What it does
Submit your packaging spend history and the agent calculates packaging as a % of COGS — then shows how that ratio has moved relative to PackIndex commodity trends. Identifies whether COGS pressure is market-driven or supplier/operational.
Example use case
A finance team tracks corrugated packaging at 4.2% of COGS. Over Q1, COGS has risen 0.3 points. The tracker shows that PackIndex CORR has risen 2.1% — attributing 0.18 points to market forces and 0.12 points to a supplier above the index.
