Freight dimensioner

Pallets, parcels, crates and irregular freight

Capture freight dimensions, weight and proof in one scan.

Sizelabs combines pallet dimensioning, parcel sizing, photo evidence and AI/OCR receiving data so operations, billing and claims teams work from the same trusted record.

Choose the dimensioning workflow that matches your dock.

FreightSnap and Cargo Spectre lead with dedicated dimensioner pages and quote CTAs. Sizelabs meets that buying intent while adding AI/OCR receiving automation and WMS entity sync.

Record acceptance test

Before a scan leaves the dock, verify the record—not just the measurement.

Dimensioning is useful only when the next team can retrieve the physical facts, identify the freight, understand any exception, and find the right system handoff without rebuilding the story.

01

Tie the scan to one identifier

Use the barcode, LPN, shipment, BOL, PO, or customer reference your downstream system can retrieve.

02

Keep the physical facts together

Confirm dimensions, weight, capture time, and condition images belong to the same freight record.

03

Make exceptions explicit

Mark unreadable labels, overhang, damage, or a record mismatch before the freight moves to the next workflow.

04

Prove the handoff

Test the receiving, billing, WMS, TMS, ERP, or API destination with a real lookup—not a screenshot.

Invoice-review route

Different freight adjustments need different next checks.

A package DIM adjustment, an LTL reclass, and a missing freight record should not send the same person to the same generic form. Start with the review that matches the problem in front of the team.

01

Parcel DIM adjustment

Check packed dimensions, actual weight, and the carrier divisor before a parcel invoice turns into a repeat adjustment.

Calculate package DIM
02

Pallet or LTL correction

Estimate the fee, rate-delta, and research exposure when reclass notices or accessorials keep returning to the billing queue.

Estimate LTL exposure
03

Record cannot be retrieved

Map the shipment reference, physical facts, photos, and exception owner before the next carrier or customer billing review.

How Sizelabs freight dimensioning works

01

Place or scan the freight

Operators scan a package, roll a pallet through the station or trigger capture from the dock workflow.

02

Capture the full record

Dimensions, weight, photos, labels and receiving context are captured without manual measuring or retyping.

03

Sync clean data

Validated records flow into WMS, TMS, ERP, billing, carrier and API workflows for quoting, claims and audit trails.

Built for buyers comparing automated dimensioners

LTL teams reducing reclass disputes and accessorial leakage.

3PLs billing clients from accurate parcel and pallet measurements.

Fulfillment centers removing manual package sizing bottlenecks.

Freight forwarders combining dimensioning with document capture.

What is a freight dimensioner?

A freight dimensioner automatically measures length, width, height and weight, then stores photos and shipment data so teams can quote, bill, receive and dispute freight from a documented record.

Does Sizelabs handle both pallets and parcels?

Yes. Wilkins Pallet Dimensioner covers pallets, crates and irregular freight. Wilkins Parcel Dimensioner covers cartons and package sizing for high-volume parcel operations.

How is Sizelabs different from a standalone dimensioner?

Sizelabs pairs dimensioning hardware with AI/OCR receiving automation, photo evidence and WMS-ready entity sync, so the scan feeds operations as well as billing.

Can freight dimensioning data integrate with existing systems?

Yes. Sizelabs supports WMS, TMS, ERP, conveyor, carrier billing and API workflows, with implementation scoped around the systems already used on the dock.

How much does a freight dimensioning system cost?

Sizelabs publishes pricing: Wilkins Parcel Dimensioner from $3,000 setup plus $200/month, and Wilkins Pallet Dimensioner from $8,000 setup plus $400/month, support included. Legacy freight measurement hardware typically runs $9,000–$30,000+ upfront plus annual maintenance contracts, so compare year-one and five-year totals — and weigh both against the reclass and billing-dispute leakage the system stops.

Do I need certified freight measurement hardware?

If measured dimensions feed carrier billing or client invoicing, yes — legal-for-trade applications require NTEP-certified measurement. Sizelabs freight dimensioners are NTEP certified, and each scan stores the dimensions, weight, photos and timestamp needed to defend a billing dispute.

Need parcel and pallet data your WMS can trust?

Share your daily volume, freight mix and WMS. Sizelabs will recommend the right capture workflow.
