“We couldn’t optimize our shipping rates because we didn’t have weights and dimensions. We were able to capture weights and dimensions for our 12,000 SKUs in under two weeks." CFO for an Agriculture Distributor
Businesses know the importance of receiving, picking, packing, and shipping products as fast, cheap, and accurately as possible, but doing so requires accurate weights and dimensions for all products and SKUs. Without those weights and dimensions, warehouse storage and cube utilization can’t be optimized and shipping costs are unpredictable.
Traditional methods of capturing dimensions are either entirely manual, meaning it would take weeks or even months to get a full inventory and in doing so, be disruptive to warehouse operations and order throughput. This method also leaves businesses open to data errors due to manual measurements. The other option? An outdated, clunky dimensioner that is so complicated to use that it collects dust in the back of the warehouse.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. ShipHawk Dimensioner delivers a modern, efficient, and cost-effective method of capturing weights and dimensions and writing that data back to your ERP, where it automatically updates in ShipHawk’s Fulfillment Management Solutions.
Step 1 – Point and shoot: 3D sensors capture dimensions instantly, capturing both cube and irregular shapes
Step 2 – The dimensioner integrates with your scales and captures weight in the same workflow. ShipHawk Dimensioner then writes back the weight and dimensions to the item record in the ERP
Step 3 – Once in your ERP, that data is automatically updated in ShipHawk WMS and Advanced Shipping, and you get to take
advantage of a reduction in shipping costs and optimized cube utilization
