Case Study: Lionel achieves 100x ROI and packing efficiency with Paccurate

How Lionel Trains Pumped up Process Efficiency and Productivity

Lionel LLC, a North Carolina-based maker of model trains and distributor of NASCAR replicas, faced significant challenges in its busy fulfillment warehouse. During the peak holiday season, the company struggled with inexperienced temporary staff who had to guess the correct box sizes for thousands of daily orders, leading to inefficiencies and high costs. They sought a solution from Paccurate to optimize their packing process, reduce shipping expenses, and improve overall productivity.

Lionel implemented Paccurate's cartonization engine, which was integrated directly into their Oracle NetSuite ERP system. The solution provided precise packing instructions, eliminating guesswork for employees. This resulted in a 10% savings on parcel shipping costs, a 20% increase in labor efficiency, and a staggering 100x return on investment. The vendor's product enabled Lionel to handle a 20% increase in orders without adding staff and significantly cut down on packing material and freight expenses.
