DCX Cubing™
Cubing is much more than packing a box or choosing a container.
DCX’s Cubing Module helps operations pick, pack and ship in a more efficient and cost-effective manner. It utilizes a deep set of algorithms based on real-world experiences and proven results that are sure to lower costs and improve productivity in your operation.

Improve Cubing Accuracy with True 3D Collision Detection™
From selecting the most efficient box size to identifying the best packing configuration, our cubing module goes beyond traditional cubing software that utilizes "liquid melt down" technology. Since few products can actually be melted down, we use True 3D Collision DetectionTM to minimize all overlaps and gaps – ensuring containers are packed in the most efficient manner possible.
Enhanced Picking Efficiency
Since DCX Software Suite is rooted in the world of order picking, our Cubing Module employs a level of critical thinking that considers your entire fulfillment process including labor utilization, pick zone optimization, conveyor efficiencies and more. It analyzes scenarios against complex product configurations, picking paths and other processes to identify clearly-calculated cubing solutions.
More Intelligent Cubing = More Savings
While it is not uncommon for warehouse management software to include some type of cubing or packing module, the intelligence in DCX Software Suite’s True 3D Collision DetectionTM simply yields better results. For an operation processing 250 orders per day, the cost savings were significant.
Traditional Cubing Software
250 orders per day = 622 boxes
Traditional Cubing Software
250 orders per day = 622 boxes
Total Savings
154 fewer boxes x $1.26/Box = $194 per day
Labor Savings from packing, processing, and labeling
25% fewer boxes = $100 per day (approx. 10 boxes/hr at 35k/yr)
Reduced use of packaging materials - $12/day
Reduced shipping costs through DIM reduction
Reduced damage claims from packaging more efficiently & increased 'on-time' shipments
Multiple Container Capability
Our Cubing Module can help you optimize the packing of envelopes and cases to palletizing large orders in the most efficient manner. It can even be used to streamline internal picking processes where totes are being filled and sent to a deconsolidation area.
