Shipping a parcel means guessing three things at once: which box, what it will cost, which carrier. PackShip answers all three from one photo.
An iOS app that sizes an item from a photograph, fits it into the right box with a live 3D packing view, then races UPS, FedEx, and USPS rates against each other on screen. React Native on the front, Postgres and Redis behind it so the rate lookups come back fast enough to feel instant.
Outcome
Live on the App Store as a consumer product. A multi-step, error-prone chore became one photo and a tap.
One photo, measured.
A model running on the phone estimates an item's dimensions from a single photograph. No LiDAR needed. Typical error lands around a centimetre, which is less than the padding most people were going to stuff in anyway.
Watch it pack itself.
A live 3D scene fits your items into candidate boxes while you watch. Rotate it. Swap the box. See exactly how much empty air you were about to pay to ship across the country.
Three carriers, racing.
UPS, FedEx, and USPS rates sit side by side and re-quote themselves every time the box changes. The cheapest safe option wins, usually by a wider margin than people expect.
