Abstract
The package configuration optimization system includes at least one non-transitory storage medium comprising instructions and at least one processor executing the instructions for performing operations. The operations may include receiving historical order data associated with a fulfillment center, the order data including at least one of items ordered, package information, shipping costs, or fill rate, generating a forecast for order data based on the historical order data and performance data associated with the fulfillment center, the forecast comprising a plurality of dummy orders, receiving preferences for packaging cost reduction, determining a current packaging configuration associated with the fulfillment center, optimizing the current packaging configuration to generate at least one new packaging configuration using the received preferences and the generated forecast, and sending the at least one new packaging configuration to a remote system.
