When a warehouse or logistics company dispatches parcels, the accuracy of weight and dimensions becomes critical. Because inaccuracies in dimensions and volume leads to billing errors and chargebacks. These mistakes impact company’s profitability and also strain relationships with shipping carriers.
By automating the dimensioning process of parcels for both standard packages and irregulars, companies can conduct effective parcel audits processes to ensure billing transparency.
A thorough parcel audit can help a warehousing or logistics company find hidden fees, overcharges, and inconsistencies in carrier invoices. It even becomes easier to detect discrepancies in real-time and take corrective action before the billing cycle is complete.

Moreover, a dimensional shipping system allows organizations to build a consistent record of shipping data by integrating with WMS, storing all the dimensional data which are later referenced in the event of disputes.
- Increased billing accuracy: Helps ensure that shipping fees align with the actual dimensional weight of each parcel, reducing disputes and errors.
- Faster parcel damage claims resolution: It provides visual and dimensional records of parcels at the point of dispatch, helping to support or dispute damage claims with carriers more efficiently.
- Improved financial control: Dimensional shipping systems empower businesses to conduct real-time audits, identify discrepancies, and take corrective measures before they impact profitability.
- Enhanced compliance: An NTEP- certified dimensional system supports strict adherence to carrier-imposed guidelines and industry standards for parcel sizing and weight requirements.
In addition to its operational and financial advantages, a dimensional shipping system also helps businesses optimize their packaging practices. Analyzing parcel dimensions will help companies to better match products to packaging materials, reduce void space, and save on dimensional weight charges.
Thus, the dimensional shipping system is a strategic dimensioning tool that empowers e-commerce warehousing and logistics firms to audit parcels effectively, lower shipping costs, ensure regulatory compliance, and deliver a better experience to customers and partners alike.
