Optimization

Our package optimization API will attempt to pack a set of products into one of your available packages as efficiently as possible. It is at the core of Skrym's products, being used in, for example, our checkout engine or emission calculator.

While the API can be called at any time, we usually highlight two main scenarios:

• Pre-payment: e.g. during checkout on an e-commerce website. The response can then be used to validate the availability, cost, and emissions of different delivery methods.
• Post-payment: e.g. when the order is received in a warehouse. The response can then be used to streamline operational efficiency, such as grouping picking orders by package, allowing warehouse workers to pick items directly into the final package, and saving costs on filling/packaging materials.

Info

The package optimization offers a degree of customization and flexibility, which is important to configure correctly to get the most out of the API. We therefore recommend that you first head to the preferences section to see if any preferences might be useful to you.
