EnCore ERP
ERP Software Built for Predictable Production to Run Your Plant
EnCore ERP is purpose-built for corrugated sheet plants, box plants, and folding carton operations that need tighter control over schedule stability, throughput, waste, and margin without running the plant on spreadsheets and disconnected systems.
This isn’t a reporting layer or a set of bolt-ons. EnCore connects estimating → order management → scheduling → shop-floor execution → inventory → shipping → financials in one operational system, so production decisions stay aligned to business outcomes.
When Your Plant Runs on One System, You Get
- Fewer schedule surprises and faster rescheduling when priorities change
- Real-time production visibility what’s running, what’s down, what’s behind by machine/shift
- Waste accountability you can act on, including ghost waste that never makes it into the system
- Trustworthy job cost and margin tied to what actually happened on the floor
One System Across the Full Job Lifecycle
EnCore manages each stage of the job within the same environment, so your teams aren’t chasing updates across spreadsheets, disconnected modules, and manual re-entry.
Quotes convert into orders without re-entry
Orders flow directly into scheduling
Production updates are captured from the floor and reflected in real time
Shipping and financials reflect actual operational activity
The result
Improved OTIF, schedule adherence, inventory accuracy, and margin visibility, without adding complexity.
This creates a connected packaging production management software environment with built-in packaging workflow automation software capabilities.
Built Around Packaging Plant Realities
EnCore reflects how corrugated and folding carton work actually moves through the plant, not generic manufacturing workflows.
With Encore ERP you are gaining real-time production visibility and execution control:
Corrugator + converting logic built into scheduling
Scheduling that supports manual and automated scheduling, weighted rules, and continuous improvement from actual run performance
Real-time production visibility that eliminates manual data entry and shows performance against targets on floor displays
Waste accountability that measures scrap physically, helps identify ghost waste, and reports waste in dollars
Estimating and costing built for packaging, including contribution vs. full margin views and what-if analysis
Inventory and material control designed for plant reality, including barcode scanning, multi-warehouse/bin tracking, and roll stock analysis
This is designed for how operations runs the plant, hour by hour, shift by shift, not just how data gets stored.
What Changes for Your Plant When Everything Runs on One System
Operations teams don’t need more data. They need better control.
Scheduling is no longer reactive.
Cost visibility is no longer delayed.
Waste is no longer a mystery
Healthy accountability occurs when teams can see targets vs. actuals in real time
Production is no longer disconnected from financial impact.
Teams spend less time reconciling systems and more time improving throughput, quality, and on-time delivery.
These insights act as packaging industry business intelligence software, helping teams make faster, more informed decisions.
The Core That Everything Connects To
EnCore acts as the central system across operations.
- Estimating and quoting feed directly into production planning
- Orders move through scheduling without manual intervention
- Inventory and purchasing stay aligned with production demand
- Shop floor activity becomes real-time operational truth
- Financials reflect real operational activity in real time
It becomes the single point where data, decisions and execution meet, so you can run the plant with confidence. It functions as one of the most complete packaging ERP systems within modern manufacturing ERP software environments.
Core Modules
EnCore brings every critical function of your packaging operation into one connected environment, helping teams work from the same data, make faster decisions and maintain greater control from quote to cash.
Estimating and Quoting
Create accurate estimates using packaging-specific costing models, material assumptions and margin analysis. Turn quotes into production-ready orders without duplicate data entry.
Order Processing
Manage customer orders efficiently with streamlined workflows that connect sales, scheduling, production and shipping. Keep order information accurate and visible throughout the process.
Production and Scheduling
Plan, schedule and monitor production with real-time visibility into machine performance, capacity and job progress. Improve throughput while maintaining schedule stability and delivery commitments.
Quality
Track quality issues, corrective actions, inspections and compliance activities in one centralized system. Reduce recurring problems and drive continuous operational improvement.
Inventory Management
Maintain accurate visibility of raw materials, WIP and finished goods with barcode-enabled tracking and inventory controls. Align inventory levels with production demand and customer requirements.
Purchasing
Simplify procurement by connecting purchasing activities directly to inventory requirements and production schedules. Improve supplier coordination while maintaining material availability.
Accounting
Connect financial management with real-time operational activity to improve cost visibility, profitability analysis and financial accuracy. Gain a clearer understanding of business performance as it happens.
Supporting Modules and Integrations
EnCore is supported by a broader ecosystem that expands its role across the plant.
Improve Schedule Stability and Delivery Confidence
Advanced Planning Board (APB)
Balance due dates, resources, constraints, and plant priorities with manual + automated scheduling, and improve over time using actual run performance.
Create Real-Time Visibility and Shift Accountability
ScoreKeeper
Automated shop-floor data capture with visual floor displays that show target vs. actual by machine and shift, driving faster response, stronger accountability, and less manual reporting.
Turn Waste into a Managed Metric (in Dollars, Not Guesses)
ScrapTrakker
Measure scrap physically, expose ghost waste, and report waste in dollars by machine/shift/operator so actions are clear and measurable.
Tighten Shipping Execution and Route Efficiency
Advanced Shipment Planning
Plan loads, routes, and deliveries with logistics execution tied directly to production output so shipping stays aligned with what the plant actually produces.
Connect EnCore to Your Plant Ecosystem (Without Rekeying)
Amtech API
Integrate EnCore with the systems you already use, design/CAD, delivery tools, POD, and financial systems. Common integrations include QuickBooks, SAP, and JD Edwards.
Reduce Repeat Issues and Close the Loop on Quality
Quality Management
Built-in quality workflows (issue tracking, corrective actions, and follow-up) so problems don’t repeat and accountability is documented end-to-end.
These modules let you expand EnCore at your pace, stabilize first, then optimize, without creating a patchwork of disconnected systems.
Adoption Across Packaging Operations
EnCore supports 60,000+ users across 750+ plants, operating in high-volume, high-complexity environments.
EnCore isn’t just a reporting tool, it’s the system that drives daily production and business operations.
If the System Runs the Plant, It Has to Be Right
EnCore is designed to be that system.
It brings together the functions required to run corrugated and folding carton operations, bringing consistency across planning, production execution, inventory, quality, shipping, and financial management.
Customers consistently call out a difference that matters when you’re running a plant: responsive support, multiple support channels, and training from Amtech Academy, so adoption sticks and improvement continues.
