Key Differentiator: Multi-Warehouse Optimization

Most cartonization APIs, including Paccurate, optimize packing within a single location. StoaPack goes further by determining which warehouse should ship which items when inventory overlaps across locations.

Illustrative Example

Consider a 5-item order where items are stocked across two warehouses with some overlap.

Single-Warehouse API

Each warehouse packs its own items independently.

  • Warehouse A: Ships 3 items in 1 box
  • Warehouse B: Ships 2 items in 1 box

Result: 2 packages shipped to the customer

StoaPack Multi-Warehouse

The API evaluates whether consolidating to one warehouse reduces total shipments.

  • Warehouse A: Ships all 5 items in 1 box (overlapping inventory used)

Result: 1 package shipped to the customer

This is a simplified illustration. Actual results depend on inventory availability, item dimensions, box sizes, and warehouse configurations.

When to Choose Each

Paccurate is a better fit when:

  • You ship from a single fulfillment center
  • You need an established vendor with a longer track record
  • Your packing rules are complex but confined to one location
  • You value a mature 3D packing algorithm above all else
  • You need pre-built integrations with specific WMS platforms

StoaPack is a better fit when:

  • You fulfill orders from multiple warehouse locations
  • Items in a single order can be sourced from different warehouses
  • You want to reduce split shipments and consolidate packages
  • You ship hazardous materials and need built-in compliance
  • You want to evaluate the API with publicly listed pricing before committing
  • You want AI-driven natural language packing instructions

The Bottom Line

Paccurate is a well-established cartonization API with a mature 3D packing algorithm and a strong enterprise presence. If you operate a single warehouse and need proven, battle-tested packing optimization, Paccurate is a solid choice.

StoaPack differentiates itself with multi-warehouse optimization -- the ability to determine which warehouse should fulfill which items to minimize total packages and shipping costs. If your fulfillment network spans multiple locations with overlapping inventory, StoaPack solves a problem that single-location cartonization APIs do not address.

Both APIs offer free trials. We recommend testing each with your actual order data to see which delivers better results for your specific operation.
