HiFlow Solutions Showcased Innovation and Industry Insights at Digital Packaging Summit 2024
HiFlow Solutions, a provider of ERP/MIS software for packaging and label converters, made a lasting impression at the Digital Packaging Summit (DPS) 2024. This premier event, hosted by NAPCO Media in collaboration with Packaging Impressions and the PRINTING United Alliance, brought together industry leaders to explore advancements in digital printing, automation, and smart technology.
HiFlow’s presence at DPS included presenting a compelling case study that resonated with the summit's emphasis on leveraging technology for operational growth. Alfonso Hernandez, HiFlow’s VP of Sales, illustrated how the company’s software enables packaging manufacturing to achieve visibility, automation, and efficiency across their operations. The presentation highlighted tangible examples of how HiFlow addresses industry pain points, such as streamlining production workflows, integrating automation, and providing actionable real-time data.
“This summit has provided an unparalleled opportunity for us to engage with industry leaders and address the growing demand for digital transformation in packaging,” said HiFlow CEO Mariusz Sosnowski. “Many attendees shared concerns about their current ERP systems’ limitations and expressed dissatisfaction with other offerings in the market. Our discussions focused on how HiFlow delivers innovative, adaptable solutions to tackle these challenges.”
During the summit, industry leaders provided valuable perspectives on technology trends that align with HiFlow’s mission. Keynote speaker Anthony Papparozzi, chief economist at PRINTING United Alliance, underscored the necessity of company-wide productivity enhancements to sustain growth in 2025 and beyond. His recommendations included automation of processes like billing, estimating, and operations, coupled with the development of robust databases for superior analytics.
Driving technological innovation is a core priority for HiFlow. This theme was reflected in remarks by several equipment manufacturers at the summit. In an interview with NAPCO editors, Mike Barry, national sales manager for digital printing at Domino, emphasized the critical role of technology in managing inventory, tracking logistics, and supporting operational transitions. In addition, Tina Ginger, business development manager for labels and packaging at HP, highlighted the importance of upgradable systems that minimize downtime, a feature closely aligned with HiFlow’s scalable and adaptable ERP offerings.
Conversations with summit attendees revealed a recurring theme: dissatisfaction with outdated systems and frustration with existing ERP providers, many of whom were bought out by larger corporate entities. HiFlow’s solutions stood out as a response to these pain points, offering advanced tools for job costing, productivity enhancement, and department-wide data visibility. HiFlow is US based, independent, and family owned, providing genuinely personalized support and service. Attendees also showed strong interest in HiFlow’s ability to address operational inefficiencies and its alignment with packaging technologies.
HiFlow’s participation at DPS 2024 reinforced its role as a driver of digital transformation in the packaging industry. By focusing on innovation, adaptability, and customer-centric solutions, HiFlow continues to enable manufacturers to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market.
