“The next big shift in supply chain efficiency is simply smarter packing,” said Paccurate Co-Founder and CEO James Malley. “Packing and packaging decisions should be informed not just by empty space, but also by external cost factors like carrier rates, labor, materials and more. Paccurate is the first to provide companies a single platform to identify ideal packaging sizes, and generate packing instructions based on their unique cost factors — saving more money and reducing waste.”

Paccurate’s patented technology includes a lightweight API that suggests the optimal packing solution for every shipment. Shippers can also leverage PacSimulate, a powerful analysis tool that identifies ideal carton mixes or other packaging types, and measures the impact of changes to warehouse automation. The complete platform lowers shipping costs, reduces waste and ensures compliance with emerging regulatory requirements for packing efficiency.

“Paccurate has developed an innovative and easy-to-use solution that enables companies to optimally pack parcel orders in real time,” said David Mintz, chief supply chain officer for NDC. “The ability to optimize packing based on detailed cost and material factors has led to significant savings while supporting our ESG environmental initiative. Paccurate is fundamentally changing how we think about packing and shipping in the best way possible.”
