qube vu

QubeVu dimensions anything in 200 milliseconds. Lightning? The blink of an eye? QubeVu is faster. Contrast that with competitive devices that take seven seconds or longer. You’ll ship more, pack more, save more.

Unlike other dimensioners, QubeVu handles cubes, tubes, polybags – any shape at all. Odd shapes are on track to make up a majority of the logistics stream; don’t get stuck with equipment that can’t handle the future!

As QubeVu grabs dimensions, it also takes a photo of every item, marked with size data and a timestamp – invaluable for verification, tracking and claim protection. Some models add support for barcode and OCR capture as well.

With warehouse space becoming ever more valuable, every cubic foot counts. Gone are the days when seat-ofthe- pants space management and a tape measure got you by. Add to that the recent introduction of dimension- based shipping rates by FedEx, UPS and other carriers – which leaves many businesses struggling to control costs, calculate accurate rates for their online customers, or even to audit shipping invoices. That one-two punch has many DC and warehouse managers putting “get a dimensioning system” on their to-do list. As you consider investing in a new system, it’s important to select one that can help you leverage all the potential benefits of dimensioning – today and in the future.

After reviewing several dimensioning systems, Jeff says QubeVu was an easy choice. He was immediately impressed by QubeVu’s speed, accuracy and ease of use – even for unusually shaped objects shipped loose or in polybags, like walking boots or leg braces.

Compared to QubeVu, competitive units seemed “cumbersome and costly – both acquiring and maintaining them.” His instincts have been proven correct: “We know QubeVu is going to help us achieve our goals.”

QubeVu collaborated closely with Cascade’s WMS provider, PathGuide, to integrate complete dimensioning data into the Pathguide Latitude WMS system. Warehouse space optimization began immediately with product slotting. The WMS combined pick rates with dimensions to optimize productivity and give Cascade a higher yield on its existing warehouses.

Jeff Collins, President of Cascade – and a known innovator – said there were several drivers behind their move to automated dimensioning. First and foremost was the need to “keep our carriers honest” by auditing dimension-based shipping invoices. But the opportunities go much further than that; Cascade chose QubeVu to capture every SKU in their inventory, as well as to dimension both inbound and outbound lines. In fact, Jeff sees QubeVu as being instrumental to their competitiveness.
