After dimensioning inventory, you know exactly how much space each product occupies in your warehouse. You can slot items faster, plan for future warehouse capacity, and design automation systems accordingly.

Access Continuously Updated, Manufacturer-authorized Data

IDEA Volumetrics is assembling and refreshing the weights and dimensions catalog regularly in IDEA Connector to feed distributor and manufacturer e-commerce platforms as well as PIM, ERP, and warehouse management systems. In addition to gathering existing weights and dimensions information from manufacturers, IDEA is sourcing unavailable data from a network of distributor customers through inventory dimensioning services.
