Case Study Summary
Problems faced by the Client
As the only wholesale distributor of their own products, the client was under heavy pressure to optimize operational costs with shipping
The fast business expansion seen during the pandemic and the lack of new warehouse space near the centralized manufacturing center meant that the client had to ship more orders using the same fulfillment centers
Due to the high volume of orders managed in a limited space, sometimes wrong SKUs are picked for each order and packed, leading to reduced customer satisfaction
Low parcel throughput at the packing station due to manual dimensioning for data input into the system
The accuracy variance in the manual dimensioning data to actual dimensioning data led to high shipping surcharges and a lack of predictability in shipping charges
High Returns leading to increased operational costs because wrong items were being packed and sent
There would be no space for a desktop if the dimensioner was placed in the packing station
Most dimension solutions in the market did not allow for native integrations. They only provided hotkey integrations
The IT team could not make complex integrations due to lack of resources and was not able to keep up with the logistics team’s project timelines.

Why did the customer choose vMeasure dimensioning system to solve
the above logistics problems?
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.
