4D Scale Integration with Skustack

Overview

The 4D Scale integration with Skustack allows you to instantly retrieve scale readings with a single tap on your device’s screen. These readings are immediately reflected in Skustack, eliminating the need for manual input of weight or dimensions and streamlining your shipping and receiving workflows. Capture the weight of every new product entering your warehouse during the receiving process, or quickly measure box weight and dimensions to calculate shipping rates for your fulfillment operations.

Integrate 4D Scale with Skustack

Once your 4D Scale is connected, you can integrate it with Skustack to seamlessly pull in scale readings.

If your scale is set to use the metric system and you’d like to view the measurements that way in Skustack as well, you can simply change the UoM setting on your Skustack device.

Choose a Default 4D Scale

As there can be multiple scales linked to your account, you will need to select the one Skustack should use.

  1. Navigate to Settings > 4D Scale. A list of available scales linked to your team’s account will be displayed.
  2. Choose the default scale for Skustack to use. You can select a default scale that is currently offline, but you will need to ensure it is active before you can use it.

Get Scale Readings

When viewing weight readings in Skustack, you can pull in the information directly from the default scale by simply tapping the 4D Scale icon on the activity or dialog. This option is available in the workflows outlined below.

Product Dimensions

To record your 4D Scale’s readings as product’s dimensions in Skustack:

  1. Scan the product on your 4D Scale with your Skustack device.
  2. In the Product Info module, select Dimensions.
  3. Choose the correct Dimension Type and tap on the 4D Scale icon in the activity dialog.
  4. The scale’s measurements will be automatically recorded as the item’s dimension in Skustack, and a green checkmark will be displayed to signify the update.

When you open the respective item in the Skustack Admin, a green checkmark indicates the 4D Scale verification.

Click on the checkmark indicator to view the following verification details:

  • Field Name – The updated dimension field.
  • Field Value – The verified dimension value.
  • Verified On – Verification date and time.
  • Verified By – The email address of the person who verified the dimension.

To remove the verification checkmark, click Mark As Not-Verified.

POs and Containers

This integration also allows you to pull in scale readings when receiving an item on a PO or Container:

  1. Open the desired PO or Container and select a product.
  2. Open the product’s Dimensions and select a Dimension Type.
  3. Tap the Pull from 4D Scale icon to pull in the scale readings.
  4. Tap Set to apply the measurements to the product.

Inbound Shipments

When managing FBA or WFS box content, you can select a package and pull in the Box Dimensions with a simple tap on the 4D Scale icon:

  1. Open the desired shipment.
  2. Select a package and box.
  3. Tap the 4D Scale icon to pull in the readings.
  4. Tap Set to apply the measurements to the box.
