For many years the idea of utilizing dimensional and weight data has been an attractive idea in the parcel shipping and distribution industries.
It has long been a known fact that shippers and carriers are always looking for ways to optimize the use of their warehouses, trucks, trailers, shipping containers and aircraft; the idea is that space equals money.
Until now the collection of cube and weight data to assist in the process of using space more efficiently, thereby generating additional revenue or cost savings, has proven too time consuming, inaccurate, and labor intensive for practical use.
Well, with the introduction of automated dimension scanning equipment, we can now put these problems behind us and get back to the basics—making money!
If you’re considering the acquisition of an automated dimensioning and weighing system to help you become more efficient or generate more revenue, consider this – time and space equal money, so make the most of yours.
