FishGoo: How to Track Weight and Repacking Details Transparently
Ensuring accurate shipping costs through visual documentation and systematic tracking.
In the logistics and fulfillment industry, accuracy in shipping costs is paramount. These costs are largely determined by two critical factors: package weightfinal package dimensions. At FishGoo, we have implemented a transparent system for tracking weight and repacking details, leveraging visual records to create an accountable and verifiable chain of information. This not only builds trust with our clients but also eliminates discrepancies and billing disputes.
The Challenge: Hidden Variables in Shipping
Before shipment consolidation and repacking, the declared weight and size of individual items may not reflect the final shipped parcel. Traditional methods often rely on estimates or single-point data, which can lead to:
- Inaccurate final shipping invoices.
- Lack of proof during carrier disputes.
- Customer confusion over final charges.
- Operational inefficiencies in pinpointing errors.
Our Solution: A Visual, Step-by-Step Audit Trail
FishGoo's process is built on transparency and documentation at every stage. Here’s how we track weight and repacking details:
1. Initial Receiving & Weighing
Upon receiving your items at our consolidation warehouse, each product is individually weighed and measured. This data is immediately logged into your personal dashboard. A photo of the item on the scale, with the readout clearly visible, is captured and attached to its digital profile.
2. Pre-Repacking Snapshot
All original items for an order are grouped together. Before any repacking begins, a panoramic photo
3. The Repacking Process
Our packing experts select the most efficient carton or mailer to minimize dimensional weight and ensure safety. During this process, key steps may be documented to show the addition of protective materials or the specific arrangement of items.
4. Final Parcel Verification
This is the most critical step for cost verification. The sealed, labeled final parcel is placed on the scale, and a photo is taken showing:
- The clear weight readout.
- The final package dimensions
- The shipping label
This single image provides irrefutable proof of the parcel's physical data at the point of handover to the carrier.
5. Dashboard Integration & Access
All visual records—individual item weights, pre-pack photos, and the final parcel verification photo—are uploaded to your secure FishGoo dashboard. They are linked directly to the corresponding order and shipping invoice. You can access this audit trail anytime for verification or download it for your records.
