Mobile Dimensioning Savings Beyond the Calculator

How To Save on Warehouse Dimensioning Costs

Improved Labor Efficiency

xDIM eliminates the need to transport items to stationary dimensioners, saving time. On average, it outperforms stationary systems by nearly 40% when capturing dimensions for multiple items, reducing labor costs associated with manual processes or moving items across the warehouse

Fewer Chargebacks and Audit Fees

NTEP-certified xDIM ensures accurate measurements for billing by volumetric weight, minimizing carrier disputes and audit penalties. Accurate data also streamlines reverse logistics, avoiding additional costs from repackaging or remeasuring returns.

Reduced Shipping Surcharges

Accurate dimensional data captured instantly with xDIM prevents errors in DIM weight calculations, avoiding costly carrier surcharges. For example, misreported dimensions can lead to fees as high as $1,200 per instance if items are shipped incorrectly (e.g., as parcels instead of freight).

 

Optimized Storage Utilization:

Precise item dimensions enable better slotting and pallet configuration, maximizing warehouse space. This reduces the need for costly expansions by ensuring efficient use of existing storage, especially critical with rising real estate costs and SKU proliferation.
