Case Study Summary
Problems faced by the Client
Delays in loading, unloading, and waybill creation made it difficult for the truck to comply with state intracity traffic rules & regulations, leading to missed deliveries.
The company could not identify the touchpoint where the parcels get damaged. This lowered customer satisfaction.
The company saw increased logistics & operational costs due to erroneous data from manual measurements and a lack of optimized warehouse storage.
Low parcel throughput created long lines of parcels at the receiving dock waiting to be processed since the workers manually measured the inbound parcels.
The company did not use the truck capacity since the loads assigned to the truck were not optimized. So, the trucks were either overloaded or underloaded.
Wrong DIMs in the waybill led to lower revenue recovery
The IT team could not allocate resources to make complex WMS and TMS integrations.
Simplicity and data security weighed in on them for selecting an integration solution.
They did not have enough space for an additional desktop setup if the dimensioner was installed.

Why did the customer choose vMeasure dimensioning machines
over other dimensioners?
The vMeasure Dimensioning Solution
- 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.
