A picker grabs a box that turns out to be just a little too small. Then chooses one that is way too big. And this happens time and time again. For warehouses that work with multiple box sizes, this is a familiar problem. It costs time, unnecessary packaging material, and ultimately just money.
Lyra WMS solves this with the fully integrated Boxpacker : automatic box selection directly in the pick list flow.
What is it?
The Boxpacker is a feature in Lyra WMS that automatically calculates which box size is most suitable for the products on a picking list. Based on the dimensions of the items to be picked, the system determines the optimal packaging even before the picker has taken a single step.
How does it work in practice?
As soon as a picking list is created, Lyra calculates which box fits best based on the product dimensions. The picker sees immediately in the picking list which size to take. No doubt, no guesswork, no waste.
The setting is easy to configure in Lyra WMS. You enter the available box sizes with their dimensions, and the system does the rest. Every day, for every order.
Why is this relevant to your company?
For webshops and fulfillment partners that process many orders daily, the Boxpacker delivers three concrete benefits.
Less waste: By always choosing the right box, you never use more packaging material than necessary. This saves not only cardboard and filler material, but also costs in the long run.
Faster picks: The picker no longer has to think about which box to need. The choice is already available in the picking list. This saves time per order, and with hundreds of orders per day, that adds up quickly.
Lower packaging costs: Smaller boxes mean lower material costs and often lower shipping costs as well, especially with carriers that charge by volumetric weight.
