Abstract
A method for identifying shipment shortages on pallets is provided. In some embodiments, the method includes taking one or more digital images of a pallet with a shipment thereon to estimate the shipment's volume. The method further includes estimating an anticipated shipment volume based on the shipment's invoice information, and comparing the estimated shipment volume to the anticipated shipment volume to calculate volume mismatches. The volume mismatches can be used as an indicator of any shipment errors.
