When provided with item and box dimensions, Paccurate generates efficient packing instructions for humans or box machines. It's used by small and very large retailers and other shippers. We take a different approach than other containerization software providers. Rather than focusing on cubic volume reduction alone, we optimize for your unique costs directly. In practice, this means reconciling multiple cost factors (such as negotiated rate tables, material, and labor) when calculating a cost-efficient packing solution. PacSimulate is a new modeling tool that allows shippers to determine which carton sizes they should use in their distribution centers and stores. Compare the cost and SCOPE-3 implications of various carton sets. 11 Ratings Visit Website Canditech Discover candidates’ real skills - not just their resumes - with Canditech’s candidate evaluation platform.
