Here's what our customers think of the ePIMS app:

“I was surprised to see Tetra Pak offer a mobile app that not only will help us manage our own parts inventory, but even the inventory for all of our other parts suppliers and for other equipment. This means I can manage my entire production plant’s parts inventory from a single source and also track the consumption cost. This is how you add value!”


– Dairy producer Namibia Dairies, Namibia


“Since installing the ePIMS app, I have not used the web application. I am very happy with the result.”


– Dairy producer Sancor, Argentina


“The app works perfectly.
I love it! It makes things much easier and more convenient – such as picking a single part or a list of parts at the same time.”
