Bobst has announced a strategic partnership with the French company Packitoo, which develops digital solutions for the packaging industry, including the HIPE software solution, a web-based distribution solution customised for the packaging industry.
HIPE automates the preparation of quotations, manages packaging projects and supports web-to-pack online shops of packaging printers and manufacturers. The new software solution enables packaging manufacturers to meet the most important challenges in the market: increasing individualisation and personalisation, smaller order sizes and shorter delivery times. With HIPE, packaging manufacturers can implement personalised sales processes that allow them to provide customers with accurate quotations within a short space of time, taking into account all cost factors such as the machines used.
At the same time, they can network HIPE with prepress solutions from leading software providers such as ESKO. Strategic collaboration with these providers brings real added value for packaging manufacturers, as these solutions are integrated into various web platforms. In addition, HIPE enables the realisation of web-to-pack websites on which quotations can be generated quickly and automatically and through which more orders can be processed with minimum effort.
„With this strategic move, we are strengthening our vision of a digital future for the packaging industry, in which data and software are key factors for higher productivity and efficiency as well as improved sustainability. Packitoo's software fits perfectly into our vision. It enables a new form of collaboration and is a valuable solution for our customers to automate and optimise their sales processes.“
Jean-Pascal Bobst, CEO BOBST
The partnership will enable Bobst to offer customised solutions to packaging printers and manufacturers, enabling them to improve their packaging quality. Optimise sales processes, reduce your costs and increase your sales can. Packitoo, in turn, will benefit from Bobst's global presence, extensive practical experience and network, enabling it to reach new markets and customers.
„This partnership and investment opens up great opportunities for us to utilise Bobst's resources, practical knowledge and network to expand our business and open up new markets. We share Bobst's vision of a digital transformation of the packaging industry, where software and data are the key drivers of innovation and value creation. We are convinced that our software will bring significant benefits to packaging printers and manufacturers and the packaging industry as a whole.“
