Introducing the Packing Module in Garment IO

Introducing the Packing Module in Garment IO

Overview

We are proud to introduce the Packing Module — a new addition to the Garment IO Production System designed to help factories organize and monitor the final step of production with better accuracy, accountability, and visibility.

The Packing Module aims to give factories a clear understanding of:

  • How many boxes were packed

  • Who packed them


Why the Packing Module Is Important

Packing is the final checkpoint before finished products are shipped to customers.
It affects:

  • Delivery accuracy — ensuring each box matches the client’s packing rules.

  • Traceability — knowing exactly who packed what and when.

  • Accountability — holding workers responsible for errors or shortages.

  • Productivity analysis — identifying bottlenecks and improving efficiency in the packing section.

Until now, most factories relied on manual tracking or Excel sheets to manage packing.
The Garment IO Packing Module automates this process — making packing visible, trackable, and auditable directly from the production system.


Tracking Packed Boxes

The module focuses on recording the number of boxes packed and by whom.

Key highlights:

  • It tracks packing only when a box is completed and closed.

  • It helps production management verify that the right quantities, assortments, and users are recorded for every box.

This foundation ensures that all factories can start gathering accurate packing data before moving into detailed performance tracking.


Articles

To help you get started, Packing module is divided into three user-specific articles:

  1. Workstation Types & Setup: https://garmentio.zohodesk.com/portal/en/kb/articles/packing-module-phase-1-introducing-workstations
    Audience: System Admins, Line Supervisors, and Production Managers
    Learn how to define packing stations (workstations) and organize them across sections.

  2. Packing Rules & Assortments: https://garmentio.zohodesk.com/portal/en/kb/articles/packing-module-phase-1-introducing-packing-rules
    Audience: Industrial Engineers with the Planning Department
    Learn how to create packing rules and define the color–size matrix for each production order.

  3. Packer Tablet: https://garmentio.zohodesk.com/portal/en/kb/articles/packing-module-phase-1-packer-tablet
    Audience: Packers
    Learn how to use the tablet to view ready orders, follow packing rules, and close boxes correctly.

(Note: The fourth article about Packing Reports is still under development.)
In the near future, managers will be able to:

  • Monitor packing progress from the Order Report

  • Export Packing Lists directly from the system


We welcome your feedback and suggestions to shape the next generation of packing solutions.
