Shrink Costs with Mechanized Data

We work with e-commerce fulfillment centers, 3PLs, and distributors shipping 100 to 10,000 orders a day. We can advise on dimensioning hardware, scale, and camera purchases or use what you already have to add mechanized data to your existing workflows through packchain.

A product item master is the record of every product’s dimensions, weight, and attributes in your warehouse system. When item master data is wrong, everything downstream breaks. Boxes are too big. Manifests are inaccurate. Carriers charge for air. Packchain captures clean dimensions, weights, and images and enables oversight before they are pushed to your WMS.

Cartonization depends on accurate product dimensions to pick the smallest box that fits every item in an order. Unlike other cartonization platforms, packchain’s focus on mechanized dimension data enables the cartonization engine to take the air out of boxes shipped to your customers. Smaller boxes save you money on transportation and provide a better customer experience.

Pack verification catches packing errors before a label prints. The packed box hits a scale, and packchain instantly compares the actual weight against the expected weight. If it’s off, the system flags it so it can be fixed before it goes out. And a 4K camera captures visual proof of every order to eliminate fraudulent claims.

A perfect manifest is a certified shipping document built from actual scanned parcel and pallet dimensions, not hand-keyed estimates. Scans from parcel and pallet dimensioners, scales, and cameras generate a manifest in packchain automatically that is shared with the carrier. This creates a searchable record of every shipment, which eliminates carrier surcharges caused by inaccurate dimension data.
