Frequently Asked Questions



1. What does this cost?
Every operation is different, and a one-size-fits-all strategy is never best for the customer. A base instance of Packchain with no managed services or support starts at $1,400 monthly. Packchain’s parent company offers a full suite of services that include Packchain free of charge with a managed services agreement.
2. What kind of data do you need?
Packchain is more powerful the more data you supply to our system. Typically, all clients start with three easy-to-get data requests: your product item master, your packaging item master, and order history over the previous 12 months. This allows us to use CartonPRO to answer key questions about the operation and determine the best opportunities.
3. How can Packchain positively impact transportation spending?

4. How do you integrate with our current processes?
Packchain’s key focus is on dimensional data accuracy. We integrate natively with major dimensioning brands such as Cubiscan, Rice Lake, Vmeasure, and Cognex.
