Case Study Summary
The client is a sanitaryware manufacturer and distributor who deployed vMeasure at their dispatch zone to better document the wide variety of sanitaryware products and their respective courier partners.
vMeasure team built custom workflows to collect the name of the courier partner before the warehouse associate measures a product.
This feature enabled the company to reduce the time spent on bill reconciliation from 7 days to 20 minutes since it was done manually before vMeasure.
Problems faced by the Client
Unfavourable payment terms
The company was not able to dictate the payment terms as the credit settlement for the courier partners took at least 7 days.
Inaccurate tax payments
Manual bill reconciliation led to inaccurate tax payments and compliance issues which posed a major legal threat to the company.
Strained courier partner relationship
The inaccurate billing rates strained the relationship between the company and the courier partners.
Labor-intensive Manual bill reconciliation
The finance team manually reconciled courier partners’ bills which were labor-intensive and time-consuming.
Unreliable bill amount
It was difficult to judge the actuality of the bill amount in relation to the product dimensions handed over to a courier partner.
Inability to develop audit trail
Manual bill reconciliation made it difficult for the audit team to develop an audit trail because of inadequate access to real-time and accurate information and documentation.
Inability to align workflow
Their current enterprise solution could not accommodate their workflow and as a result, many tasks went unaccounted for.
Inadequate time for complex integrations
The IT team were not able to spare resource and time for the logistics team to make complex integrations.

The vMeasure Dimensioning Solution
vMeasure Dimensioning system acts as an entire dimensioning + order verification solution for the client. The following business process was completed using the vMeasure UX on the touch screen
- The order details, along with the SKUs to be packed for the order, are displayed.
- The warehouse associate then scans the individual FNSKU to verify.
- Once all the items are verified using the FNSKU, the warehouse associate then packs the order and places the package on the vMeasure system.
- The warehouse associate scans the confirmation barcode to trigger the measurement on the vMeasure system.
- Once the measurement is triggered, the vMeasure system automatically dimensions the package and updates the corresponding data to Ship-Station
- The vMeasure system returns to the order ID scan screen automatically once the data upload to ShipStation is complete.
