CargoWise’s load planning solution optimizes the use of truck and container space to achieve optimal transportation efficiency. It enables logistics providers and freight forwarders to allocate goods in the most space-efficient manner, eliminating wasted capacity and transportation expenses. The system assesses the size, weight, and dimensions of shipments before recommending the best load arrangement for each container or vehicle.

CargoWise’s load planning technology uses real-time data to ensure that every shipment, bulk or less-than-container load (LCL), is properly allotted space. This minimizes the number of trips required, optimizes fuel efficiency, and increases overall operational productivity. CargoWise also offers multi-modal load planning, which ensures that air, sea, and road transportation are all coordinated seamlessly. It also examines issues such as weight distribution and cargo handling limits to prevent damage during transit.
