Paccurate provides a cartonization API that optimizes packaging decisions by calculating the most efficient box sizes based on historical shipment data and fulfillment costs. This technology reduces shipping costs by minimizing cubic volume and material waste, resulting in approximately 7% lower transportation spend and 22% less air shipped.

Problem
Many companies struggle with inefficient packaging processes, leading to increased shipping costs, excessive material usage, and unnecessary environmental impact. Traditional cartonization methods often fail to account for complex rate structures and the true cost of fulfillment.
Solution
Paccurate offers a suite of cloud-based solutions that optimize packaging decisions, providing businesses with greater control over their fulfillment processes. PacAPI, the core cartonization engine, considers negotiated rate cards, material costs, and labor expenses to identify the most cost-effective box sizes. PacSimulate allows businesses to virtually pack historical shipments to determine the ideal box mix and evaluate the impact of different packaging types. PacHealth monitors packing and packaging performance over time, benchmarking against the "perfect pack" to identify inefficiencies.
Target Audience
Paccurate serves retailers, e-commerce businesses, third-party logistics providers (3PLs), and carriers seeking to reduce shipping costs, minimize material waste, and improve overall packing efficiency.
