PackStream Flow
Know what comes in. See where waste begins.
A mobile-capture and computer vision platform for mapping goods-inward packaging and material flows. Flow shows what packaging enters site, where it arises in operations and which suppliers contribute most to it.
Who it's for
Single or Multi-site businesses with complex supply chains, high packaging variability and limited visibility of what materials enter and exit each site.
Capabilities
- Mobile capture with on-device computer vision and barcode scanning
- Automated packaging classification across common material and packaging types
- Procurement data matching and supplier attribution
- Practical quantity estimation to support hotspot analysis and reporting
- Dashboards — material volumes, waste hotspots, supplier packaging intensity
- Supplier engagement packs and reporting
- Works with procurement CSV exports from day one — no deep enterprise integration required
How It Works
Staff use a dedicated capture device at goods-in. Each delivery follows a short capture-and-confirm workflow designed for live operational use rather than manual data entry. The system reduces operator effort over time and fits variable supplier and packaging behaviour.
Outcome
Quantify what arises and where. Identify opportunities to design out waste, increase reuse, standardise packaging and consolidate common materials. Build an evidence base for supplier engagement and circular procurement.
