ABSTRACT:
A system and method for providing a packaging recommendation to a customer is disclosed. The system presents the customer with a merchandise list of merchandise, receives merchandise information from the customer about the particular characteristics of the merchandise, and generates a packaging recommendation via an interface to the customer. This merchandise information includes the type of merchandise being shipped by the customer to a definition, and may include any other information useful in generating the packaging recommendation. After referencing a packaging requirements matrix, the system presents the customer with a packaging recommendation via an interface. The packaging requirements may be easily modified by a system administrator without interrupting the operation of the system. The customer may also define particular merchandise to obtain a packaging recommendation in the event the merchandise is not included in the merchandise list.
