Identifying High-Margin Jobs vs. Loss-Making Orders: Why Corrugation Manufacturers Need Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

In the corrugation industry, every order matters – but not every order makes money. Some bring healthy profits, while others silently erode margins. The problem is that most manufacturers only realize the difference after the job is done, when it’s already too late.

Whether you operate a manual plant, a semi-automated unit, or a fully automated corrugation line, the challenges are the same:

Job costing riddled with inaccuracies
Departments working in silos
Rising kraft paper costs cutting margins
Lack of real-time visibility into high- vs low-margin jobs

This is where SB Infotech’s CorrEx ERP, built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, changes the equation.

The Cost of Running Without an Industry-Specific ERP

Inaccurate Job Costing Leads to Wrong Pricing

Manual entries or outdated systems make it nearly impossible to calculate real costs—raw material, labor, wastage, machine time. The result? Underquoting that creates losses or overquoting that costs you customers.

Wastage Eats Into Margins

With kraft paper accounting for 60–70% of production costs, poor deckle planning and unoptimized rolls directly drain profitability. Even a few percent of wastage can mean lakhs lost each year.

Missed Opportunities in High-Margin Orders

Without real-time data, manufacturers can’t distinguish between profitable and loss-making jobs until much later, missing the chance to focus resources where it truly pays off.

No Single Source of Truth

Sales, production, and finance run in isolation. Without an integrated corrugated box ERP, decision-making is reactive, slow, and often inaccurate.
