Mintsoft Tells You What to Ship.Perseuss Tells You How to Pack It.

Your WMS knows everything about your orders.
What was picked. What’s been staged. Which courier label to print.
But there’s one decision it makes quietly, in the background, that most operations never audit.
Which box should this order go into?
For Mintsoft users, that decision has typically been handled by static rules — if order weight is under X, use Box A.
Those rules were written once.
They haven’t changed.
And every day, they’re costing you money you can’t see on a single line item.
The Perseuss integration changes that.
Mintsoft manages your warehouse. Perseuss optimises what comes out of it. Together, they close the loop on fulfillment cost.
What Is Mintsoft?
Mintsoft is a cloud-based Warehouse Management System (WMS) built specifically for 3PLs, fulfilment houses, and ecommerce retailers.
It’s one of the most comprehensive WMS platforms in the UK and European market, handling:
• Order management and multichannel selling — connecting Amazon, eBay, Shopify, WooCommerce, and 150+ other platforms
• Warehouse operations — automated picking workflows, batch scheduling, mobile barcode scanning, pallet and carton management
• 3PL client management — client portals, billing, reporting, and white-labelling
• Shipping management — courier integrations with DPD, Royal Mail, DHL, FedEx, UPS, Evri, and more
• Inventory and stock control — real-time visibility across single and multi-location warehouses
• Reporting and analytics — performance dashboards, revenue reporting, and custom KPI tracking
Mintsoft is used by some of the fastest-growing 3PLs and fulfilment businesses in the UK. CK Fulfilment, for example, reduced their cost per order by 71% and increased order output by 445% year-on-year after implementing Mintsoft.
It’s also part of The Access Group one of the UK’s largest enterprise software companies which means enterprise-grade security, reliability, and a roadmap backed by serious investment.
In short: if you run a warehouse or fulfilment operation, Mintsoft is a serious platform. It handles almost everything.
Almost.
What Mintsoft Doesn’t Optimise By Default
Mintsoft’s cartonization logic is rule-based.
That’s not a criticism. It’s how most WMS platforms work.
You define box types. You set thresholds. The system assigns based on those parameters.
The problem is:
• Rules don’t recalculate as your SKU mix evolves
• Rules can’t account for dimensional weight billing tiers in real time
• Rules don’t evaluate whether two small boxes beat one large one
• Rules don’t compare parcel vs. LTL costs per order before the pick
• Rules don’t run 3D spatial optimisation across every possible carton combination
So what happens?
Orders go out in boxes that are slightly too large.
Carriers bill you for the cubic space, not just the weight.
And the difference the gap between what you paid and what you should have paid disappears quietly into your shipping invoice.
It’s not that Mintsoft users are doing anything wrong. It’s that static rules have a ceiling. And above that ceiling, AI takes over.
What Is Perseuss?
Perseuss is an AI-powered cartonization engine.
It integrates with your WMS including Mintsoft via API, and at the moment an order is processed, it answers one question with machine precision:
What is the most cost-efficient way to pack and ship this order?
To answer that question, Perseuss:
• Runs a real-time 3D bin packing algorithm across your entire carton library
• Applies your carrier’s DIM divisor and zone-based surcharge logic
• Evaluates single-box vs. multi-box configurations and recommends the cheaper option
• Compares parcel vs. LTL costs and flags when freight consolidation saves money
• Recalibrates automatically as your SKU mix, carrier rates, or box library changes
Perseuss doesn’t replace Mintsoft.
It doesn’t replace your WMS logic, your warehouse team, or your courier contracts.
It makes one decision which box? with a precision and consistency that static rules cannot match at scale.
How the Mintsoft + Perseuss Integration Works
The integration is API-based and designed to sit inside Mintsoft’s existing order flow without disrupting your operations.
Here’s the flow:
1. Order enters Mintsoft
An order arrives from Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, or any of Mintsoft’s 150+ connected channels. Mintsoft processes it as normal.
2. Mintsoft calls the Perseuss API
Before the pick is released, Mintsoft sends the order’s item dimensions, weights, and quantities to Perseuss via API.
3. Perseuss runs the optimisation
In milliseconds, Perseuss calculates the optimal carton configuration accounting for your box library, carrier rates, DIM weight thresholds, and parcel vs. LTL economics.
4. Recommendation returns to Mintsoft
The recommended box type (or multi-box split, or LTL flag) is passed back to Mintsoft and assigned to the order before the pick begins.
5. Pack station receives the correct box
Your packer sees the optimised carton recommendation. No guesswork. No manual override required. The right box, every time.
The entire process happens before the pick. By the time an order reaches the pack station, the cost-optimal carton has already been decided.
What This Unlocks for Mintsoft Users
For 3PLs and Fulfilment Houses
Mintsoft already gives 3PLs the ability to manage multiple clients, set billing rates, and report on cost per order.
Perseuss adds a new dimension to that picture.
• Reduce shipping costs across all client accounts simultaneously — without renegotiating carrier contracts
• Demonstrate cost reduction as a tangible, reportable metric to clients
• Handle SKU mix changes from new clients without rewriting cartonization rules manually
• Reduce void fill and packaging material costs that don’t appear cleanly in WMS reporting
For 3PLs competing on margin, the ability to offer AI-optimised cartonization as part of your service is a genuine differentiator.
Your clients get lower shipping bills.
You get a reason to retain them.
For Ecommerce Retailers and Multichannel Sellers
Mintsoft connects your Shopify store, your Amazon listings, your WooCommerce shop all into one fulfilment workflow.
But every order that goes out in the wrong box costs you more than it should.
• High-SKU catalogues with irregular dimensions apparel, homeware, cosmetics, electronics are hardest to cartonize with static rules
• Seasonal product changes mean the rules written in Q1 are wrong by Q4
• Promotional bundles and multi-item orders are spatial optimisation problems that no rule set handles well
Perseuss handles all of this dynamically.
No rule updates. No manual reviews. Just the right box, on every order, based on what’s actually in it.
For B2B and Wholesale Fulfilment
Larger B2B orders through Mintsoft often sit at the boundary between parcel and LTL shipping.
That decision parcel or freight? is made manually in most operations.
Or it’s made by default, because nobody reviewed it in time.
Perseuss evaluates parcel vs. LTL economics on every qualifying order, automatically.
• Plug in your parcel carrier rates and LTL freight rates
• Perseuss compares both in real time
• When LTL is cheaper, it flags the switch before the pick is released
No spreadsheets. No manual checks. No missed savings.

Why Mintsoft and Perseuss Belong Together
Mintsoft is built on a core belief: that warehouse operations should be automated, visible, and data-driven.
Perseuss is built on a complementary belief: that shipping cost is a data problem, not a negotiation problem.
Both platforms believe the same thing.
Better decisions, made faster, with better data, produce better outcomes.
Mintsoft automates the warehouse side of that equation.
Perseuss automates the cartonization and cost-optimisation side.
Together, they cover the full fulfilment journey from order in to shipment out with AI-assisted decision-making at every critical step.
Mintsoft already saves Mintsoft users time and reduces errors. Perseuss makes sure that the output of all that efficiency isn’t lost to avoidable shipping cost.
What Do Mintsoft Users Typically See?
Results vary by operation, SKU mix, and carrier contracts. But based on what Perseuss customers experience:
• 10–20% reduction in shipping costs through right-sized carton selection
• Reduced void fill and packaging material spend within the first quarter
• Measurable decrease in in-transit damage and return rates
• Parcel vs. LTL savings on B2B orders that were previously defaulting to parcel
• ROI achieved within 60–90 days of deployment for mid-volume shippers
None of these require replacing Mintsoft.
None require changing your carrier contracts.
None require hiring additional staff.
They require one integration. One API call per order. And better decisions at the box selection step.
