Your factory is busy.But is it profitable?
zappy.day builds technology for manufacturers, so you waste less, deliver on time, collect payments faster and win more business. From the first enquiry to the final dispatch, in one place, in your language.
We know your shop floor. Stage by stage.
Pick your industry and walk through a working factory. See where money leaks at every stage, and what changes with zappy.day.
Paper reels & raw material
Where money leaks: Register says 40 reels of 120 GSM, the godown has 32. Wrong GSM or BF gets loaded to keep the corrugator running, and quality or margin takes the hit.
With zappy.day: Every reel is barcoded with GSM, BF, deckle, weight and supplier. Stock is reel-wise and live, consumption is posted per job, and reorder alerts come before the stand is empty.
Corrugation
Where money leaks: Wrong deckle choice, splices, warp and set-up changes create trim and process waste. It is rarely measured by shift, so nobody knows the true number.
With zappy.day: Deckle planning picks the reel width that wastes least for the day's jobs. Trim and process wastage are entered per shift on mobile, and the owner sees it the same evening.
Slitting, scoring & sheet cutting
Where money leaks: Over-production "just in case", miscounts and sheets cut to the wrong size for the next stage.
With zappy.day: Job card with exact sheet size and quantity, with produced vs planned shown live. Extra sheets go to stock and are offered on the next matching order.
Flexo printing
Where money leaks: Long make-ready, ink wastage, colour mismatch and rejection because the approved artwork version was not at the machine.
With zappy.day: Artwork version, plate and ink details stay on the job card. First-piece approval is recorded with a photo, and make-ready time is tracked by job.
Slotting & die-cutting
Where money leaks: The die can't be found or is damaged, set-up takes too long, and the machine waits for the next job card.
With zappy.day: A die register with location and condition. The machine-wise job queue is planned so the next job, die and sheets are ready before the current one ends.
Folding & gluing
Where money leaks: Glue failures found at the customer, wrong bundle counts and boxes that are not tracked against the order.
With zappy.day: Output per job entered at the machine, with bundle counts and labels printed from the system, so dispatch knows exactly what is ready.
Quality check
Where money leaks: Tests aren't recorded, so when a customer complains there's no proof of what was supplied, and the debit note is accepted.
With zappy.day: QC results are recorded against each job and batch. A test report can be shared with the customer in one click, and repeat failures show up in reports.
Dispatch & collection
Where money leaks: Half-empty trucks, no proof of delivery, invoices sent late, and payments that drift to 90 to 120 days.
With zappy.day: Dispatch plan with documents generated together and proof of delivery captured on mobile. Invoices go out the same day, and automatic payment reminders follow on WhatsApp.
Design & bill of materials
Where money leaks: BOMs live in Excel. Revisions are not shared with purchase and the shop floor, so the wrong version gets made or bought.
With zappy.day: Machine-wise BOM with versions, linked to the sales order. Changes flow to purchase and production automatically.
Stores & purchase
Where money leaks: One long-lead part is noticed late, and a 95% complete machine waits weeks. Meanwhile stock that isn't needed piles up.
With zappy.day: A shortage list is generated from the BOM against stock and open POs, so long-lead items are ordered on day one. Parts are issued against each machine.
Machining
Where money leaks: Jobs are picked by whoever shouts loudest. Machine hours per part are unknown, so outsourcing decisions are guesswork.
With zappy.day: Job cards per part and operation, with planned vs actual time. A machine-wise load view shows what to make in-house and what to outsource.
Fabrication & welding
Where money leaks: Steel consumption and labour hours per frame aren't tracked, so project cost overruns stay hidden.
With zappy.day: Material issued against each machine, and labour hours captured by job, giving project cost as it happens, not after delivery.
Assembly
Where money leaks: Nobody can say exactly how far each machine has progressed. Customers keep calling, and the delivery date keeps moving.
With zappy.day: A stage-wise assembly checklist for each machine, with progress visible to the owner and sales. Delays are flagged with a reason.
Testing & trial
Where money leaks: Test records are on paper, and punch-list items are forgotten until the customer finds them on site.
With zappy.day: A test checklist and punch list per machine, with sign-off before dispatch. The record stays linked to the machine's serial number.
Dispatch & milestone billing
Where money leaks: Milestone invoices are raised late or forgotten. Cash is stuck while the next machines are being financed.
With zappy.day: Milestones are linked to project stages: when a stage closes, the invoice is ready and reminders go out automatically.
Drawing & customer approval
Where money leaks: Approvals come as a thumbs-up on WhatsApp. Later nobody is sure which version was approved, and the wrong one gets made.
With zappy.day: Drawing versions are saved with the job. The approval is recorded against a specific version, date and person, and production can only start on the approved one.
Laser cutting the board
Where money leaks: The laser runs whatever comes first. Rush jobs jump the queue, and promised times are guesses.
With zappy.day: A laser job queue with estimated cutting time per job, so delivery promises are based on the real load.
Rule bending
Where money leaks: Rule consumption per die isn't known, so job cost is underestimated and offcuts pile up.
With zappy.day: Rule metres used are logged per job, along with consumables, so each die is costed properly.
Rule fixing
Where money leaks: Everyone works on everything. Nobody can see which job is at which stage, so every customer call becomes urgent.
With zappy.day: Stage tracking (design, laser, bending, fixing, rubbering, trial) for every job on one screen.
Rubbering
Where money leaks: Rubber of the wrong hardness, and rubber stock that is never counted until it runs out.
With zappy.day: Rubber and board stock tracked with minimum levels, and the material spec saved on each job.
Trial cut & QC
Where money leaks: Problems are found at the customer's machine, and the die comes back for rework.
With zappy.day: A trial result with photo is recorded per die, and the customer is notified automatically when it is ready.
Delivery & repeat orders
Where money leaks: Old die details are hard to find, so repeat dies are redone from scratch, and many small invoices stay unpaid.
With zappy.day: A searchable die library by customer and box, with outstanding by customer and polite automatic reminders.
Raw material store
Where money leaks: Stock is counted by eye, so material runs out mid-batch or is over-bought when prices are high.
With zappy.day: Material stock with minimum levels and supplier-wise rates. Consumption is posted automatically from each batch.
Batch weighing
Where money leaks: Formulas sit in one person's notebook. Small weighing errors change the product, and batch cost isn't known.
With zappy.day: Controlled formulas by grade, with batch sheets printed from the system and actual weights recorded. Batch cost uses current material rates.
Cooking & mixing
Where money leaks: Time and temperature aren't logged, so when a batch behaves differently nobody can tell why.
With zappy.day: Batch log with start, end, temperature readings and operator. Every batch gets a number that follows it to the customer.
Viscosity & lab check
Where money leaks: Results stay in a lab register, and an out-of-range batch can still be filled and dispatched.
With zappy.day: Lab results are entered per batch, and filling is allowed only after the batch passes. Trends show drift before complaints start.
Filling & labelling
Where money leaks: Containers aren't linked to the batch, filled quantity isn't reconciled, and returnable drums go missing.
With zappy.day: Labels with batch codes printed from the system and filled quantity reconciled against the batch. Returnable containers are tracked by customer.
Dealer dispatch & credit
Where money leaks: Material keeps going to dealers who haven't paid the last three bills, and cash gets stuck in the market.
With zappy.day: Dealer credit limits with an automatic dispatch hold, scheduled payment reminders on WhatsApp, and dealer-wise outstanding on the owner's phone.
Raw material
Where money leaks: Stock mismatch, over-buying and stock-outs that stop production.
With zappy.day: Location-wise stock, issues against each work order, and reorder alerts.
Machining & processing
Where money leaks: Idle machines, unplanned breakdowns and scrap that is never measured.
With zappy.day: Machine-wise plans, downtime reasons and scrap captured on mobile, with utilisation shown daily.
Assembly
Where money leaks: Missing parts stop the line, and work-in-progress is invisible.
With zappy.day: Work orders with part availability checked in advance and WIP visible by stage.
Quality check
Where money leaks: Rejections are found by the customer, and there are no records to find the cause.
With zappy.day: Inspection results per batch, with rejection reasons and trends.
Packing & dispatch
Where money leaks: Late dispatch, missing documents and slow collections.
With zappy.day: Dispatch planning, same-day invoices and automatic payment reminders.
The problems every factory owner knows. And how we fix them.
We have heard these on hundreds of shop floors. Tap or hover a card to see what changes.
Wastage you can't see
Material goes into the dustbin every shift, but nobody can say which machine, which order or how much.
See the fixWastage measured job by job and shift by shift, on mobile. The leak is visible the same day, with a name against it.
With zappy.daySame problems, every week
Machine stops, wrong material, late order. Fixed today, back again next week.
See the fixAlerts reach the right person instantly, and reports show the pattern, so the root cause is fixed once.
With zappy.dayBusy, but is it profitable?
Orders are full, yet money is tight. Profit is known only when the CA closes the books.
See the fixReal margin per order and per customer, every day. Re-price the jobs that lose money.
With zappy.daySame three customers
Most sales still depend on a few old buyers. One lost account hurts badly.
See the fixGrowthAgent finds new buyers for what you make and reaches out with personal, relevant messages.
With zappy.dayEnquiries go cold

See the fixMachine-wise plans and job cards everyone can see, with material checked before the job starts.
With zappy.dayMachines waiting
Machines stand idle for material, approvals or the next job card.
See the fixUtilisation and idle reasons tracked, so more production comes from the same machines and people.
With zappy.dayMoney stuck outside
Customers pay in 90 to 120 days. You pay suppliers in 30. The bank limit is always full.
See the fixOutstanding by customer, credit limits and automatic reminders. Cash comes in sooner.

Every project starts with one question: where is this factory losing money or time? Then we fix that first, and measure it.
Every rupee accounted for
Less wastage, correct pricing, lower freight and less interest on blocked money.
Problems caught early
Stock-outs, delays, quality slips and safety risks flagged before they become losses.
A factory that runs on system
Clear roles, clear approvals, daily reports. Less shouting, less dependence on one person.
New buyers, better customers
Every enquiry followed up, new buyers found, and time freed to grow.
How much is your factory quietly losing?
Move the sliders. We use conservative assumptions, because a real number you can trust is worth more than a big number you can't.
How we calculate: 20% of your current wastage recovered (max 2 points), 0.5% of sales from accurate costing, 8% saving on freight (taken as 3% of sales), and 15% faster collections above 30 days at 10% cost of money. We keep it conservative on purpose. More business from new buyers is not included.
Real factory problems. Practical fixes.
Situations we see again and again in Indian factories, and what changes when they are fixed.
A 5-ply box plant losing lakhs to wastage nobody could see
With paper at roughly two-thirds of cost, every 1% of extra wastage on a ₹25 Cr plant means about ₹16 lakh a year lost.
Read the storyQuoting on old paper rates and losing margin on every new order
A 3–4% margin slip on even half the order book of a ₹12 Cr plant is ₹18–24 lakh a year.

Straight answers.
What is zappy.day?
zappy.day is a manufacturing technology platform by Next Page Technologies, Hyderabad. It combines an ERP built for corrugated box and packaging factories with B2B lead generation (GrowthAgent), a logistics planner, workflow automation, business analytics, practical AI and CCTV-based safety and defect detection. It helps manufacturers reduce wastage, control costs, deliver on time, collect payments faster and get more buyers.
Which manufacturers do you work with?
Corrugated box manufacturers, packaging machinery manufacturers, die makers and die-cutting units, and gum and adhesive manufacturers are our core focus. We also work with other packaging businesses (mono cartons, printing and converting, flexible packaging, labels, paper) and with manufacturers outside packaging such as engineering, plastics, food processing, chemicals and textiles.
We are not tech people. Will my team be able to use it?
Yes. Screens are simple and built for supervisors, store keepers and operators, not IT people. Most daily entries are done on a mobile phone. We train your team on the floor, in the language they are comfortable with, and stay with you until the system is part of the routine.
How long does it take to go live?
It depends on what you start with. A single area like box costing, an owner dashboard or payment reminders can go live in 2–4 weeks. A full ERP from sales to dispatch typically takes 6–12 weeks, done in phases so the factory never stops.
How much does it cost?
It depends on your factory size, number of users and which modules you need. We first understand where your factory is losing money, then propose a plan where the expected savings are clearly larger than the cost. Talk to us for a quote specific to your factory.
Do we have to replace Tally or our current software?
Not necessarily. Many factories keep their accounting software and use zappy.day for everything that happens before and after the invoice: costing, stock, production, wastage, dispatch and collections. We check what you use today and recommend the simplest route.
Let's find where your factory is losing money.
A short call or a factory visit. We listen first, show you the numbers, and suggest one practical place to start. No obligation.
