The Hidden Costs of the Status Quo
Lack of Transparency
What does packaging cost per product? Which supplier is really cheaper? Without reliable data, potential remains hidden.
Compliance Risks
PPWR, ESG reporting, supply chain due diligence—regulatory requirements are growing. Are you documentation-ready?
Procurement Not Digitalized
IT projects take months and tie up resources. Packaging procurement waits while the competition is already digitalizing.
Measurable Results for Your Business
Professional procurement without the overhead of a large corporation
Cost Transparency
Packaging costs precisely allocated per product and order. No more hidden costs.
Process Costs −80%
Hunting suppliers, emailing specs, comparing quotes in Excel — these routines disappear. Your procurement team gets back roughly 78 hours per tender and can handle more volume with the same headcount — or skip an additional hire as you grow.
Budget Certainty
Predictable costs instead of unpleasant surprises. Solid forecasts for your financial planning.
Compliance & ESG Reporting
PPWR-ready with sustainability metrics automatically available. No audit risks.
Risk Reduction
Less dependency on individual suppliers. Alternative sources immediately available.
Governance & Traceability
Digital four-eyes principle. Who approved what, when, and at what price?
Common Questions from C-Level
And why PAXLY still makes sense
?
"Packaging isn't strategic"
5-15% of product costs—at your revenue level, we're talking about a significant amount per year. That's quite strategic, and optimization pays off quickly.
?
"We have other priorities right now"
PAXLY is live in 2 weeks, needs no IT resources, and pays for itself in the first quarter. Not a major project, but a quick win.
?
"I trust my buyer"
So do we. PAXLY just makes them better. They get data they could never compile manually today. Your team can achieve more—without hiring.
?
"Our buyer has negotiated top terms"
Great—but what happens if they leave? With PAXLY, all know-how is digitally documented: suppliers, specifications, terms, negotiation history. No more single point of failure. New employees are immediately productive.
?
"Another tool, another subscription"
How much does a buyer who spends 30% of their time on research cost you today? PAXLY pays for itself from month one.
?
"We've always done it this way"
And that worked—until now. PPWR, supply chain issues, inflation are changing the rules. Your competition is already optimizing.
?
"How much can a mid-market company save on packaging costs?"
Around 23.4% in median — for some customers significantly more. The biggest levers: structured packaging tenders (instead of direct enquiries with incumbent suppliers), live market prices for corrugated and film, plus consolidating volumes instead of fragmenting demand. On a €2M packaging spend, that translates into €400,000–500,000 a year.
?
"How do you reduce packaging costs without losing quality?"
Tender on a fixed spec: material, dimensions and performance criteria are locked in — competition runs purely on price and terms. Plus a market index as a sanity check. Suppliers significantly above market stand out, and good suppliers stay in the game because their quality is being scored. Reducing packaging cost is not "lowest bid wins".
?
"What tips actually help reduce packaging costs?"
Three short levers: (1) re-tender every position every 12–18 months, not only when something breaks. (2) Use market price indices to sanity-check escalation clauses before any renewal. (3) Consolidate packaging demand across sites and subsidiaries. Levers 1 and 3 typically deliver double-digit results.
?
"Where are the biggest savings hidden in packaging procurement?"
In stagnation: positions that have not been re-tendered for years because "the supplier is solid". That is exactly where 15–30% packaging cost reduction is the norm. Secondly: volume bundling across plants. Thirdly: right-sizing — many cartons are 10–20% too big, which inflates material, storage and shipping. Structured supplier management makes these stagnation pockets visible.
?
"How much does PAXLY actually save on procurement process costs?"
Around 80% versus the classic Excel-and-email workflow — that is roughly 78 hours saved per tender. Instead of researching suppliers, emailing specs one by one, copying out PDF attachments and consolidating quotes in Excel, everything runs structured in one workflow: spec from template, unified RFQ format, automatic quote comparison with market index, audit-proof documentation. That frees capacity for strategic negotiation instead of forcing another procurement hire.
Fast ROI, No IT Project
Our customers report that with PAXLY they either handle significantly more volume with the same team—or didn't need to create an additional procurement position during growth.
