1. A package dimensioning device configured for ascertaining measurements of cuboidal and boxed packages to provide data to computer-implemented package management processes, the device comprising:
a frame including a base and a vertical support member extending vertically from the base, the base being configured to receive a package thereon and comprises a weight sensor configured to output a weight data signal related to a weight of the package;
multiple spaced-apart contactless sensors including a top sensor carried by the vertical support member, and side sensors positioned adjacent sides of the base, the top sensor and the side sensors being configured to output dimensional data signals related to a height, length and width of the package;
a control unit communicatively coupled to the weight sensor and multiple spaced apart sensors and configured to calculate weight, height, length and width measurements of the package based upon the weight data signal and dimensional data signals; and
a communication unit coupled to the control unit and configured to output the weight, height, length and width measurements to a computer network resource for access and use by the computer-implemented package management processes.
