Contract Packing Digitalisation

Food logistics provider Nagel-Group is driving forward the digitalisation of its co-packing activities. With the implementation of Nulogy’s ‘Shop Floor Solution’ at over 50 locations in Europe, the company is optimising its processes and increasing both flexibility and responsiveness along the supply chain.

Following successful test installations at the Eschweiler and Deißlingen sites, Nagel-Group decided to establish Nulogy’s solution as the standard for its entire European co-packing network. The innovative software enables improved operational control over packaging and production processes and helps to increase efficiency throughout the supply chain.

Josephine Coombe, Nulogy’s Chief Commercial Officer for Europe, said: “We’re delighted to be selected by Nagel-Group as their system of record for contract packing, after the successful implementations at two trial sites. As brand customers increasingly seek collaborative and responsive partners to ensure a resilient external supply chain, digitalisation ensures that innovative logistics partners enjoy a significant competitive advantage in the market.”

Founded in 1935, Nagel-Group has a turnover of 2.2 billion euros and 11,000 employees. By standardising on Nulogy, Nagel-Group not only optimises its co-packing activities, but also improves flexibility and traceability – crucial elements in the food supply chain.

“Our partnership with Nulogy is an important step towards the further digitalisation of our service offering,” adds Jens Kleiner, Chief Operating Officer of Nagel-Group. “With its scalability and focus on operational excellence, Nulogy is the ideal partner to support our growth.”

Nulogy also sees the collaboration with Nagel-Group as a significant milestone. “Digitalisation is key to unlocking value added service opportunities across the supply chain and having one, unified platform ensures visibility and flexibility across multiple locations”, says Jason Tham, CEO of Nulogy. “We are thrilled that a leader such as Nagel-Group has chosen Nulogy as its software partner to power its co-packing and value-added services across Europe.”

Michael Lütjann, Chief Information Officer at Nagel-Group, adds: “Digitalisation is a key component of our strategy to provide our customers with excellent logistics solutions. The introduction of the Nulogy platform gives us real-time visibility into workflows, allowing us to make faster and more informed decisions.”

Contract Packing Operations Digitised

Nulogy, a global provider of contract packing software, has been chosen by Prism eLogistics, to digitalise its contract packing and shrink sleeving operations as the growing business focuses on enhancing agility, operational efficiency and quality.

Established in 2020, Prism eLogistics has built a strong reputation in the logistics industry, particularly within the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector. Its expertise spans a wide range of products including beverages, cosmetics, personal care items, alcohol, and nutritional products, with services including shrink sleeving, storage, distribution, ecommerce, and secondary contract packing.

Operating from its headquarters in Basingstoke where shrink sleeving, fulfilment, contract packing, and remediation services have become a growing part of its offerings, Prism eLogistics sought to scale its business, eliminate paperwork, and enhance collaboration with brand customers through digitalisation.

Having previously relied on software tailored for ecommerce, which lacked functionality designed for the specific demands of its contract packing workflow, the team recognised the need for a system that was purpose-built for the growing co-packing area of their operations. Nulogy’s Shop Floor Solution emerged as the perfect fit and has been selected to optimise the company’s co-packing operations and drive efficiency and profitability.

“Digitalising our processes is a key component of our growth strategy,” said Ian Wright, Sales Director at Prism eLogistics (UK) Ltd. “In the co-packing industry, where accuracy and efficiency are crucial, partnering with Nulogy will give us the real-time data and insights necessary to streamline operations, control costs, and improve our service quality. This solution is essential for supporting our current expansion and for positioning us to meet future demands, ensuring we continue to drive growth and deliver exceptional value to brand customers.”

The Nulogy system digitalises the end-to-end contract packing workflow from estimating and planning jobs, to managing materials and inventory on the line, and optimising labour allocation. The system will also facilitate improved quality inspections, and efficient product recall processes with accurate batch tracking at the touch of a button. This enhanced recall readiness is essential when working with FMCG brands, allowing for rapid resolution of product issues and ensuring regulatory compliance. Implementation of the software will take place in the fourth quarter.

In line with its growth strategy, Prism eLogistics will also soon receive delivery of its second high-speed sleeving line and move to new larger premises, while still operating across its existing sites. Nulogy will ensure full control and visibility across all its locations, fully supporting the company’s expansion plans. These significant investments have been made possible due to the continued support of Prism eLogistics’ parent company, Spearpoint Security Group Pte Ltd, based in Singapore.

Commenting on the investment, Paul Mitchell, Managing Director at Prism eLogistics (UK) Ltd, said, “The backing of Spearpoint Security Group has been instrumental in enabling us to make these significant advancements, positioning us for sustained growth and success in the highly competitive logistics and sleeving sectors.”

Josephine Coombe, Chief Commercial Officer, Europe, at Nulogy, concluded, “Forward-thinking companies like Prism eLogistics understand the importance of specialised digital solutions for managing their contract packing operations. Being ‘Powered by Nulogy’ gives co-packers a competitive edge by enabling superior service quality, improved throughput and traceability, and greater customer responsiveness. We look forward to supporting Prism eLogistics in improving operational efficiency, serving their brand customers more effectively, and supporting their growth in the market.”
