Who should stay with Packgine (representative vendor)

If you need automated fee calculations that model real eco-modulation bonuses and maluses across rate schedules, stay where you are — Packora only estimates fees from operator-entered rates and doesn't model eco-modulation adjustments.

What Packora deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.

Why owning beats renting Packgine (representative vendor).

One payment

No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in Packgine (representative vendor)'s cloud.

No plan ceilings

Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.

It keeps working if the vendor doesn't

Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.

The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Packora vs renting comparison.

Questions about moving off Packgine (representative vendor).

Can't I just use a spreadsheet?

You can — until the second state, the second year, or the first re-audit. Packora keeps one clean register: weights entered once per SKU, changed from the year the packaging changes, and every filed year reproducible, with exact integer maths and exports anyone can re-verify. When you file, record the filing: the pack is kept exactly as it stood, with a fingerprint, so a re-audit sees what you submitted even after your packaging changes.

Does this make me EPR-compliant?

No tool can claim that. Packora implements the record-keeping and report-preparation mechanics the duty assumes; your producer status, program registration, and filings are between you and your PRO.

Where do the fee numbers come from?

From you. Packora multiplies your material tonnage by rates you enter from your PRO's current fee schedule, labels the result an estimate, and refuses to fake a $0 for materials you haven't rated.

Will this run on shared hosting?

Yes. PHP 8.1+ with pdo — present on virtually all cPanel/Plesk hosts. MySQL and SQLite are both supported, and installation takes about two minutes through the web installer.
