## Why do I need MetriXFreight?

Logistics processes need data that is available fast and reliable. Measuring freight is the basis for that. This is where we come in: with MetriXFreight you get dimensions and a photo of every shipment, and with a scale the weight too, for planning, billing and operations.

These are the five benefits this brings you in logistics:

## Fully automated freight dimensioning

*Precision and*

Camera-based 3D sensing accurately measures even small, irregular or wrapped objects, fully automatically in around 200 milliseconds. The data is objective, reproducible and immediately ready to use.

## Complete data transparency

*More value creation through*

Accurate freight dimensioning data does more than reduce costs. It also opens up new revenue potential.

If you always know the properties of your goods, you use existing resources more efficiently. Transport loads are better utilized, warehouse space is used more selectively, and disputes over deviations become less frequent.

Correct, traceable data builds trust with carriers, partners and customers. Surcharges and corrections become less frequent.

With reliable data, you can plan your supply chains better.

> “As supply chains become more dynamic, the reliability of the underlying data becomes increasingly important.”

## Software updates rather than hardware changes

*Future proofing through*

We keep developing MetriXFreight, staying close to the market and in close contact with our users.

New requirements come up in daily work: new labels have to be recognized, or new rules apply. We solve this in software and roll the change out to your systems. You need no new hardware, no rebuild and no production downtime.

After the update, the new functions are available after a short wait.

## Remote monitoring and support services

*Reduced downtime through*

We keep an eye on your MetriXFreight system at all times. Continuous remote monitoring lets us spot deviations early.

If something does break, the modular hardware units are easy to swap. We help you with setup by remote service, just as with software issues.

This saves time, avoids many on-site technician visits and reduces unplanned downtime.

## Intuitive usability

*Designed for real world logistics.*

Logistics is shift work. Technology has to run reliably, explain itself and must not slow processes down.

MetriXFreight uses clear symbols, simplified screens and touch operation. New team members get productive quickly, even with high staff turnover or language barriers.

**Reliable data is the foundation of working digital logistics processes.** The more precisely you know your shipments, the better you plan load space, storage locations and billing.
