”The QR code system sped up our workflow and gave us perfect dimensional data to audit our freight.

CASE STUDY

One of America’s biggest residential cabinetry manufacturers uses QR codes to make the perfect box for every shipment. However, data from the on-demand packaging platform was not being shared with carriers. This meant the company had no way to identify carrier surcharge validity. They also had no record of shipments to perform a freight bill audit.

Packchain turned QR code data into an auditing tool. Now, every time a box is scanned, the system sends the exact size and weight to carriers. It also connects the order number to the tracking number for easy audits. Freight invoices are compared to a Perfect Manifest. Carrier mistakes are flagged. An easy to share report is created that staff uses to contest and recoup overcharges.

In nine months, the company recovered $120,000. This led to a packchain rollout to every facility. Annual savings is expected to reach $728,000 per year. More importantly, freight audits are now an automatic way to stop overpaying carriers across the enterprise.
