Booking In And Receiving Made Simple
Machines That Make It Efficient to Record Inventory
For many warehouses, the booking-in process is one of the biggest bottlenecks. Parcels and pallets arrive at goods-in, but staff spend valuable time measuring, weighing, and typing data into systems. The result? Slow intake, backlogs, and errors that carry through to picking, packing, and shipping.
That’s why more businesses are asking: “How can we make receiving faster and more accurate?” The answer is with automated parcel measuring machines like the Parcelcube dimensioning system.

Why Goods-In Bottlenecks Cost You Money
Every minute lost at goods-in creates problems further down the line. Common issues include:
Delays in processing stock – shelves sit empty while goods wait to be booked in.
Inaccurate data entry – manual measurements cause downstream errors in picking, packing, and billing.
Courier disputes – mismatched parcel data leads to re-billing and overcharges.
Staff inefficiency – time wasted on measuring and re-keying data instead of moving goods through the warehouse.
How Dimensioning Systems Improve Receiving
A Parcelcube dimensioning system transforms your goods-in workflow by:
Capturing dimensions and weight in less than a second.
Pushing data directly into your WMS, TMS, or ERP.
Creating a digital record of every incoming shipment.
Reducing errors and disputes with accurate, repeatable measurements.
Instead of juggling tape measures and spreadsheets, your team can process goods faster and more accurately — freeing them to focus on moving stock where it needs to go.

FAQs – Booking In and Receiving
Can Parcelcube connect to my goods-in system?
Yes. Parcelcube integrates with WMS, TMS, and ERP platforms using standard data formats such as CSV, XML, and HTTP.
Will it slow down the receiving process?
No. Parcelcube captures dimensions and weight in less than a second — far faster than manual measuring and typing.
Can it handle irregular goods as well as boxes?
Yes. Parcelcube systems measure not only boxes, but also soft parcels, bags, and irregular shapes.
Do I still need to keep manual records?
No. Parcelcube creates a digital record of every incoming shipment, which you can store, export, or use to verify disputes.
What’s the difference between the 900 and 1000 for goods-in?
The 900 is compact and designed for boxes and smaller parcels. The 1000 handles bulkier freight and palletised consignments, making it the better choice for industrial-scale receiving.
How hard is it to train staff to use?
Training is simple. Most teams are fully confident using Parcelcube within an hour.
