Cargo Planner is a comprehensive load planning tool designed to optimize container and cargo loading for various modes of transportation, including sea, road, air, and pallets. It is suitable for companies of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises. According to the vendor, Cargo Planner is utilized by freight forwarders, warehouses, manufacturers, air cargo handlers, and system integrators to enhance logistics operations.

Key Features

Container Loading: Cargo Planner offers interactive load plans with the sea container calculator to optimize container loading. It supports mixed containers and allows users to select from multiple container types. The container builder feature enables customization of container and trailer types, while also providing the ability to load oversized cargoes in flat racks, open tops, flatbed trailers, and PMC's. Interactive integrations with the SDK and API allow for embedding the 3D view in applications.

Truck Loading: Users can create interactive load plans with the road trailer calculator, supporting multiple trailer types and custom trailer creation. The road train configuration allows for the setup of configurable sets of vehicles. The routing feature enables setting destinations and load order, while also handling out-of-gauge cargoes and axle weight limitations.

Air Cargo Calculator: Cargo Planner provides the ability to generate 3D load plans using the ULD calculator or entire aircraft configurations. The automatic bottom raise feature is available for air pallets, and both lower body and upper body container support is provided. Users can load entire aircraft with ULDs in seconds, and the shipping factor helps calculate the volumetric weight.

Pallet Calculator: The pallet calculator transforms Excel lists into optimized palletization solutions. It supports mixed items and out-of-gauge cargo, allowing users to overload pallets if needed. Custom pallets and boxes can also be created. Additionally, users can load pallets onto sea containers, trucks, trailers, air pallets, or other pallets. The pallet calculator provides a 3D view of packing algorithm suggestions.
