DESCRIPTION
SLAM members meet regularly to discuss the industry and promote the best and largest possible market for end-of-line technologies and systems; emphasizing the best interest of the user. SLAM pursues this mission through planned programs and internal committees by: Working closely with user groups to educate and communicate needs, benefits and applications. Acting as a catalyst and liaison between different related product groups or associations. Maintaining a membership representative of the industry. Defining and evaluating best practices for the marketplace. Providing a market driven forum for end-of-line solutions. Collecting, compiling, disseminating and exchanging information which may be helpful to the membership and users. Preparing and distributing educational materials for both academic classroom environments and in continuing education. Mission: To be the authoritative resource for transforming today’s end of line fulfillment operations to address tomorrow’s challenges. Vision: To provide thought leadership for best practices within “the last 100 feet” of evolving warehouse and distribution operations.
Hunter Douglas was using manual processes to cut custom boxes for their unique orders. The DIM and overweight fees were becoming excessive, increasing transportation costs by almost 15%. Since implementing Paccurate, Hunter Douglas has reduced packaging errors and optimized their box-on-demand solution for more control over the packing process.
Lionel Trains was adding labor to keep up with seasonal demand. Using their best guess to determine the best size box to ship orders resulted in an increase in shipping costs. Paccurate's cartonization API helped Lionel Trains increase packing and labor efficiency as well as reduce shipping costs by 10%.
Daily Harvest had a change in their product set which led to a disruption in their pre-existing cartonization algorithm. This resulted in substantial transportation cost overages. Since implementing Paccurate, they've reduced transportation spend and reduced corrugate by 7% across their operation.

Paccurate has released a new simulation model for PacSimulate, that allows shippers to quickly evaluate the transportation cost and environmental impacts of adopting paper mailers. In collaboration with Georgia Pacific (GP), PacSimulate users can now quickly analyze the impact of adding GP’s popular EarthKraft mailer to their packaging lineup. This is in addition to the dozens of available simulation models already available, which were used to analyze 14.5 million shipments last year.For every 1 million packages shipped, Paccurate saves roughly 26 acres of cardboard due to right-sizing packages and cost efficiently packing shipments. Paccurate’s Packing Intelligence Platform consists of two solutions working in tandem: Paccurate’s API is a fast and flexible packing decision engine. Unlike legacy solutions, PacAPI considers your real-world costs (including materials, labor, even the obscure breakpoints in your unique carrier rates) to find the optimal way to pack every order. Capable of 10,000 calculations per second, PacAPI can be leveraged during the order wave process without slowing down an operation. Display or print helpful 3D instructions at your pack stations, or make box-making machines smarter. Best of all, it’s easy to integrate with an existing shopping cart, WMS, and other systems. PacSimulate is a unique tool which allows you to simulate millions of parcel shipments in order to: Identify which cartons to add or remove from your mix, or start from scratch and determine your optimal seasonal or year-round box mix. Predict the cost and environmental impact of box-on-demand machines, and determine where to most effectively deploy them in your operation. Evaluate the downstream impact of changes to your SKU mix, accurate to the cubic millimeter.Georgia Pacific has produced over 1 billion EarthKraft mailers, making them one of the most popular mailers on the market. Their popularity stems from how well they protect items in transit, and the convenience of curbside recycling that consumers love. With a click of a button, you can see the impact EarthKraft mailers would have on your parcel shipping operation. Whether reducing Scope-3 emissions from materials is a key performance indicator (KPI) this year, or reducing transportation costs is a priority, (or both) PacSimulate can help you intelligently adjust your carton and mailer suite accordingly.Paccurate is the only cost aware cartonization platform, with the power to identify your ideal carton suite and efficiently pack orders in real time.
