Tempo Plastics, delo and NSD have recently installed HYBRID Software products in their facilities, joining other HYBRID Software customers—users who work with more than 3,500 PACKZ licenses and 850 CLOUDFLOW installations on a daily basis. “As can be seen with our three latest HYBRID Software customers, there are many diverse reasons why companies choose to work with us,” says Guido Van der Schueren, Chairman, HYBRID Software. “That said, they all share one desire: a need to work with a company that is willing to become more than a vendor—but a partner.”

Customized tracking systems at Tempo Plastics Limited Tempo Plastics Limited, based in Innisfil, Ontario Canada and celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, manufactures over one million packages every day. A manufacturer of flexographic printed flexible packaging, Tempo Plastics produces pouches, polybags, and rollstock solutions for a wide range of markets. Most recently, they have launched an environmental product line focusing on recyclable flexible pouches and rollstock. HYBRID Software and Tempo Plastic Limited’s work together began when they were looking for an innovative software supplier to develop and integrate a solution to connect to their production systems as well as all their job stakeholders. More specifically, they needed a customizable online system to manage external approvals and to track internal production processes. “Like many companies in the labels and packaging market, Tempo Plastics faced challenges that sometimes cannot be resolved with out-of-the box solutions,” explains Dino Loiselle, HYBRID Sales Manager for Canada. “Because of the nature of their business, Tempo Plastics’ specific processes, methodologies and existing systems were supplied by a number of different manufacturers.” “In order for us to be successful, it was crucial that our proposed solution could be integrated in the shortest period of time possible—and at a price that would generate a substantial return on investment for Tempo Plastics,” remarks Mike Agness, Executive Vice President of HYBRID Software for the Americas. “We created a CLOUDFLOW configuration for Tempo Plastics that delivers exactly that, providing a hybrid platform which leverages market standard file formats and customizable interfaces. It efficiently connects people to their systems.”
