Six capabilities, each written as the problem it removes and the outcome it delivers.
Your purchasing data, without the data entry
Packaging information is scattered across invoices, quotations and specifications, so benchmarking usually dies in a spreadsheet. Packmetric reads those documents automatically and pulls out line items, prices, order quantities and delivery terms. Your team gets a complete picture of spend in hours instead of weeks — and no one retypes a PDF again.
The true cost of every line, not just the unit price
Most packaging decisions are made on headline price, which hides freight, minimum order quantities, stockholding and damage. We model all ten cost drivers behind each line. You find out which "cheap" items are the most expensive things you buy, and how much that is costing you a year.
Supplier decisions you can defend
Quotes rarely compare like for like, so tenders are won on presentation rather than value. Every supplier is scored on commercial terms, logistics, quality, reliability, ESG and risk, then ranked on total landed cost. You renew, consolidate or switch with evidence a finance director will accept.
Warehouse costs traced back to their cause
Damage, rework and extra pallet movements look like warehouse problems but usually begin with a specification. We benchmark pallet utilisation, void fill, damage rates and lead-time reliability against similar UK operations. You see exactly which decision to change to remove the cost.
A prioritised action list, in plain English
Knowing where money is lost is only half the job; teams stall on what to do first. Each recommendation explains why it matters, how to implement it, the expected saving, the effort involved and the time to value. Procurement starts on Monday with the highest-return action rather than the easiest one.
Reports your board actually reads
Cost programmes lose momentum when the analysis can't leave the analyst's screen. You get an interactive and downloadable report covering savings, supplier options, operational actions, implementation phases and full workings. Approval conversations take one meeting instead of three.
Most customers go from first upload to a benchmarked savings report inside a working week.

Re-tender RSC cartons across two suppliers
£78,400You're paying more for cardboard boxes than most similar UK businesses. Moving part of the volume to two better-priced suppliers of the same quality box could save around £78,400 a year.
Down-gauge board on 4 high-volume SKUs
£41,100Your boxes are stronger — and more expensive — than your products actually need. A slightly lighter box that still passes the same drop tests could save around £41,100 a year.
Redesign case sizes to pallet footprint
£36,800Your boxes don't fit your pallets neatly, so you're shipping air. Resizing three boxes would fit around 1,340 fewer pallets a year and save roughly £36,800.

Prioritised recommendations with expected savings.
Most warehouse problems don't start in the warehouse. They start with supplier and packaging decisions.
Packmetric helps businesses make better decisions before those problems become operational costs.
