Solutions by workflow
Eight jobs where accurate dimensions save labor, space and shipping cost.
Pick the job you want to fix. Every workflow uses the same M2 handheld or S1 benchtop station and produces the same record: dimensions, weight, barcode, shape and photos, sent to your WMS, ERP or TMS.

Warehouse operations
Inside the building.
Dimensions captured once, at the door, feed putaway, slotting, storage and automation for the life of the item.
Receiving & item master data
Items arrive unmeasured, or with supplier dimensions nobody has checked. Bad data in, bad data out.
Fast capture at receipt, checked against supplier data → accurate records from day one, less labor spent validating.
ReceivingSlotting & cube utilization
Without item dimensions, putaway guesses where things fit, and items sit in bins larger than they need.
Right-size locations and a layout planned from real cube → faster putaway and picking, and room to delay an expansion or a move.
Slotting & cubeAutomation readiness
AS/RS and robotic picking can't plan bins or picks when item dimensions are missing or wrong.
Good dimensions and shape for every SKU → more usable AS/RS capacity and zero time-consuming stow exceptions.
AutomationInspection, returns & cycle counts
Damage checks, returns and counts end up on paper, or as photos nobody can find later.
A WorkFlows app on the same M2: photos, checklists and counts in one record → evidence that's filed where your team can easily find it.
Inspection & returnsShipping efficiency
On the way out.
What leaves the building is billed on its size. Measured dimensions and a photo of each shipment set the right carton, the right rate and the right class.
Irregular items
Polybags, hoses and bundles are hard to measure by hand, and every person measures them differently.
Measured fast as a bounding box, tagged Irregular, into your WMS or TMS → better use of space and shipping charges that match.
Irregular itemsDIM weight & carrier chargebacks
Carrier adjustments arrive on the invoice and get paid, because nobody has the evidence to check them.
Dimensions, shape and a photo of every shipment, saved → the evidence to challenge an adjustment.
DIM weight & chargebacksFreight & LTL: density and class
Density-based freight class depends on pallet dimensions and weight that are often estimated, or left at default values that are always wrong.
The Pallets app records dimensions and photos of each side → the right class on the BOL, and photos if it's questioned.
Freight & LTLPacking & cartonization
Cartons are too large, and cartonization tools can't run without item and box dimensions.
Item dimensions that let the right carton be chosen every time, at scale → lower DIM weight and less wasted space.
Packing & cartonizationFind your starting point
Start from your business or your role.
Most teams start with one workflow, then add the next on the same devices.
By industry
- 3PL & fulfillmentBill storage by cube, onboard client catalogs, dispute carrier adjustments.
- eCommerce brandsCatalog dimensions for shipping quotes, marketplaces and packing.
- Manufacturing & distributionItem data for the ERP, pallet dimensions for LTL freight.
By role
- Operations managersStart at receiving: measure once, and every later step uses the record.
- Shipping and financeStart with DIM weight: measured parcels and a photo for every adjustment.
- IT and integration teamsSee how records reach your WMS, ERP or TMS, and the APIs behind them.
Same device, same record
One record, whatever the workflow.
Receiving, slotting, packing or a carrier dispute: the scan is the same, and so is what it produces. Adding a workflow means a new destination for the data, not new hardware.
| Dimensions | Length, width, height; ±0.25 in on boxes, ±0.5 in on irregular items |
|---|---|
| Shape | Cuboidal or Irregular |
| Weight | From a paired Bluetooth scale or the S1 scale |
| Barcode | UPC, SKU, order or tracking number |
| Photos | Three per scan: with the measured box, plain, background removed |
| Your fields | Four custom keys, a note, or a full WorkFlows app |
Size limits, materials and conditions are in the M2 spec table.
Where it goes
- Straight from the device: each record is posted over HTTPS to your endpoint as it happens.
- From your own Android app on the M2, which calls dimensioning and gets the result back.
- Through QBOID Cloud: review and export with Basic, included with any app license; Pro adds the REST API.
- With WorkFlows, no code: to a WMS, ERP or TMS, email or Google Sheets.
