Packing Optimization

ShipHawk’s Smart Packing™ software for cartonization helps shippers select the right box or pallet for every order. Maximize efficiency with every carton shipped, by utilizing packaging optimization.

Select the right box/carton for packing every order

Chances are, you’re packing orders in the wrong container and as a result, inaccurately rating shipments. ShipHawk’s packing optimization, aka Smart Packing™, powered by a proprietary bin-packing algorithm, selects each carton/box or pallet based on the containers you keep on hand in each DC.

Directly reduce shipping costs with cartonization software

Dimensional weight charges are real and substantial. 24 million truckloads are shipped annually in the United States as a result of shipping boxes that are too big. That’s 1.75 billion gallons of wasted diesel and 17 billion kilograms of carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere. And these costs hit your shipping bill.

Carton and pallet optimization across multiple carriers and modes (parcel and LTL)

Sending large or multi-piece parcels using a freight carrier can often save hundreds. ShipHawk’s Smart Packing™ optimizes across multiple modes, building each box and assembling those boxes into pallets for larger volume LTL shipments. ShipHawk indicates when palletizing boxes and shipping with a common carrier (LTL) or breaking apart into cartons is the best move.

Packing software helps reduce material and shipping costs

Reduce the amount of packing material required to process an order. Automatically configure every order based on item size, weight, value, and fragility, selecting the smallest box (that meets carrier standards) to reduce your box usage and unnecessary shipping costs.
