Streamline how you capture weights and dimensions with a modern, time-efficient, and cost-effective solution that writes the data back to your ERP.

“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

Getting dimensions doesn’t have to take months and manual effort

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 An outdated, clunky dimensioner that is so complicated to use that it collects dust in the back of the warehouse.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.

How ShipHawk Dimensioner Works

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

ShipHawk Dimensioner Benefits

ShipHawk Dimensioner streamlines the process of collecting weights and dimensions for all of your products, including parcel-sized items and pallets, removing the time-intensive burden of collecting the information so you can take advantage of warehouse optimization and significant reductions in shipping costs.

• Significant reduction in shipping costs due to the ability to know item dimensions for cartonization functionality
• Save thousands of labor hours due to the rapid weight, dimension, and image capture. When products change from the manufacturer or supplier, refresh or capture updated master data with new weights, dimensions, and product images
• Optimize storage, putaway, slotting and cube utilization in the warehouse

During carrier audits, the digitized weights and dimensions enable you to challenge and win carrier chargebacks.
