Run the packaging plant order desk without the back-and-forth
Evos operators take a packaging order from intake through press scheduling, materials, and compliance docs, and run it on your own ERP and proofing tools. The desk is live in 24 hours.

The reality
Every packaging order moves by hand, and the desk only grows by hiring.
A folding carton passes through four to eleven steps before it ships: prepress and proof, print, dry, die-cut, window, glue, pack. The CSR keys the PO, chases a proof approval over email, and confirms the spec against the last run. The scheduler loads presses around substrate on hand and reshuffles the board the moment an ink runs low or a rush job lands. Purchasing places the replenishment PO and follows up to make sure the board arrives before the press needs it. When a retailer requests an SQF or BRC package, someone digs through files for letters of guaranty and food-contact declarations that should already be in one place.
None of this is hard. It is just constant, and it lives in the ERP, the proofing tool, the email thread, and a shared drive at the same time. Add customers, SKUs, and reorders and the only lever anyone has ever had is another CSR, another scheduler, another buyer. The work scales with headcount because no one has ever owned the whole loop end to end.
The operators on the desk.
- 01
01
Customer service & order desk
Takes the PO in, pulls the saved spec for repeat reorders, coordinates the proof approval, and releases the job to production without a chain of confirmation emails.
See the operator−70% of CSR effort on routine order handling
- 02
02
Production planning & scheduling
Sequences the job across press, die-cut, and gluer, allocates substrate to the run, and resequences live when a shortage or rush order hits the board.
See the operator−65% of scheduler time on daily replanning
- 03
03
Purchasing & materials management
Watches substrate, ink, and consumable levels against the schedule and places replenishment POs so a board or color shortage never stops a press mid-run.
See the operator−60% of buyer time on reorder and follow-up
- 04
04
Quality & compliance documentation
Assembles the SQF, BRC, and FDA food-contact package, including letters of guaranty, and keeps it audit-ready before the retailer or auditor asks.

The after
The order-to-ship desk runs itself, and people handle the exceptions.
Orders confirm, presses stay loaded, materials arrive ahead of the run, and the compliance package is ready before the audit. Your team works the judgment calls instead of the routine.
- Repeat reorders confirmed and released to production the same day, no proof round-trip
- Presses sequenced around real substrate and ink levels, with replenishment POs placed before a run stops
- SQF, BRC, and FDA packages assembled and audit-ready on demand
