With the rapid growth of operational volumes, volumetric weight charges, and other types of surcharges, relying on wrong measurements of parcels & pallets can be a money-drainer.
Shippers and carriers need a way to verify measurements of items and control invoicing amounts which directly impacts their profit and loss.
Dimensioning is at the core of this. Knowing the exact length, width, height, and weight of pallets, parcels & SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) in your warehouse translates to calculating the right invoicing amount, having efficient space utilization, and multiple other optimization possibilities.
Introducing Mobile Dimensioning Application
A mobile dimensioning system is a technology designed for measuring the dimensions of boxes, pallets, SKUs, or irregular items, using a mobile device such as a smartphone or a tablet.
Traditional dimensioning techniques such as measuring tapes are a relic of the past.
Although followed by a significant amount of warehouses and carriers, traditional dimensioning methods look precisely how one would imagine. A worker at the warehouse holding a measuring tape, going around a box or a pallet, and entering the data manually into an Excel spreadsheet.
Enter Optioryx mobile dimensioning app “Dimmy” – Dimmy uses advanced sensing methods to scan and capture pallets, parcels, or SKUs' exact measurements, creating a digital record straight into your warehouse management system.
Dimmy allows workers to measure items right where they are.
- No need to move boxes or pallets to a dedicated dimensioning area.
- No need for forklifts & forklift licenses.
- No need for expensive static dimensioning systems
- No need for time-consuming measuring tapes
Bottom Line
The solution maximizes your ROI through time efficiency, accurate master data, accurate invoices, quick data insights on transportation costs, and unlocking multiple other optimization possibilities.
Take advantage of the mobility and versatility of the app and start dimensioning anything, anywhere in a split second.
