Accurate Parcel Measurement

Dimensioning Systems Accurately Measure the Size and Weight of Parcels

Inaccurate parcel measurements cost businesses thousands each year in shipping surcharges, wasted space, and avoidable disputes.

Dimensioning systems eliminate these costly errors by instantly capturing exact parcel sizes and weights, ensuring precise billing, smarter storage, and full transparency from dispatch to delivery — saving money and protecting your bottom line.

Errors Caused by Manual Measuring

Manual parcel measuring may seem simple, but it’s one of the most common sources of hidden costs in logistics. Even small inaccuracies can trigger a chain of expensive problems across your operation.

  • Shipping Surcharges: Carriers now charge based on volumetric weight, so even a few millimetres’ error can lead to unexpected fees or rejected shipments.

  • Incorrect Invoicing: Under- or over-reported dimensions cause billing disputes, wasted admin time, and damage to customer relationships.

  • Inefficient Storage: Mis-measured items distort warehouse space planning, leaving shelves under-utilised and pallets incorrectly stacked.

  • Wasted Transport Capacity: When parcel data is inaccurate, vehicle loads are miscalculated, leading to half-empty trucks or excess journeys.

  • Inconsistent Data: Manual entries vary between staff members, making it difficult to maintain reliable stock and shipping records.

  • Time Loss: Measuring and re-checking parcels manually slows down packing and dispatch operations.

  • Returns and Claims: Incorrect measurements can cause delivery failures or claims from customers disputing charges.

These errors compound quickly — turning minor mistakes into significant financial losses. By replacing manual measurements with automated dimensioning systems, businesses gain accurate, verifiable data that protects margins and improves overall efficiency.
