Case Study: Hunter Douglas achieves dynamic shipping and freight optimization with Paccurate

Hunter Douglas 
Chooses Paccurate for Dynamic Shipping, and
 Freight Optimization

Hunter Douglas, a multinational manufacturer of custom window treatments, faced significant challenges with manual packing processes that resulted in 20% of their boxes being oversized. This led to excessive freight and dimensional weight fees from carriers like FedEx, increasing their overall shipping costs by up to 15%. Seeking to optimize for shipping rates and remove human error, the company turned to Paccurate for a dynamic packing and freight optimization solution.

Paccurate integrated with Hunter Douglas's SAP ERP system to fully automate the packing process. The solution provides packers with precise box sizes and visual packing instructions, and it analyzes carrier rate tables in real-time to choose the most cost-effective box configurations and delivery modes. This implementation drastically reduced oversize fees, prevented shipping errors, and provided new visibility into costs, allowing the company to give accurate shipping quotes to customers. The successful pilot has led to plans for a full enterprise-wide rollout of Paccurate.
