Case Study Summary

Global Gloves Safety, a leading manufacturer and distributor of personal protective equipment (PPE), supplies essential safety gear including masks, gloves, and industrial equipment to retailers, construction firms, healthcare providers, and warehouses across all major U.S. regions. The company faced challenges in its outbound logistics, particularly in managing high-volume shipments. Handling over 1,000 parcels and 35 pallets daily, the team struggled to meet same-day shipping targets.
Each parcel took nearly 3 minutes to measure, and pallet checks slowed down outbound operations. These delays led to order backlogs, frequent billing errors, and revenue losses of up to $40,000 a day.

To solve this, Global Gloves Safety installed vMeasure Parcel Ultima and Pallet Ultima, integrated with Packchain shipping software. vMeasure automated dimension capture, synced data with carrier systems, and enabled real-time rate shopping.

Within a week, manual entry was removed, backlogs cleared, and shipment data became consistent across all parcels and pallets.

Problems faced by Global Gloves Safety

Missed Shipping Targets
Manual dimensioning delayed same-day shipments and reduced the overall throughput, leading to daily backlogs and missed delivery commitments.
Increased Labor Cost
As shipment volume grew, more labors were needed to manage manual measurements, which increased the cost without improving the accuracy.
Revenue Leakage
Frequent shipping overcharges and billing disputes resulted in about $40,000 in lost revenue every day.
Slow Parcel Processing
Each parcel took nearly 3 minutes for manual measurement and data entry, limiting throughput to only 200 orders despite 1,000 shipments being ready to dispatch.
Manual Pallet Handling
Pallets were measured manually and keyed into UPS or FedEx systems, taking up to five minutes each and causing repeated slowdowns at the outbound docks.
Inconsistent Data Accuracy
Discrepancies between recorded and actual dimensions made it difficult to verify carrier invoices and track fulfillment performance.
Disconnected Systems
Dimension data was not integrated with shipping software, forcing teams to enter the same details multiple times into UPS and FedEx shipping software.
Lack of Shipping Visibility
No centralized dashboard existed to monitor parcel and pallet movement or validate shipping accuracy in real time.
Limited Automation
The absence of workflow automation prevented the team from scaling operations without adding more labor.
