Corrugated Packaging is a wide-reaching industry and process as just about any company you can think of uses boxes to either send products, receive products, or both. However, many organizations are unaware of where their spend resides across the myriad of products they ship or receive annually. Anteris Consulting Group, however, addressed this by identifying the need for market disruption against overspend on packaging.

Improve operational processes such as fraud detection, sales campaign execution, customer order processing, purchasing, and/or accounts payable processing so that the business can increase revenues,reduce costs or both. |
