Yes. Shipping and warehouse operations use dimensioning software with connected measuring devices to replace manual measuring with an automated capture process. Instead of using tape measures and entering dimensions by hand, the system records parcel or pallet length, width, height, weight, images, and barcode data in a structured workflow.
In most operations, the software works with a parcel dimensioner, pallet dimensioner, mobile dimensioning app, or a dimensioning-and-weighing setup. Once a shipment is scanned, the captured data moves into the WMS, TMS, ERP, or shipping platform. This reduces manual data entry, improves measurement consistency, and creates a more reliable shipment record for rating, billing, compliance, storage planning, and audit use.
For businesses like 3PLs, shippers, etc who are trying to remove manual measuring from daily operations, the right setup is not just software alone. It is software paired with a NTEP certified dimensioning system that captures freight data quickly and stores it in a usable digital record.
