What creates manual rework?

Verify that dimensions and weight are available before rating, label creation, manifest or invoice audit.
Test cartons, polybags, dark packaging, reflective surfaces, small parcels and oversized packages.

The next useful question is whether the parcel dimensioner fits your pack-out, manifesting, audit or conveyor flow.
