Blikbuy Purchasing Platform Leverages Spreadsheets for Packaging Cost Control and Optimization

Blikbuy, a popular international purchasing platform, has implemented a data-driven approach to optimize packaging costs using spreadsheet tools like Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. By systematically tracking expenses and analyzing packaging workflows, the company aims to reduce operational inefficiencies while maintaining service quality.

Data Collection and Analysis Framework

  • Material Cost Tracking: Detailed records of packaging components:
    • Cardboard boxes (size/grage variations)
    • Packaging tapes (meterage per item)
    • Cushioning materials (bubble wrap, air pillows, paper fill)
    • Custom branding elements
  • Labor Metrics:
    • Average packaging time per product category
    • Temporary vs permanent staff efficiency
    • Training expenses
  • Design & Sustainability:
    • Visual design revision costs
    • Eco-friendly material premium tracking
    • Return rate correlation with packaging quality

Cost Optimization Implementations

The data analysis revealed three key improvement areas:

  1. While 80% of small items being shipped in 200mm³ boxes showed 42% empty space utilization after testing 187mm³ alternatives showed comparable protection with 11% cost savings
  2. Centralized tape dispensing systems reduced waste from manual cutting — decreasing tape usage by approximately 5.7 meters per 100 packages as tracked over 15 spreadsheets iterations
  3. Custom packaging eliminated secondary boxes for 22% of their SKUs - an item weight optimization initiative that cut weekday afternoon mail pickups from two to one, creating noticeable savings in carrier charges()
