the reality

Every changeover is a cost the report finds too late

Packaging lines switch between formats, SKUs, and customers all shift long, and demand spikes with the retail and promotional calendars they serve. Each changeover and short run moves labor, yield, and overhead in ways a static standard never captured.

The cost of all that motion shows up at close, in a variance report that is exact and weeks too late to change the runs it describes.

what jetson does

Reconcile, dollarize, and explain performance in real time

Reconcile

Numbers you can trust. Jetson pulls labor, production, and cost data from the systems you already run and ties them out automatically, so Finance and Operations work from one set of figures instead of comparing exports.

Dollarize

Variances in dollars. Every gap across labor, yield, scrap, and overhead is translated into margin impact, so site performance is measured in dollars, not just hours or units.

Explain

The story behind the number. Each variance comes with its operational cause: downtime, call-outs, changeovers, overtime, or standards that drifted.

Act in real time

Before it hits the P&L. Margin leakage and overruns surface during the period, while there is still time to act, not at month-end close.

integrations

Connected to the systems your lines already run

Jetson connects to the ERP, HRIS, time clocks, and production systems your lines already run, reconciles labor and cost against actual runs, and dollarizes the variance, so margin is measured against what the floor actually did.

Does Jetson work for packaging manufacturers?

Jetson reconciles labor, production, and cost and explains site performance for manufacturers and distributors, including packaging and contract-packaging operations that run frequent changeovers and short runs.

How does it cost a changeover or short run?

It reconciles the labor and cost each run actually consumed and dollarizes the variance, so a changeover shows up as a margin figure during the period rather than a number buried in units at close.

What systems does Jetson integrate with?

Jetson integrates with the core systems that run your operation: HRIS, time clocks, ERP, MES, and supply chain planning tools. Rather than replacing what you already have, Jetson connects these systems so they finally work together.

How long does implementation take?

Jetson provides a dedicated team that gets you live in four weeks, not months, and stays with you as you scale.

Is Jetson secure enough for enterprise deployment?

Jetson is SOC 2 Type II certified, with enterprise-grade security backed by independent audits, regular penetration testing, and security reviews.
