Adpack Nairobi invests in Flexibiz ERP to drive efficiency, transparency and sustainable growth

KENYA – Adpack Limited, one of East Africa’s leading manufacturers of woven polypropylene sacks and FIBC jumbo bags, has implemented the Flexibiz ERP system from India-based Kiran Consultants to strengthen operational efficiency, data transparency and enterprise-wide decision-making.

Incorporated in 2012, Adpack serves multiple sectors including agriculture, fertiliser, sugar, coffee, food, animal feed and industrial products, producing millions of bags every month from its Nairobi facility.

The move to adopt Flexibiz ERP reflects the company’s broader digital transformation strategy as it continues to expand regionally.

“Our main objectives were to improve transparency across departments, strengthen data accuracy, and build a single source of truth for decision-making,” said Saheel Shah, Director at Adpack Limited.

“We also wanted to streamline production planning, reduce waste, and enhance accountability across our supply chain.”

The integrated ERP system covers key operational functions, finance and accounting, inventory management, production, quality control, and sales and dispatch.

Custom dashboards allow Adpack to track key performance indicators such as waste percentages, output efficiency, and contribution margin per kilo.

The system is also connected to machine-level production reporting and weight-scale data, ensuring traceability from raw materials to final delivery.

According to Shah, the implementation took around six months, followed by three months of fine-tuning and staff training.

“Initially, there was resistance due to new workflows, but adoption has steadily improved as employees experience the benefits of reduced duplication and faster reporting,” he said.

Adpack opted for a hybrid hosting model, core servers hosted securely but accessible via the cloud, to ensure flexibility, redundancy, and robust data protection.

The company continues to receive dedicated support from Kiran Consultants, including upgrades, training and customization services.

Kiran Consultants’ Director Gaurav Bansal welcomed Adpack’s success, noting that Flexibiz ERP is gaining global traction.

“We are happy that our Make in India Flexibiz ERP software for the printing and packaging industry is gaining international recognition,” he said.

“We currently have ongoing implementations in West Africa and the Middle East, and we’ll be showcasing the software at Plastindia Expo 2026 in New Delhi.”

The software’s newly revamped interface also integrates AI features to assess departmental performance monthly and guide improvements, reflecting the company’s commitment to innovation.

Combined with investments in solar infrastructure, modern extrusion and printing equipment, and innovations such as GrainGard insect-control packaging, Adpack’s ERP adoption marks a major step in reinforcing operational excellence, sustainability, and competitiveness in East Africa’s packaging industry.
