• Built on 10+ years of packaging domain experience and real manufacturer validation environments.

• Currently validating with live packaging manufacturers

• Cloud-native deployment on Google Cloud

Buyer language ≠ Manufacturing language

Buyer intent is unstructured and interpretation-dependent.
Manufacturers must translate requirements into structural, material, and costing logic before validation begins.

Pricing clarity arrives after design

Feasibility checked too late

Structural and cost feasibility validation often occurs after design initiation, triggering rework loops and coordination delays.

Cost visibility typically emerges after structural decisions, increasing iteration cycles and delaying quotation finalization.

Why Pre-Production Decisions Take Days

Pre-production inefficiency is a structural decision-layer problem — not a machine problem.

In typical rigid box workflows, quotation cycles extend 2–5 days due to repeated structural and costing revalidation loops.

How PackGPT Restructures the Workflow

Requirement Structuring

Rule-Based Cost Validation

Production-Ready Outputs

PackGPT converts unstructured packaging enquiries into machine-readable decision inputs — including dimensions, materials, quantities, and constraints — ready for deterministic validation.

The system enforces deterministic pricing and feasibility validation logic — evaluating material constraints, structural rules, and margin thresholds before quotation release.

PackGPT generates structured decision outputs — including costing summaries, validation matrices, and output references — prepared for controlled human review and execution.

PackGPT does not replace ERP systems — it governs the pre-production decision layer upstream of execution.

Deterministic Decision Architecture

PackGPT operates as a four-layer deterministic decision architecture.

Architecture Principles:

• Stateless compute (Cloud Run)

• Containerized Node.js runtime

• Multi-tenant isolation-ready

Human-in-the-Loop

System automates:

• Requirement structuring

• Cost-range computation & validation

• First-pass structural drafts

Humans control:

• Commercial judgment

• Final approval authority

• Production sign-off

Presentation Layer

Structured input capture (UI-driven dimensional & constraint intake)

Decision Gate

Domain guardrails and structural validation logic

Pricing Engine

Deterministic pricing engine with manufacturer-specific rule isolation.

Structured Outputs

Bounded cost range, structural references, and controlled human approval workflow trigger.

PackGPT is a vertical decision infrastructure platform purpose-built for packaging manufacturers.

Compute Layer:

Data Layer:

• Persistent structured data store

• Observability-enabled monitoring stack

• API Gateway (REST / gRPC)

Output Layer:

• API-ready outputs

• Structured decision artifacts

Deterministic. Observable. Human-governed.

Infrastructure-grade control for packaging decision workflows.

Production-Ready Deployment Layer

• Stateless production execution (Google Cloud Run)

• Containerized deterministic backend

• Structured audit-grade data persistence

• Observability-enabled runtime monitoring

• API-ready integration layer

Deployed on Google Cloud Run with containerized runtime and structured data persistence.

Built on Google Cloud Run under serverless containerized architecture with horizontal scalability and tenant isolation.

Operational Positioning

Packaging Buyers

Packaging Designers

Packaging Manufacturers

• Validate feasibility before design commitment

• Access early cost-range clarity

• Reduce redesign cycles

• Start with validated structure and cost constraints

• Work on approved keylines and production-ready specifications

• Minimize redesign and production corrections

• Structure enquiries before quotation begins

• Enforce feasibility guardrails early

• Reduce pre-production delays

• Protect internal pricing logic

PackGPT acts as the structured pre-production decision layer connecting buyers, designers, and manufacturers.

Validation & Roadmap

PackGPT is being validated in controlled real-world environments, with a phased roadmap toward formalized, scalable decision infrastructure.

Phase 1

• Deployed deterministic MVP

• Deterministic pricing logic

• Live enquiry validation under real manufacturing constraints

• Live pilot manufacturer onboarded

Phase 2

• Formalized decision schema

• Multi-manufacturer isolation

• Structured API layer

• Scalable rule engine

• Integration with production systems

• ERP / workflow integration readiness

Phase 3

Current Focus

PackGPT is currently in structured validation phase with real enquiries and controlled manufacturer environments, formalizing decision rules before scaled deployment.

Commercial scaling will follow formalized rule stability and controlled deployment validation.

Why This Matters

Manufacturing pre-production decision cycles remain largely spreadsheet-driven across emerging markets. Structured decision infrastructure can reduce ambiguity, improve cost transparency, and shorten validation cycles without disrupting existing ERP systems.

Commercial Model

PackGPT operates as a dual-sided vertical SaaS infrastructure model.

For Manufacturers

Subscription-based access to isolated decision infrastructure with manufacturer-specific pricing control.

For Buyers

Access via participating manufacturers on a case-by-case basis during pre-production validation.

• Manufacturer-specific pricing rule control.

• Multi-tenant isolation architecture.

• Structured rule and decision schema management.

• API-ready integration capability.

Access through participating manufacturers during structured pre-production validation.

• No direct pricing logic exposure.

• All calculations remain manufacturer-controlled.
