Cedar Rapids, Iowa – December 19, 2025 - Cla-Val, a global leader in precision-engineered automatic control valves, has transformed its shipping operations and saved hundreds of thousands of dollars by implementing MobileDemand’s xDIM mobile dimensioning and xScale weighing solutions. By replacing manual measurement processes with accurate, mobile technology, Cla-Val has significantly improved throughput, eliminated costly carrier disputes, and modernized a critical part of its logistics workflow.

With hundreds of domestic and international parcels and pallets shipped each week - and annual freight spend approaching $1 million - Cla-Val recognized the need for a faster, more accurate, and more dependable approach to dimensioning, weighing, and documenting outgoing shipments.

“For years, we relied on tape measures and manual data entry,” said David Koeblitz, CFO at Cla-Val. “It was slow, error-prone, and made it difficult to challenge inaccurate carrier surcharges. We knew there had to be a better way.”

From Manual Processes to Mobile Precision In early 2023, while exploring new technologies online, Cla-Val discovered MobileDemand and began testing the xDIM mobile dimensioning solution. What started as a trial quickly became a mission-critical system across the shipping floor.

By February 2023, Cla-Val had deployed xDIM and later expanded its investment to include four xDIM units and three xScale S200s, fully integrating the solutions with its ERP and freight systems.

“xDIM is correct and world class,” Koeblitz said. “The accuracy, ease of use, and seamless integration made it an obvious choice.”

Key factors in Cla-Val’s decision included the mobility of the solution, fast user adoption, automated data capture, built-in photo documentation, and responsive technical support from MobileDemand.

Measurable Results and Major Cost Savings

Since implementation, Cla-Val has processed more than 27,000 dimensions using xDIM and now ships hundreds of packages weekly with confidence. The results include:

· Faster shipping throughput and reduced labor time

· Elimination of manual measurement and data entry errors

· Fewer mistakes, rework, and shipment delays

· Consistent, reliable shipment documentation One of the most impactful benefits has been automatic photo documentation, captured with every shipment. These images have become a critical tool for resolving disputes and validating shipment details.

In one instance, Cla-Val avoided an incorrect overseas freight surcharge - saving approximately $50,000 - by providing clear photo evidence of shipment dimensions and weight. Overall, the company estimates that photo-backed data from xDIM has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in dispute-related costs.

“It’s a game-changer,” Koeblitz added. “Clear photo evidence of each item’s true dimensions and weight has saved us hundreds of thousands, and carrier disputes have become far less common thanks to the credibility we’ve built.”

Trusted Data, Stronger Carrier Relationships

With precise dimensioning, accurate weights, and visual proof for every shipment, Cla-Val has built a reputation with carriers for accuracy, transparency, and trustworthiness - leading to dramatically fewer disputes and zero unexpected surcharges.

Supported by MobileDemand’s cloud-based portal, Cla-Val can easily manage configuration updates and scale its deployment without disruption.

Looking Ahead

As Cla-Val continues to modernize its operations, the company is exploring additional MobileDemand capabilities and best practices to further enhance shipping efficiency and scalability.

With a strong technology foundation in place, Cla-Val is well positioned to continue innovating - delivering faster processing, reduced disputes, trusted shipping data, and sustained cost savings.
