Dimensioning systems have long been a staple in logistics, serving a singular purpose – obtaining accurate measurements of your cargo's length, width, and height.
Whether it has been a measuring tape or a static dimensioner, while these devices are undoubtedly valuable, their functionality often stops at dimensioning alone.
3PLs, shippers, and carriers are shifting to tools that do more than just accurate dimensions - capturing accurate measurements of SKUs, parcels, and pallets & being able to assist with data insights and optimization possibilities, all within your warehouse management system (WMS) & transport management system (TMS).
