Retail Success Story
increase in average fill rate of parcels
cost of void fill materials and environmental footprint
on improved customer satisfaction
We all know this situation: Customers receive a parcel, which is hardly filled but has lots of void space, often thinking: “Why was such a big parcel used for shipping my order?” Likewise, from the company’s perspective this is far from desirable. Such packaging leads to unnecessary waste and cost (e.g., for filling material) as well as potential sales reduction resulting from frustrated customers.
Our client – a leading company in shipping beauty products to customers – was receiving several complaints from customers about under-filled parcels with significant void space. The client was looking for a solution to optimize parcel types to improve fill rates.
Customer's Objectives:
a leading company in shipping beauty products to customers
Using historical order data and taking the company-specific packing procedure into account, we leveraged our self-built advanced AI-platform to optimize the parcel dimensions in such a way that the average void space per parcel was minimized. We provided our client with a scalable and efficient analytical tool that determines the optimal parcel sizes and improved fill rates for different parcel types.
