What is Carton Space Optimizer (CSO)?
In facilities focused on high-volume packing and shipping, even slight reductions in costs per order can translate into significant financial advantages. With the recent shift towards dimensional weight shipping, the opportunities for cost savings through cartonization software have escalated to unprecedented levels. Seamlessly integrated with SAP®’s ECC, EWM, and TM systems, CSO’s cartonization and packing software eliminates ambiguity by systematically proposing the most cost-efficient packing solutions for each shipment while complying with predefined business rules and shipping criteria. The advanced algorithms of our software determine the ideal carton arrangement by evaluating a range of factors including item volume, dimensions, fragility, weight, and dunnage requirements, and then compares this data against the specifications of the available cartons. By automating this packing process, businesses not only boost operational efficiency but also ensure that every shipment is packed in a financially savvy way, allowing them to focus on other critical areas of their operations. This enhancement ultimately leads to better resource management and overall improved service delivery.
