Pack smarter. Ship faster. Cut cost per order.

Pack IQ guides your manual packing teams through every order, verifying contents and recommending the right pack method as they go, while giving managers real-time visibility of the pack floor, so you hit cut-offs, reduce errors and lower packaging costs without adding headcount.

Pack IQ gives you complete control of your packing processes

Order verification, pack method guidance and pack station level visibility, from the moment an order drops to the moment it leaves the building.

Typical go-live

Packing looks straightforward. But in most operations, cut-off pressure is felt hardest, material costs are high and inconsistent quality creates returns.

Packing bottlenecks delaying carrier cut-offs

One slow pack bench or a poorly sequenced operation can hold up an entire despatch run. Missed cut-offs mean broken next-day promises and lost customer trust.

High packaging material costs and avoidable waste

Oversized boxes and inconsistent void fill add cost to every order.

Inconsistent pack quality across shifts and operators

Quality that depends on individual operators varies, between people, shifts and channels.

Pack floor that breaks down at peak

Operations designed for average volume struggle when order volumes spike. Temporary staff take too long to onboard and the operation loses momentum.

No real-time visibility of what is happening on the pack floor

Without live data, managers can only see what went wrong after the shift.

Wrong pack method applied to the order profile

A single pack process applied to every order type wastes time, materials and space. Pack IQ recommends the right pack method for each order.

Packing decisions made clear and simple for your team

Pack IQ connects to your existing WMS, checks every order against the data behind it, and works out the right pack method, giving every operator a clear, efficient path through their work.

1

Connect

Pack IQ integrates with your existing WMS and order management system. Our team manages the setup.

2

Optimise

Pack IQ checks each order against the product, packaging and carrier requirements, then works out the right pack method, box size and sequence for your team to follow

3

Guide

Packers receive clear, order-specific instructions including the correct box size, pack method, required materials and carrier label.

4

Improve

Live performance dashboards give managers real-time visibility of throughput by station, error rates, material usage and cut-off progress.

What better pack optimisation actually delivers

Higher throughput

More orders packed per hour without adding headcount or stations.

Lower cost per order

Fit-to-size packaging and sequenced stations cut material and labour waste.

Fewer errors

Order-specific guidance means the right item in the right box, every time.

Real-time visibility

Managers see what is on the floor and can act before a problem becomes an incident.

Peak resilience

New operators productive in under an hour. Cut-offs hold on your busiest days.

Less material waste

Correct box sizes eliminate overboxing and reduce void fill across every order.

Everything your operation needs to pack smarter

Real-time order sequencing

Prioritises orders to keep pack benches efficient and cut-offs protected, automatically.

Pack method recommendation

Matches the right pack method to every order type based on product profile and carrier requirements.

Material optimisation

Recommends the correct box size and void fill for every order, eliminating overboxing and reducing dimensional weight charges.

Station-level performance dashboards

Live throughput, error rate and cut-off progress by pack bench updated in real time.

Operator guidance interface

Clear, step-by-step manual pack instructions. Minimises training time for new and temporary staff.

WMS integration

Two-way integration with your existing WMS, keeping order, inventory and despatch data continuously up to date.

Order verification

Checks that item, quantity and product details match what’s on the order, flagging any mismatch before it’s packed.

Exception management

Flags problem orders, missing items, damaged stock and incorrect weights before they leave the pack floor.

Carrier label validation

Verifies the correct carrier label is applied to every order before it moves to despatch.
