Case Study Summary
Problems faced by the Client
The company missed its delivery timelines which decreased customer satisfaction and faith in its services.
The company felt it difficult to onboard new customers since its existing fleet was not operating productively.
The packing area would sometimes get congested as the workers could not improve their order processing speed.
Manual dimensioning in the pack station slowed down loading as the trucks waited in the loading bay for far too long.
The truck’s capacity was not used to the fullest, so the trucks made more trips than necessary.
At times, the staff could not keep up with the influx of orders into the pack station because manual dimensioning restricted their order processing speed. Hence, orders piled up in the pack station.
The IT Team had to do most of the heavy lifting concerning data upload to the WMS as the dimensioning was manual.
They could not find a suitable dimensioning solution that seamlessly integrates with the company’s WMS without demanding drastic makeovers of their existing IT systems.
The company’s technological infrastructure at that point did not support sophisticated integrations.

Why did the customer choose vMeasure 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.
