Calculate a Box Size Case study
Ecommerce Turning Eco by Finding the Right Box Size
A small ecommerce shop is scaling their operations up and wants to improve their commitment to ecology, one box size at a time.
Challenge: Saving Costs and the Planet
To at once scale up and turn eco, the e-commerce shop is rising the bar and posing a challenge to their competitors. It will no longer ship half-empty boxes that waste packaging material, space and fuel. With oil prices and carbon levels on the rise, their commitment to ecology has become a priority.
Solution: Less Packaging Used
The key to achieving their eco-friendly goal is in choosing the optimal box size for each order. The e-commerce shop has invested in a variety of recycled-paper packaging options. Using API integration, 3DBP's quick and reliable calculation selects the best packaging while the order is being placed.
Benefit: Socially responsible growth
While invisible to employees, the automated box size selection feature will make an impact on the shop’s bottom line as well as the planet’s health. Efficient packing and shipping will save them time and money while helping the environment. We all know that a greener planet is a win for everyone.
