Appearing at ProMat 2025, a manufacturing and supply chain show held in March, Kardex Solutions and Paccurate announced a strategic partnership aimed at transforming warehouse efficiency through the integration of intelligent cartonization into Kardex’s FulfillX software ecosystem. The collaboration brought together Kardex’s expertise in warehouse automation with Paccurate’s advanced packaging optimization technology to reduce shipping costs, minimize material waste, and improve overall fulfillment efficiency.
As transportation costs continued to rise and industry focus shifted towards smarter packout solutions, the partnership delivered a cost-effective and sustainable fulfillment process for warehouse operations. By leveraging Paccurate’s dynamic cartonization API within Kardex’s Intuitive Picking Assistant and FulfillX execution software, businesses achieved smarter, more efficient warehouse workflows.
Optimized Packaging Through Seamless Integration
The partnership is powered by a SOFTBOT API integration between Paccurate’s cartonization engine and Kardex’s FulfillX software. When an order is processed, Paccurate’s platform determines the optimal box selection and generates packing instructions in real time, considering dimensions, weight, shipping constraints, and even negotiated rate cards. Kardex’s Intuitive Picking Assistant and FulfillX software then provide visualization for warehouse workers at the AutoStore port, allowing for precise picking and packing.
This integration enables customers to:
- Reduce void fill and optimize packaging decisions
- Lower transportation expenses and improve sustainability efforts
- Streamline picking and packing workflows, reducing inefficiencies and manual labor
- Enhance the unboxing experience for end customers with consistent, right-sized packaging
