Cargo Load Optimizer

Know Your Space.
Before You Book.

Calculate how cargo fits into containers and trucks before the booking is confirmed.

Cargo Load Optimizer takes dimensions, weight, and quantity of your cargo and works out how it is placed inside a container or trailer, how much of the space is used, and how much remains available for the rest of the shipment.

Use Cargo Load Optimizer directly on our platform, connect it to your own system via API, or launch a ready to use Cargo Load Optimizer on your website with Web Integration.

Load Planning Decided Before the Cargo Moves

A bad fit is rarely discovered on a screen. It is discovered at the loading bay, when the last pallets do not go in.

By then the container is booked, the truck is waiting, and the options are a second shipment, a larger container, or cargo left behind.

Cargo Load Optimizer moves that decision to the beginning of the process, where changing it still costs nothing.

What Cargo Load Optimizer Calculates

  • Cargo Placement

    Work out how boxes, pallets, drums, and non standard cargo are arranged inside the loading space.

    Placement accounts for orientation, stacking, and the physical limits of each unit instead of dividing one volume by another.

  • Used and Available Space

    See how much of the container or trailer the cargo occupies and how much capacity is still free.

    Remaining space is expressed in usable terms, so it is clear whether another consignment can join the same shipment.

  • Container and Truck Types

    Run the same cargo against 20ft, 40ft, and 40ft high cube containers, as well as road trailers.

    Comparing equipment types before booking shows which option carries the shipment without paying for space that stays empty.

  • Weight and Volume Limits

    Track weight alongside volume, because a container often reaches its payload limit long before it is visually full.

    Both constraints are checked together so a load that fits by size but not by weight is identified in advance.

One Cargo List. Every Loading Scenario.

Shipments are rarely a single type of cargo. A consignment may combine palletised goods, loose cartons, drums, and oversized items in one booking.

Cargo Load Optimizer takes the complete cargo list and calculates the loading scenario for it as a whole, rather than estimating each item separately.

This gives freight forwarders, shippers, importers, exporters, manufacturers, and warehouse teams a common answer to the same question before the shipment is committed.

Built Exclusively for Freight Loading

Cargo Load Optimizer is built for commercial cargo moving in containers, trailers, and other freight equipment.

The calculation is designed around the realities of international shipping: mixed cargo lists, stacking restrictions, payload limits, and equipment that is booked before it is loaded.

Cargo Load Optimizer is not designed for warehouse shelf planning, retail packaging design, parcel delivery, or consumer moving calculations.

Our focus is professional freight load planning.

From Cargo List to Loading Plan

Cargo Load Optimizer is designed to answer one practical question:

Will this cargo fit, and what is left over?

Instead of rebuilding the same calculation in a spreadsheet for every shipment, logistics teams enter the cargo once and receive a loading result they can act on.

The objective is not simply to return a percentage of utilisation.

It is to show how the cargo is placed, where the space runs out, and which equipment carries the shipment at the lowest cost.
