Our role in your industry
Klipboard's Role in Plastics & Rubber Products
At Klipboard, we understand that plastics and rubber manufacturing in South Africa and across Africa combines process-driven production with high-volume output and strict quality expectations. Our plastics manufacturing ERP software supports formulation control, batch processing, and consistent quality across injection moulding, extrusion, and compounding operations.
By integrating material management, production planning, and quality control within a single ERP platform, Klipboard helps manufacturers optimise material usage, reduce scrap, and maintain the product consistency customers expect across local and export markets.
The challenges you face
We Understand the Challenges You're Facing
You’re not just producing plastic and rubber products; you’re managing complex formulations, maintaining batch consistency, responding to volatile material costs, and meeting demanding quality requirements. We work with plastics and rubber manufacturers serving industrial, automotive, consumer, and packaging markets, so we understand the challenges you face:
-
Formulation and Recipe Management: Managing precise material formulations, controlling recipe revisions, and ensuring the correct formulation is used every time requires disciplined, system-driven control.
-
Batch Consistency and Quality Control: Customers expect consistent output batch after batch. Tracking process parameters, raw material lots, and test results is essential to maintaining quality standards.
-
Raw Material Price Volatility: Polymer and compound prices fluctuate due to supply conditions and global inputs. Accurate costing depends on current material prices flowing through production and costing processes.
-
Scrap Reduction and Material Yield Tracking: Material costs represent a significant portion of overall product cost. Understanding true yields, managing regrind usage, and reducing waste is critical to margin protection.
We've seen it, we've heard it - and we've built Klipboard Manufacturing to help you take control of it.
