Plastic crates, reusable pallets, and returnable containers move constantly between the plant, loading bay, salesman stock, and customer premises. Without crate inventory software, units disappear, disputes rise, and cash is locked in lost packaging.
Why spreadsheet crate tracking fails
- No barcode link between dispatch slip and physical crate
- Salesman and godown stock diverge by the end of the week
- Customers dispute empty-crate returns with no audit trail
- Plant managers cannot answer “how many crates are with route X?” in seconds
What good factory inventory software must do
- Barcode / QR scanning on issue, return, and transfer.
- Three-way stock views — company, salesman, and customer balances.
- Mobile-first capture so field teams do not wait for a desktop PC.
- Thermal or PDF slips for deliveries and empty-crate returns.
- Local deployment options when plants prefer data on-site.
How Crate Track helps
Crate Track from KC Softwares (Nalagarh) is built for Indian manufacturing and distribution routes. It combines barcode scanning, salesman Android workflows, and printable slips so every movement is recorded.
- Company / salesman / customer stock positions
- Barcode and mobile intake for field teams
- Thermal / PDF packing and return slips
- Support from a local Himachal team with pan-India project experience
