Close the gap between quoted and actual costs
Shipping costs make up a significant portion of expenses in retail distribution, e-commerce fulfillment, and parcel processing operations. To control these costs, facilities have to accurately audit shipping charges and confirm they align with expectations based on the size of the shipped items. Even minor discrepancies between quoted and actual rates can impact profit margins, cause delays, and lead to fulfillment bottlenecks and customer disputes.
Solving the challenges of manually estimating shipping costs
Despite rising shipping volumes, many companies still rely on manual packing and shipping. As more products move to “ship in own container,” and item variety increases, traditional measuring equipment often struggles to capture accurate dimensions. When shipments aren't sized right, you pay higher costs for packaging and more truck loads, driving up overall shipping expenses.
To overcome these issues, you systems that can precisely measure package dimensions and eliminate the risk of manual measurement errors. Automating shipping cost verification with real-time measurement of package size ensures exact rate calculations, reducing excess packaging, underused truck space, and unnecessary shipping costs.
3D machine vision systems with highly accurate dimensioning technology, such as the Cognex 3D-A1000 Dimensioning System, deliver more accurate cost estimates, streamline operations, and help logistics teams cut costs, boost efficiency, and improve profitability.
