Does digital matchmaking also work when it comes to finding the right product packaging? The answer is provided by a Berlin start-up with a new B2B platform that connects producers and packaging manufacturers quickly and easily.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How do I optimise the procurement of my existing product packaging or how do I find the right supplier for new packaging? For small and medium-sized companies in particular, this can be a time-consuming and labour-intensive challenge due to the large number of different suppliers. Here is the Simplify and, above all, accelerate processes<\/strong>, the Berlin start-up Packmatic<\/strong> because, according to Managing Director Jonas Boland: \u201eWith over 600 film suppliers in Europe alone, it is almost impossible for a single company to maintain an overview.\u201c<\/p>

The company name says it all, as it combines the two areas of packaging and automation. On one B2B platform specially tailored to the packaging market, Packmatic links producers and packaging suppliers.<\/strong> with each other. The concept is convincing: while the start-up, which was launched at the beginning of the year, was initially financed by the founders Jonas Boland and Matthias Gei\u00df with their own funds, the founders of other well-known digital companies such as Zalando and HelloFresh, as well as the financial investor HV Capital, have now invested a mid-single-digit million amount in the up-and-coming company.<\/p>

The Business model based on \u201esmart matching\u201c<\/strong>. On the one hand there is the customer search for the optimum packaging, on the other hand there are the offers from numerous packaging suppliers. In order to match both sides in an automated process in the best possible way, a specification of the required packaging is required.<\/p>

Here Packmatic offers customers a Supplier-neutral advice from its packaging engineers<\/strong> on. In a first step, the status quo is determined and specific targets (e.g. increasing recyclability, CO2<\/sub>-reduction, price optimisation, application optimisation) for the packaging in question. In a second step, the Packmatic consultants work with the customer to develop the target specification for the packaging. This forms the basis for the subsequent Automated smart matching with the supplier network<\/strong> is a major challenge. Although Packmatic supports buyers on the customer side in identifying all relevant suppliers, individual requirement criteria such as regional proximity of the packaging material supplier to the production site can also be taken into account.<\/p>
