Automatic load optimization
One click packs the full cargo list into every container and trailer in the project, and keeps each one within its payload.
Features
3D load planning for every container and truck.
Plan, check and share container and truck loads, from Excel packing list to loading dock.
Plan
Automatic load planning for the whole shipment.
Auto Plan packs your cargo list into every container and trailer in the project, following the loading rules and cargo constraints you set.
Multi-container load planning
Split one shipment across as many containers as it needs, move items between them, then recalculate in one click.
Packing algorithm built on research
PackSearch builds on leading research in container loading and searches thousands of possible plans to make better use of your space.
Loading rules
Keep groups apart or in sequence, load in list order, pack cylinders in a hexagonal pattern and balance weight side to side. Options depend on the planning method.
Cargo constraints
Do not stack, do not rotate, do not tilt and floor only work with every planning method. Max layers and max load per stack work with the other planning methods.
Check
Check every load plan in 3D.
Step through the load in 3D, then check the center of gravity, payload and door fit before anything is loaded.
Interactive 3D load viewer
Rotate, zoom and step through the plan item by item: in packing order, from the front wall to the door, or block by block.
Center of gravity analysis
Each container is rated Optimal, Acceptable, Warning or Critical from its balance along the length and width, with a warning when the weight sits too high.
Payload and weight limits
Every container shows how much of its volume and payload is in use, color-coded as it fills.
Manual load editing
Move and rotate items in 3D, snap them into place and undo any edit. Keyboard shortcuts keep it quick.
Container door check
Enter the door size, and the planner flags any item that cannot pass through it in an allowed orientation.
Organize
Your cargo, equipment and team in one workspace.
Set up your cargo library and container templates once, and reuse them in every load plan your team creates.
Cargo library
Save items with dimensions, weight, shape, color, group and constraints. Type a name or SKU in any project, and the rest fills in.
Container and trailer library
Dry, high cube, open top and reefer containers, EU and US trailers, and your own equipment with door size, payload and tare.
Excel and CSV packing list import
Drop in an .xlsx, .xls or .csv packing list. Every row is checked before it reaches your plan, and you can fix it on the spot.
Shipment projects
Every shipment is a project that moves from draft to planned to completed. Duplicate one for the next load on the same lane.
Team collaboration and roles
Owners, admins and members share one workspace. Teammates who only view are free, up to 10 per seat.
Metric and imperial units
Work in millimeters, centimeters, meters, inches or feet, and kilograms or pounds, set for you or for each project.
