GRAM Dimensioning™ — powered by MetriXFreight — gives logistics operators the full picture: weight, volume, and data. At once. Automatically.

The problem with partial data

Across European logistics, the same issue repeats itself at different scales. A parcel enters the warehouse. Someone weighs it. No one captures the dimensions. Volume weight — the figure that determines what your carrier actually charges — gets estimated, disputed, or ignored entirely.

The result isn’t just billing friction. It’s a systemic data gap that compounds across every shift, every route, every invoice.

Manual dimensioning takes 15 to 30 seconds per parcel. In a mid-size distribution centre processing 800 shipments a day, that’s over three hours of labour — every day — producing data that is still approximate. Carriers charge for what they measure. Operators pay for what they didn’t.

The challenge

Logistics operators integrating a new measurement layer face the same three constraints every time: speed (the workflow can’t slow down), accuracy (the data needs to be legally defensible), and integration (it has to connect to the WMS, TMS, or ERP they already run).

A standalone dimensioning device that produces a number nobody can act on isn’t a solution. It’s another silo.

What changes when weight meets dimensions

GRAM Dimensioning™ — powered by MetriXFreight — captures length, width, height, and weight in a single, simultaneous measurement. 200 milliseconds. No manual input. No secondary process.

The MetriXFreight L13x, deployed in parcel and dispatch operations, processes up to 1,200 pieces per hour. Each measurement is timestamped, photographed, and ready for system integration via REST API — directly into the operator’s existing workflow.

What used to require two steps, two people, and two data entries now happens once. Automatically. With a certified, OIML-compliant result.

From measurement to decision. In real time.

1 — Capture Every parcel is measured the moment it enters the process. Weight and all three dimensions captured simultaneously. No operator involvement required.
2 — Verify Automatic photo documentation records every object. Disputes with carriers have a traceable, timestamped reference. Not an estimate — evidence.
3 — Calculate Volume weight is computed instantly and compared against actual weight. The system flags discrepancies, surfaces the billable figure, and eliminates the guesswork from freight cost allocation.
4 — Integrate Data flows directly into the operator’s WMS or TMS via API. Master data is enriched automatically — dimensions, weight, barcode, photo — with no re-keying and no delay.

What this means operationally

What the partnership delivers that neither could alone

Metrilus builds some of the most accurate 3D measurement technology available for logistics applications — 400+ systems in operation, 180,000+ measurements per week, deployed in 28+ countries. That’s not a claim. That’s an installed base.

GRAM brings the connectivity layer, the integration expertise, and the partner infrastructure to deploy, certify, and support these systems across European markets — in the languages, regulatory frameworks, and operational contexts that matter.

Together, the offer is simple: you capture everything, you connect everything, and you make decisions based on data that didn’t exist in your workflow before.
