Auto-replenish billions of boxes for third-party logistics companies (3PLs) 

---

SaaS Consumption Model

---

• We make $5K/yr per seat + 15% off packages sold
• Average Third-Party Logistics company (3PL) does $25M/year in packaging * 15% = $3.75M ARR with 20K to choose from

We’d be at $100M ARR with just 50 3PL sign ups! 

• Current Gross Profit Margin of up to 85% 
• Current Average Annual LTV of $1200 for DTC Merchants
• Expected Average Annual LTV of $1800 in 2022 for DTC Merchants
• Each 3PL is worth 500X as a one-to-many play

One of the biggest
industries out there

For every $11 spent on product,
merchants spend $1 on packaging.

---

3PLs are expected to grow 8% to $212 Billion in 2022. Ecommerce Retail is expected to reach $1.3 Trillion by 2025. ***

Growth of Ecommerce Retail will fuel greater demand for 3PLs and for packaging, which will create the perfect conditions for Arka to cement its role in supply chain for all ecommerce packaging.

There's a TON of money in packaging, especially at the warehouse level. 

They lose customers when packaging isn't accounted for properly resulting in millions lost per year for each individual customer.

We make sure they never run out again with what we've built-

A Packaging API connects to any WMS:

• 20,000 3Pls in the states to go after
• Each 3PL ships $25M on average worth of product
• Top 3Pls do closer to $700M at 15% CAGR
• Each 3PL has a $500/customer avg cost across hundreds to thousands of customers per warehouse
