders, invoices, and delivery notes handled from the back office. Both belong to the same management system.
POINT OF SALE A · COUNTER
- COUNTER
- FAST INVOICING
- RECEIPT
POINT OF SALE B · BACK OFFICE
- ORDER
- INVOICE
- DELIVERY NOTE
Speed up sales in your retail locations
For counter sales, Krae.OS provides a fast invoicing interface designed for barcode scanners and receipt printers. Recorded sales deduct the corresponding units from inventory.
