Case Study: Kao Brands reduces shipping and packaging costs with Paccurate

KAO Brands - Customer Case Study

Kao Brands, a leading consumer products company, faced rising e-commerce fulfillment costs and sought to improve the sustainability of its packaging. Their third-party logistics provider, Barrett Distribution Centers, partnered with the vendor Paccurate to tackle this challenge by using its PacSimulate packaging analysis tool to identify optimization opportunities.

Paccurate's solution analyzed a full year of order data to determine a more efficient carton suite. The implementation of Paccurate's recommendations resulted in a projected 5.9% annual transportation cost reduction, a 33% decrease in corrugated material usage, and a 34% reduction in net DIM weight, significantly advancing Kao's sustainability goals.
