Has product development or marketing ever asked you for a package for a new product and you create it from scratch, only to find hours later that you previously had created the exact same package? Ugh.

Within packaging departments, this is a common and inefficient exercise of recreating the wheel. SKU proliferation caused by retailer and consumer demand is only increasing the frequency of this scenario. Wouldn’t it be nice if you had the necessary data points to find existing similar items at your fingertips?

The Specright Specification Data Management platform enables you to slice and dice your specifications any way that you desire. Imagine that New Product Development asks you to create a shipper that needs to be 3’ x 4’ x 6’ and hold 24 new widgets weighing 5 pounds each. Use Specright’s analytical tools and you’ll find matching specs in seconds.

Time saved + faster product speed to market = Increased revenue.
