The AI-powered OptiCarton system helps to optimize the filling of boxes from a pre-configured set of cartons and can even suggest splitting an order into several consignments to make individual shipments more cost-effective or to reduce their carbon footprint.
With OptiCarton, DHL is not only responding to the current shortage in cardboard boxes and packaging materials in the market, but initial pilots also indicate that the solution offers customers additional benefits in the shape of shipping-cost savings of up to 35%, and with an average saving of 15%.
