Executive summary
Having experienced rapid growth from the introduction of new customer-centric services lines, LK Packaging needed a technology infrastructure with the flexibility and capabilities to adapt to evolving market demands and customer needs. Operating with greater agility and efficiency while driving out unnecessary costs was essential to long-term success.
The migration to Tecsys’ cloud-based Elite™ platform served as a strategic reset for LK Packaging rather than a “lift and shift” of its existing processes. The information technology (IT) and supply chain teams didn’t just modernize — they transformed to grow smarter and leaner.
By reimagining operations in the cloud, the LK Packaging team eliminated outdated processes and inefficiencies, elevated IT from tactical to strategic, and futureproofed their company’s growth with modernized, scalable technology.

The challenge
Rapid growth spurs the need for tech modernization
LK Packaging has been experiencing rapid and sustained growth, driven in large part by the introduction of new “white glove,” value-added product lines. These new lines encompass a consultative, partnership-driven approach where LK Packaging tailors products and services to meet each customer’s unique needs.
With a solid strategy and strong sales and customer service operations in place, the company was ready to modernize its supply chain management and execution technology stack by investing in a SaaS platform. After more than a decade of hard-coded customizations tailored to its business, the challenge was to transition to a modern solution that could support evolving customer demands and market conditions — while also allowing for regular SaaS updates and new features.
“Flexibility is a core value because the industry and our customers are constantly evolving. We needed smart technology solutions that can rapidly adapt to changing needs at a moment’s notice.”
