Madiwor

Built for label printers and flexible packaging converters, Madiwor is a cloud management information system. The company describes it as built from the ground up for label converters and narrow web printers, so that they can plan work, price jobs and use their data to grow profitably. It is integrated with Zoho. The company also offers guided implementation by people with experience of the label industry, so a customer does not need an in-house technical team to get started.

Estimating and quoting labels

Price calculations are built from the substrates, print processes, finishing operations and wastage that apply to each job, all within one formula. Estimates can be stored, compared and analyzed against previous estimates and similar pricing strategies. Alternatives can be laid side by side to find the best option for a customer. Quotes are produced as professional documents, with approval workflows and digital signatures.

Production planning on the floor

Press jobs can be scheduled and assigned to machines, and the production floor is tracked with daily reports and real-time monitoring. Production orders can be browsed and planned on each machine, then shared with the team. The system is designed for narrow web and wide web converters, and it is meant to save time and money on the scheduling work that is usually done by hand.

Rolls, cuts and raw material

Materials and inventory are managed through the complete production process. Jumbo rolls can be assigned to production orders and cut to the size each order needs, with cuts tracked from roll to job. Rolls can also be assigned to stock. The company says this reduces scrap and automates the tracking of raw material use.

Customer portals and reordering

B2B storefronts give brand-owner customers direct access to their orders and product specifications, and let them check order status and browse order history. Through the extranet, clients can reorder and send pricing requests. The company presents the extranet as a way to build customer loyalty.

Cloud access and reporting

The system runs in the cloud, so there are no servers to maintain and the team can reach production, estimating and inventory data from any device. Real-time dashboards and operational reports show margins, press productivity and delivery performance. The company says it is designed to be used on any device and that its upgrades and data safeguarding are handled as part of the service.
