Sparck Technologies challenges Labor illustration

Labor

Pain

With surging parcel volumes, warehouse labor shortages are at an all-time high. Rising wages, high turnover and repetitive tasks worsen staffing challenges, leaving companies struggling to meet changing customer demands.

Gain

Automated packaging solutions help companies save an average of 88% in labor costs by eliminating up to 20 packing stations. Implementing an automated packaging solution ensures seamless operations even in the face of labor shortages.

Volume

Volume

Pain

The average box shipped is over 40% air. With rising shipping and DIM weight charges, the oversized boxes and inefficiency can lead to significantly higher shipping costs.

Gain

Automated packaging solutions create right-sized parcels tailored to each order, eliminating void fill and oversized packaging. This reduces box volume by up to 50% and increases parcels per truckload.

Sparck Technologies challenges Weight illustration

DIM Weight

PAIN
Shippers using oversized boxes filled with void incur unnecessarily high DIM weight charges, increasing shipping costs by 10%-200% for bulky, lightweight packages.

GAIN
Automated packaging solutions right-size across three dimensions—length, width and height—companies get a fit-to-size box for every order. This contributes to even more DIM weight savings due to the reduction of each box’s actual weight.

Materials

PAIN
Shipping small items in oversized boxes wastes materials, increases costs, and risks customer disappointment. Using the wrong box size leads to unnecessary void fill and wasted resources, costing businesses money.

GAIN
Right-sized auto-boxing eliminates the need to store multiple sizes of corrugate boxes and dunnage materials for void fill. By switching from stock boxes to fan-fold cardboard, you can reduce corrugate material usage by an average of 29% and reduce material costs by an average of 38%.

Speed

PAIN
Parcel packaging is often the most manual and labor-intensive part of the process, driving up overall costs. In a typical manual packaging setup, one person can pack only 30 to 40 boxes per hour.

GAIN
With productivity as a crucial KPI, automated packaging systems help fulfillment centers overcome labor constraints, allowing workers to focus on tasks like order picking. With just one or two operators, these systems can box up to 1,100 orders per hour.

Customer experience

Customer experience

Pain

Customers appreciate convenient online ordering and fast, free delivery, but they also expect responsible packaging. As the first physical touchpoint after an online purchase, packaging leaves a lasting impression. Social media is filled with customer disappointment over oversized packages stuffed with excessive air pillows, bubble wrap, and paper.

Gain

Automated packaging solutions enable shippers to meet customer expectations for convenience without compromising productivity. By delivering fit-to-size, recyclable, and reusable packages on time with undamaged order contents, shippers demonstrate their commitment to quality and efficiency.

Sparck Technologies challenges Reliability illustration

Reliability

PAIN
Under pressure to do more with less while maintaining high levels of quality and worker safety, how can companies manage these challenges reliably when labor is scarce, shipping costs are rising, and demand keeps growing?

GAIN
Automated packaging solutions eliminate delays, reduce errors, and boost efficiency, helping companies improve productivity, avoid bottlenecks, and build customer trust by consistently delivering orders on time and in perfect condition.

Sparck Technologies challenges Peak Season illustration

Peak season

PAIN
Peaks strain the entire fulfillment process, especially in packing. Manual tasks like constructing, packing, sealing, and labeling are slow, and many shippers lack the space or labor to scale up quickly. Finding flexible labor on short notice is also challenging.

GAIN
Automated packaging offers a highly scalable solution, delivering the flexibility, speed, and efficiency crucial during peak periods. It enables you to work smarter, faster, and with greater accuracy.

Sparck Technologies challenges Sustainability illustration

Sustainability

Pain

Shippers juggle endless priorities, from managing inventory to packing orders at record speeds to meet customer expectations. Now, sustainability has become a key focus as consumers increasingly value businesses that adopt environmentally responsible practices.

Gain

Automated fit-to-size packaging reduces material usage, minimizes corrugate waste, and eliminates unnecessary empty box space, leading to more boxes per truckload and a decrease in your carbon footprint.

No pain,
all gain.
