Case Study Summary

Agri Drain Corporation, a leading manufacturer of water management solutions, faced growing challenges with their outbound logistics especially meeting same-day shipping commitments during peak seasons.

Manual box measurements, shipping errors, and rising labor costs made it difficult to scale efficiently. To overcome these operational roadblocks, Agri Drain chose vMeasure to automate their dimensioning process and streamline outbound shipments.

The vMeasure team conducted an on-site evaluation and designed a custom ceiling-mounted Parcel Ultima Pro, seamlessly integrating with Agri Drain’s roller-top conveyor without disrupting operations. The automated dimensioning eliminated manual data entry through StarShip integration, and accurately captured over 95% of product dimensions.

Problems faced by the Client

Missed Shipping Targets
Manual measurement delayed same-day shipping commitments of the company, especially during peak seasons.
High Operational Costs
Without the right box sizes, shipping charges kept increasing, leading to unexpected carrier charges
Limited Scalability
As order volumes increased, Agri Drain struggled to scale operations without adding more staff.
Increased Labor Dependency

Warehouse team had to measure every package by hand, which took more time and added pressure during peak seasons.

Wrong Box Sizes

Measuring Tapes and rulers often missed bumps or odd shapes, causing mistakes in shipping labels led the company to pay extra.

Frequent Carrier Disputes

Inaccurate dimensions led to disagreements with carriers, resulting in back-and-forth disputes and additional charges.

Lack of System Integration
Teams had to manually key in package dimensions across multiple platforms, slowing operations and increasing errors.
No Centralized Data Visibility
Shipping information was stored in different places, making it hard to track past orders or solve delivery issues.
Inconsistent Data Flow
No synchronization across platforms like the WMS, OMS, and shipping software, created inaccuracies across the team.
“vMeasure sped up our process delivered more accurate dimensions. I absolutely recommended this product to others.”

Why Agri Drain Chose vMeasure Dimensioner
