What is Tetra Pak e-Business?

Tetra Pak e-Business is a one-stop e-shop for our customers to purchase parts, maintenance units, plant components, upgrades and consumables. Accessible the way you want, on any device, anytime and anywhere.

Challenges businesses are facing?

Administration of part products (>330,000) and services orders can be challenging. For example, a large-sized dairy customer generates 100~200 orders with more than 2000~3000 items per-week in parts procurement alone. Other common challenges faced by customers:

wrong information

Insufficient information leads to incorrect products ordered

Placing a parts order the traditional manner can be difficult due to finding the correct information for hundreds or thousands products, leading to incorrect parts or products ordered.

duplicated orders

Duplicated orders

Without a comprehensive track and overview of historic quotation or enquiries, customers often create duplicated POs, resulting in the need for order cancellation or returns.

Complicated processes

Complicated processes

Manual checking or paperwork are always time consuming; they can easily cause delays in creating the PO. Such delays can result in unplanned machine stops and potential losses due to the delay of goods shipment.

No traceability

No traceability

The inability to track goods shipments, especially in the emergency scenarios e.g during a machine breakdown, makes business planning challenging

The hidden cost of non-value added activities in order management

Studies show that more than 80% of operational costs are generated by non-value added activities that are not visible or measurable within organizations. Increasing working efficiency and productivity has become a key area of improvement for many businesses.

VISIBLE COSTS


Administrative costs Premium freight costs Pricing or billing errors 

INVISIBLE COSTS


Extra documentation Time with dissatisfied customers  Unplanned machine stop costs Excess overtime Late paperwork Excess inventory
