OpsPatch Systems · Packing Intelligence & DIM Surcharges

Cartonization software to raise fill rate

From £2,500 / 2.850€ / $3,200·2–4 week build·100% owned source code·Zero retainers

Pack stations stop guessing box size. Fill rate climbs; dimensional weight and void fill drop.

Diagnostic Ledger

The operational breakdown.

01 / SITUATIONCurrent Friction

The Failure Mode

Pickers grab the familiar carton. Void fill and DIM weight eat margin. Split shipments happen because nobody trusts the first box choice.

Bottleneck: Manual work & drift
02 / APPROACHThe Architecture

The OpsPatch Solution

Model SKU dimensions and pack rules, then ship a pack-station tool (or WMS extension) that recommends carton sets under your carrier constraints.

Build: Custom code & pipeline
03 / OUTCOMEHandover Reality

What This Solves

Fewer oversize boxes, clearer pack guidance, measurable fill-rate and cost movement on the lanes you care about.

Result: Deterministic operation

Commercial Terms

How OpsPatch builds systems.

We do not sell seat licenses or drag out 12-month agency retainers. You hire us to build working software that you own.

01 / FIXED SCOPE QUOTE

Agreed Before Code Starts

We review your data schemas, endpoints, and edge cases. You receive a written scope with fixed delivery milestones and price.

02 / 100% OWNED CODE

Zero Vendor Lock-In

The complete source repository, Docker configs, and database migrations belong to you. No proprietary runtime or monthly seat fee.

03 / DAY-ONE HANDOVER

Logging & Operator Runbook

Delivered with automated exception alerts, telemetry, and documentation so your floor operators and developers can run it without us.

Technical Answers

Frequently answered questions

Is this a SaaS product you sell?

It is a custom build sized to your catalogue and carriers, not a generic subscription box-picker bolted on.
