Optimized Packaging Procurement

Reference number
Coordinator Skrym AB
Funding from Vinnova SEK 1 173 500
Project duration November 2024 - December 2025
Status Ongoing
Venture Climate-neutral e-commerce
Call Climate-neutral e-commerce - Conversion to a sustainable e-commerce with a focus on sustainable packaging systems, return handling and delivery locations

Purpose and goal

Today, it is very difficult for retailers to buy in the right sizes for their e-commerce packaging. The project aims to develop a first version of a support tool for e-retailers to use in the purchasing process. The tool will use optimization algorithms to achieve a more efficient and less time-consuming matching between supply and demand.

Expected effects and result

The project intends to develop a first version of the support tool, with the aim of validating the solution potential for a future scale-up and commercialization of the tool.

Planned approach and implementation

Skrym leads the project and is responsible for the technical development of the tool. MM Sports and Cervera will contribute data that can characterize their purchasing needs, and Pacson will contribute data on the available range of packaging solutions. Through this, the system will be iteratively developed with the help of feedback from both the buy and sell side of the packaging market.
