Bedal Web Connect (BWC) is our software utility that enables a user to capture the exact dimensions and weight of your parcel and save it on a local drive. The saved location can then be used to feed captured data to a website or to a shipping software. To access BWC, please contact one of our sales partners or contact us at email@parcelkiosk.com for more information.

Pre-manifesting speeds up shipping times, but it relies on pin-pointing actual shipping charges before the order is picked. Now that carriers are using DIM weights to calculate shipping fees, estimating postage based on weight alone is a risky business. The two ways of padding your estimate — either overcharging the customer or overpaying the carrier — are both unsustainable. With dimensioning, pre-manifesting is more accurate. Dimensioning systems provide the data that lets you estimate shipping costs the same way that carriers do. No surprises for you or your customers. If the quandary over how to calculate shipping charges has steered you away from pre-manifesting, you’re missing other opportunities besides improving warehouse floor efficiencies. Pre-manifesting allows you to mark the order shipped, thereby improving your performance metrics. You can also collect payment immediately, which alerts you to credit cards that are declined before picking even begins. Source: Parcelindustry.com [Omar Dajani]
